Haaland’s Signed Match-Issued Poppy Shirt: Manchester City vs Liverpool

By Memorabilia Match Worn · 13 August 2026

A special Remembrance Poppy match-issued Manchester City shirt, hand-signed by Erling Haaland, prepared for the Premier League meeting with Liverpool at the Etihad — SportCOA authenticated.

Some shirts are collected for a player. Some for a rivalry. A Poppy shirt adds a third layer: a special commemorative match-day design worn in the Remembrance period of the Premier League calendar.

This listing is a hand-signed, match-issued Manchester City Poppy shirt associated with Erling Haaland for Manchester City vs Liverpool.


What makes this shirt “special Poppy”

Premier League clubs periodically issue Remembrance / Poppy match kits or sleeve treatments for fixtures around Remembrance weekend. Collectors treat these as a distinct sub-category: same club template, but with commemorative detailing that only appears for a short window of the season.

On this piece, the Poppy context is part of the product identity — not an aftermarket add-on.


Shirt facts

  • Player: Erling Haaland (number 9)
  • Club: Manchester City
  • Opponent: Liverpool
  • Competition: Premier League
  • Match date: 9 November 2025
  • Season: 25/26
  • Venue: Etihad Stadium
  • Type: Match-issued and hand-signed
  • Size: XL
  • Manufacturer: Puma (Ultraweave; made in Vietnam)
  • Authentication: SportCOA COA000C003140
  • Reference: 12756

Match-issued means the shirt was prepared for Haaland’s match-day use window. It is not automatically the same claim as match-worn; the listing keeps that language precise while adding the signature and Poppy special designation.


Why the signature matters here

A Poppy shirt without a signature is already niche. A hand-signed Poppy shirt tied to City vs Liverpool combines:

1. Commemorative design window

2. Elite striker demand (Haaland)

3. One of English football’s defining rivalries

4. Verifiable SportCOA certificate

That stack is why this piece sits in a different price and interest band from a standard City home issued shirt.
