Real Madrid 1997-98 Champions League Canabal #12 Player Issue

(CLICK PICTURE FOR CLEARER IMAGE)

I will make a review by comparing my Suker #9 with Canabal #12 jerseys which both have clear differences in many aspects. I have arranged and edited the pictures by putting Canabal #12 always on the right side of the picture and I attached some pictures from getty images to compare my Canabal #12 with the real life photos.

Some images might be used twice due to limited images on the internet.

The for name&numbers of Canabal looks similar to Morientes & Raul's name&numbers.

This is how Canabal looks like:

Nothing special about the tags, only that the Canabal is made in Spain while Suker made in Taiwan. Both have different washing tag:

Looks like Seedorf has larger button on the collar and situated nearer the collar.

Seedorf's collar doesn't have lines by looking at the picture.

By refering to the image of Raul &a Morientes it should be no 'Real Madrid C.F.' at the collar.

Printed iTeka and Kelme. Same as Mijatovic wore before the final Champions League.

Lets look at the team emblem. The Suker used a shining thread that gives shining effect. Looks nicer than the Canabal. Apart from that the emblems look the same.

The Cabanal has larger printed name&numbers than the Suker and the colour is brighter.

I'm not very sure about the CL patch but if I put together both images side by side, the orientation and star components look authentic. If I'm right, the patch in below right image doesn't really look like Lextra type of patch. Only the difference is the circle around the CL patch.Continue looking below images.

Something missing at the patch: the thin line around the patch.

Under the light there is shadow due to the leftover fabric inside the sleeves. By comparing below image with Karembeu kissing the cup image, you can see there is different white tone on the sleeve near the purple-triangle.

Now I'm flipping the shirts out.

Same like Nike or Adidas player issue, they have different style of putting the shirt together.

Maybe Kelme didn't have the technology back there so thread is used on the entire shirt.

The sleeves:

This is weird..the triangle looks weird. Both from Canabal shirt.

So thats it. I'm pretty sure that this is the player issue due to the similarities. If anyone has info about this shirt I would love to know about it especially the CL patch since this is the first champions league version I saw with complete name&numbers and patch. Not to forget that Canabal was not so popular during that season and seldom play in the first team.
