Serie A

Historic Serie A shirts

For many years, the Italian championship was considered one of the most beautiful in the world, with teams fiercely battling for the Scudetto. From those years, the jerseys that remain indelible in the memories of every fan and football enthusiast remain, as do collectible memorabilia and historic Serie A jerseys. For any team and fan base, one of the symbols of football passion is the jersey, which, from its origins to today, has undergone numerous changes. Thanks to historic brands, the jerseys have perfectly adapted to fashion trends, becoming vintage football jerseys worthy of collection. Originally, no sponsors, neither technical nor commercial, were featured on the jerseys until the 1970s and 1980s, and one of the first teams to have a sponsor on their jersey was an Italian team, Lanerossi Vicenza, in the 1950s. Shortly before sponsorships were liberalized, we find a first attempt on the Udinese jersey of the 1980s. Then-club president Teofilo Sanson considered adding the logo of his eponymous ice cream company to the shorts, since the regulations only covered jerseys. This was short-lived, however, as the FIGC quickly nixed the initiative. At the time, jerseys were made of polyester, and acrylic replaced the cotton of previous years.

Historic Football Shirts of the Italian Championship.

The 1980s arrived, and with them the liberalization of technical and commercial sponsors. Many of those retro soccer jerseys have remained etched in our memory, not only thanks to the exploits of the players who wore them, but also because the brands that began to follow the decade's trends: Diadora, NR, Kappa, Lotto. For example, a well-known Italian brand, NR, began producing soccer jerseys made of wool, a blend of cotton and wool, with V-necks, hand-sewn numbers and crests, and the typical bright colors. Memorable, for example, are the historic Napoli jerseys designed by Ennerre and Mars, which won the Scudetto. With the new decade came new textures and new technical and commercial sponsors. The colors are vibrant and the patterns eccentric: these are the soccer jerseys of the 1990s. For example, one of the most extravagant of the historic Genoa jerseys is the 1992/93 one designed by Errea, with its bright colors and all-over textures. Between the late 1990s and early 2000s, many technical sponsors were replaced by two large multinationals, Nike and Adidas.
