Bologna Home Jersey 2018/19 – Danilo – No. 23 – Match Worn – Macron – Serie A

Danilo's Match Worn jersey: an authentic relic from the 2018/19 Serie A season

The first official Bologna FC 1909 jersey for the 2018/2019 season in its Match Worn version is one of the rarest and most documented pieces a collector can find on the Italian market. Made by Macron with technical match materials reserved exclusively for team supplies, it features the double red and blue vertical striped coloration, the Liu·Jo sponsor on the front, and the embroidered club logo on the chest. The element that distinguishes this example from any other commercial version is the official "Match Worn — Bologna FC 1909 — 2018-2019" label sewn inside, applied directly by the club as a document of authenticity for the match kit. The back is personalized with the name DANILO and the number 23, the one worn by the Brazilian defender during his first season with the Rossoblù. The sleeve bears the official Serie A TIM 2018-2019 patch, a further element of authenticity and historical contextualization of the jersey. Size XL (H 184-189 cm), consistent with the player's physical characteristics.

The Player: Danilo

Danilo Larangeira (São Bernardo do Campo, May 10, 1984) is a Brazilian central defender, with dual Italian-Brazilian nationality, who spent over a decade in Serie A with solidity, experience, and top-level defensive leadership. After seven seasons at Udinese — where he made almost 250 appearances and earned the status of a pillar and captain of the Friulian defense — in August 2018, he joined Bologna to begin a new chapter in his Italian career. With the Rossoblù, he played three seasons, totaling 102 appearances and 3 goals before retiring in July 2022. His number 23 jersey from the 2018/19 season is the sporting document of the first year in Bologna for a defender who marked an era in Italian football, capable of facing the best strikers in Serie A with the class and solidity of someone who made marking an art form.

What is a Match Worn jersey?

A Match Worn jersey is the kit actually worn by a footballer during one or more official matches. It represents the highest level in the collecting hierarchy in the world of football jerseys, superior to both the Store version and the Player Issued version. Its authenticity is documented by a series of precise technical and formal elements: official club labels sewn inside, match customizations (name and number on the back), competition patches on the sleeves, and technical finishes reserved for team supplies. In this example, the "Match Worn — Bologna FC 1909 — 2018-2019" label sewn inside directly and unequivocally certifies the nature and origin of the piece. The collectible value of a documented Match Worn jersey is significantly higher than any other version of the same kit and grows over time in relation to the club's history and the player's career.
