Joao Pedro match worn and signed 22/23 Watford shirt.
The provenance of this shirt was a charitable donation to Hertfordshire police to sale for a fundraiser during the 22/23 season.
Watford FC frequently donate directly to the Hertfordshire Constabulary or local station representatives for internal, unpublicised charity events (such as regional police sports club dinners, retirement fundraisers, or county-wide community outreach galas).
I cannot specify which game this shirt was worn in, but it comes from a specific window of games that can be identified due to the British Red Cross charity sponsor overlay on the shirt numbers. A similar version of the shirt was marketed on match worn shirt which came from the Reading fixture (as identified in the photos above), and they wore this in a few other matches in that period (as identified on other photos included).
This is the most crucial detail. For specific matches during the 2022/23 season (such as the fixture against Reading in November 2022 where shirt sales raised funds for the British Red Cross Ukraine Appeal), Watford modified their shirts. The club heat-pressed a black block text banner reading \"British Red Cross / OFFICIAL CHARITY PARTNER\" directly over the regular \"Stake.com\" branding embedded on the numbers. Commercial replica kits purchased at the club shop did not come with this charity layout pre-applied.
The font weight, correct kerning of JOÃO PEDRO, and the precisely applied Corpay sponsor logo under the number 10 are completely consistent with EFL kit-room specifications.The alignment matches exactly what the squad wore on the pitch.
The shirt features the authentic player-size Sky BetChampionship \"Take Time to Think\" patch on the right arm and the EFL\"Together\" patch on the left arm. These are properly heat-pressed rather than the cheaper aftermarket replicas.
The micro-perforations and seamless fabric weave on the shoulders and upper back conform strictly to Kelme\'s authentic player-issue kits.
