Bringing back an absolute classic from the archive and continuing the T90 renaissance, Nike and PSG relaunch the club’s iconic 04/05 jersey, and they do so with a little help from an old friend…
There are jerseys that become part of a club’s history, woven into its tapestry by moments, players, and memories. And then there are shirts that go beyond that – designs so bold, so symbolic, that they live in the memory on aesthetic alone. The Paris Saint-Germain 2004–2005 Nike T90 jersey falls firmly into the latter. Now, 20 years on, PSG and Nike are reviving that instantly recognisable design – and they’re doing it in dream-scenario style. Enter: Ronaldinho.
Let’s rewind. The 2004–2005 PSG T90 jersey is one of the most iconic pieces in the club’s back catalogue. With its bold off-centre red stripe charging down the left side over the heart, trimmed in white, set against deep navy blue, it was – and still is – a head-turner. The ‘Thomson’ sponsor emblazoned across the chest is a throwback to a different time, when Ligue 1 was just beginning to shape its global identity, and PSG were laying the early foundations of their modern-day superstardom.
Originally worn by the likes of Pedro Miguel Pauleta – the “Eagle of the Azores” and a goal machine for Les Parisiens – this shirt has been locked into club folklore. But there’s a twist in the tale. One of PSG’s greatest-ever cult icons, Ronaldinho, never actually got to wear this version of the shirt. His Paris spell ended before this design hit the pitch. Which makes the reissue more than just nostalgic – it’s redemptive. It’s fantasy made real.
Brought to life in collaboration with SNIPES, the reissue of the Nike PSG 04/05 T90 kit brings with it something we rarely see in football: the merging of two cult icons who just missed each other. The shirt, and the player. Ronaldinho in the 04/05 T90? It shouldn’t have been possible. But now, it is. The Gaucho returns to Paris, not on horseback, but on a motorbike, in full PSG drip – the original cult jersey, a matching T90 tracksuit, and white-and-red Nike Total 90 boots complete with the PSG crest. It’s streetwear meets football legacy. Pure poetry.
Because this isn’t just a retro drop. This is a statement. The return of Nike’s Total 90 line – already making noise with remakes for Brazil, the Netherlands, and South Korea – has been steadily pulling 2000s football style back into the spotlight. And this PSG reissue hits different. It’s bold, emotive, and carries a charge that connects the past to the present. Ronaldinho, who embodies everything the T90 era represented – flair, unpredictability, and joy – now becomes the face of a PSG jersey that had always seemed just out of his reach.
And the story doesn't stop here. On 17 August, PSG and Nike will take this energy and push it forward with the unveiling of the 2025–26 Third Kit – a modern take on the T90 aesthetic that promises to continue this stylistic legacy with fresh vision. For fans, it’s the perfect bridge between eras: a reminder of where the club has come from, and a glimpse of where it's heading.
In a time when football kits are increasingly fast fashion, this drop brings meaning. It celebrates identity. It delivers on fantasy. And more than anything, it lets us do what football so often promises but rarely fulfils – imagine a world where Ronaldinho wore that shirt. Now, thanks to PSG, Nike, and SNIPES, we don’t have to imagine it. We can see it. We can wear it. And it’s glorious.
The PSG 2004/05 T90 jersey is available now in limited quantities at official PSG stores and on store.psg.fr
