A clear, perfectly legible piece enhanced by a historical detail that increases its charm.

The Player: Matteo Ferrari

Matteo Ferrari (Aflou, Algeria, December 5, 1979) is an Italian central defender who spent his early high-level career years at Parma, where he established himself as one of the best young defenders in Italian football in the early 2000s. With the Ducali, he won the Coppa Italia in the 2001/2002 season, beating Juventus in the double final. Solid and with a great sense of positioning, he then played for Roma, Everton, Genoa, and Besiktas, as well as a spell in the United States with the Montreal Impact. He made important appearances with the Italian national team, participating in qualifiers and confirming himself among the most reliable defenders of his generation. His shirt represents an authentic fragment of a glorious period for Parma.

What is a signed Player Issued shirt?

A Player Issued shirt is a uniform prepared according to team supply standards, with match-grade finishes and materials, hierarchically superior to the store version intended for the public. When it bears the original autograph of the player accompanied by the MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA), its collectible value increases exponentially, becoming an authentic and impossible-to-replicate piece. It differs from the commercial version by exclusive technical details and from a printed reproduction by the spontaneity and three-dimensionality of the autograph stroke.
