The Birmingham City 2002–03 Away Retro Football Shirt recreates the distinctive black away design worn during the club's first season in the Premier League. Under manager Steve Bruce, Birmingham successfully established themselves in the top flight, finishing 13th with 48 points during a memorable campaign.
Featuring a predominantly black colourway with contrasting blue details and the classic Phones 4u sponsor across the chest, the shirt captures the unmistakable style of early-2000s English football. The design was worn by a Birmingham squad featuring Robbie Savage, Clinton Morrison, Stern John and Christophe Dugarry.
The season included several memorable moments for the Blues, including completing a Premier League double over local rivals Aston Villa. Birmingham followed their famous home victory with a 2–0 win at Villa Park in March 2003, helping secure a comfortable first season in the Premier League.

Rec. Player Printing Options
Printing Recommendation SAVAGE 8 Best Printing Choice. One of the most recognisable players from Birmingham City's first Premier League season, making this a distinctive and highly representative 2002–03 option.

HORSFIELD 9 A classic Birmingham City option and a strong choice for supporters looking for a traditional centre-forward No.9. CLEMENCE 32 A distinctive period-specific midfield option and one of the players directly associated with the 2002–03 away shirt. Best Printing Choice SAVAGE 8
Second Choice DUGARRY 21
Third Choice MORRISON 19
We recommend SAVAGE 8 as the standout printing choice for the Birmingham City 2002–03 Away Retro Football Shirt. Robbie Savage joined Birmingham ahead of their first Premier League campaign and quickly became one of the most recognisable figures in Steve Bruce's side, making 33 league appearances and scoring four goals during the season.
DUGARRY 21 is our second recommendation. The 1998 World Cup winner arrived midway through the campaign and scored five Premier League goals in 16 appearances, becoming a memorable figure in Birmingham's successful battle to remain in the top flight. MORRISON 19 completes the top three after finishing as the club's leading Premier League scorer with six goals.
