Genoa Home Shirt 2017/18 – Andrei Galabinov – No. 16 – Player Issued – Lotto – Serie A Championship

Galabinov's Player Issued Jersey: Genoa's Number 16 in Serie A 2017/18

The first official Genoa CFC jersey for the 2017/2018 season in Player Issued version is an authentic and rare relic of contemporary Italian football. The red-and-blue quartered design — half red, half dark blue — is the Griffon's unchanging signature identity: a kit immediately recognizable among all Italian football jerseys. Made by Lotto Sport with the technical care reserved for team supplies, this version differs from commercial jerseys in the quality of materials, the official Serie A TIM 2017-18 patch applied to the left sleeve, and internal details that certify its professional nature. The crew-neck collar is embroidered with the words "Il Club più antico d'Italia" (The Oldest Club in Italy), a motto that Genoa has proudly carried since 1893. The back features "GALABINOV" and the number 16 in white in the official match font. Excellent condition, size L.

The Player: Andrei Galabinov

Andrei Galabinov (Moscow, April 24, 1988) is a naturalized Bulgarian striker who wrote some of the most significant pages in Genoa's football history in the 2000s. Arriving at Genoa in the summer of 2017, he wore the number 16 with the first red-and-blue jersey, playing a high-level Serie A season, establishing himself as a reference point for the Griffon's attack. Before Genoa, Galabinov had already demonstrated his qualities in the Italian championship with teams like Spezia and Novara, earning a reputation as a physical and technical center-forward, lethal in front of goal. An international for Bulgaria, he represents one of the most appreciated foreign profiles by the red-and-blue fans that season. His Player Issued number 16 jersey is direct evidence of a precise moment in the club's history and an authentic protagonist of Italian Serie A.

What is a Player Issued Jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit prepared specifically for a specific player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version due to a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, original competitive patches, match-fit cut and materials, exclusive technical details reserved for team supplies. The Player Issued version is hierarchically superior to the store jersey available to the public, and inferior only to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of great historical and commercial value, often difficult to find on the market years after its production, as it was not intended for ordinary commercial distribution.
