SSC Napoli Away Jersey 2017/18 – José María Callejón – N.7 – Player Issued – Kappa Kombat – Long Sleeves – Serie A

Callejón's long-sleeved Away shirt: Napoli 2017/18 in a unique team-issue specimen

The SSC Napoli away kit for the 2017/2018 season in a long-sleeved Player Issued version is an authentic and remarkably narrative relic for Neapolitan collectors. Made by Kappa with Kombat technology for team supply — as attested by the "GARA" (MATCH) label on the inside tag — it features a bright yellow color with Lete and Garofalo sponsors on the front and Kimbo on the back. The official Serie A TIM 2017-2018 patch is sewn on the left sleeve. The back bears the surname CALLEJÓN and the number 7 in blue. The most significant collecting peculiarity: this shirt is long-sleeved, a version specially prepared for Callejón due to his allergy to contact with synthetic pitches, which forced him to cover his arm skin throughout the season. A detail that makes this specimen unequivocally identifiable as his personal supply. Size M. Excellent condition.

The player: José María Callejón

José María Callejón Bueno (Motril, Spain, February 11, 1987) is one of the most complete and long-standing Spanish attacking wingers in contemporary Italian football. Developed at Real Madrid, he arrived in Naples in 2013, becoming one of the most beloved and representative players for the Neapolitan club for seven consecutive seasons. With Napoli, he made over 280 appearances, scoring more than 80 goals, specializing in off-the-ball runs and the suffocating pressing that characterized Maurizio Sarri's play. The 2017/18 season was one of his best in blue: Sarri's Napoli long challenged Juventus for the title, finishing second with 91 points, a record for points without winning. His yellow long-sleeved number 7 shirt — a personal and unmistakable detail — is a direct relic of one of the highest moments in the club's recent history.

What is a Player Issued shirt?

A Player Issued shirt is a kit prepared specifically for a certain player but not necessarily used in every official match. It differs from the commercial version by its professional-grade technical materials, personalization with name and number, and internal details reserved for team supply — such as the "GARA" (MATCH) inscription on the Kappa label of this specimen. In this particular case, the long-sleeved version is an exclusive customization prepared for Callejón, who never wore a short-sleeved shirt throughout his career in Naples. In the hierarchy of football collecting, the Player Issued occupies a higher position than the store version and is only surpassed by the Match Worn.
