AlbinoLeffe Home Shirt 2005/06 – Joelson – No. 9 – Player Issued – Acerbis – Serie B Championship

Joelson's Player Issued Jersey: A Rare Relic from Italian Serie B

The first official AlbinoLeffe jersey for the 2005/2006 season in Player Issued version is an authentic relic of great interest to collectors of vintage Italian football memorabilia. Made in Italy by the technical sponsor Acerbis, it features the characteristic light blue and navy blue two-tone scheme that has always distinguished the Seriana team, with dark inserts on the shoulders and sleeves. The front displays the club crest and the BPU Assicurazioni sponsor, while the official Lega Calcio Serie B TIM patch, a distinctive and unrepeatable element of professional kits from that era, is applied to the left sleeve. The back is personalized with the number 9 and the surname Joelson, with professional quality sublimated print graphics. The internal label certifies size L, 82% polyester and 18% elastomere composition, and Made in Italy production. A specimen preserved in superb Excellent vintage condition, with vivid colors and perfectly intact fabric twenty years after its production.

The Player: Joelson

Joelson José Inácio (Ibitinga, Brazil, July 10, 1983) is a Brazilian striker who grew up in the Atalanta youth sector, with whom he played in the National Primavera Championship final in 2002. He arrived at AlbinoLeffe in the summer of 2004 in co-ownership with Atalanta and was definitively acquired by the Seriana club in June 2005, becoming a key player in the blue-and-sky-blue attack. In the 2005/2006 season, he finished the league as one of the team's top scorers with 5 goals, contributing decisively to the Bergamaschi's survival, achieved in the play-outs against Avellino. With the number 9 on his back, Joelson embodied for three seasons the combative and genuine spirit of AlbinoLeffe, a team that wrote one of the most beautiful fairy tales of Italian football in the 2000s. His player-issued jersey from the 2005/06 season is a direct testament to that extraordinary journey.

What is a Player Issued Jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit specifically prepared for a particular player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version by a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, personalization with the player's name and number, match-grade cut and materials, exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to a Match Worn jersey. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of very high historical and commercial value, often impossible to find on the market years after its production.
