Twelve items carry Adel Taarabt’s printing. Eleven are Queens Park Rangers shirts and one is a Benfica shirt, so the range sits almost entirely inside his Loftus Road years. The QPR items come from three kit seasons: six from 2008-09, four from 2009-10 and one from 2010-11. Six are home shirts, three away and three third. The single Benfica entry is a 2019-20 home shirt in a 13-14 years size.
The number is the quickest dating key here. Taarabt wore 39 on the QPR shirts from 2008-09 and 2009-10, the period covering his loan from Tottenham Hotspur, where he had been since 2007. After QPR signed him permanently he switched to 7, and the 2010-11 away shirt in this listing carries that number. At Benfica, where he stayed from 2015 to 2022 and made 79 league appearances, he wore 49, which is the number on the 2019-20 shirt.
Grades run from 5/10 to 8/10 with a median of 7, so these are worn shirts rather than shop-fresh stock. The scale describes wear and fading, not whether a shirt is fit to wear. Sizing is the real constraint: the QPR items are almost all XL, XXL or 3XL, so smaller sizes rarely surface. Prices sit in a broad band from around £70 to £360, with the third shirts at the upper end.
Nothing from Lens, Fulham, AC Milan, Genoa or his later spells in the United Arab Emirates appears in this list.
