Crotone Away Shirt 2000/02 – Domenico Giampà – N.6 – Player Issued – Devis – Serie B – Long Sleeved

Domenico Giampà's Player Issued Jersey: A Relic from Crotone's Historic Serie B Era

The Crotone Calcio's second official jersey for the 2000/2002 seasons, in its Player Issued version, is an authentic and extremely rare example of early 2000s Italian football. The away kit is entirely white and long-sleeved – a technical solution typical of professional league winter seasons – with a tone-on-tone geometric jacquard pattern fabric characteristic of Devis' production during those years. The technical brand Devis, the Calabrian club's technical sponsor from 1998 to 2002, outfitted Crotone during the most significant seasons of its history, including its first historic promotion to Serie B and subsequent cadetto championships. The front features the sponsor Caffè Guglielmo, the historic Calabrian brand that accompanied the Rossoblù during that exhilarating period. The official Lega Calcio patch on the left sleeve attests to the category and period. The back bears the surname GIAMPA with the number 6, a specific personalization for Domenico Giampà, a historic midfielder for the Pitagorici club. The XL size is legible on the original inner Devis label. Excellent condition, with intact colors and materials perfectly preserved more than twenty years after production.

The Player: Domenico Giampà

Domenico "Mimmo" Giampà (Catanzaro, February 15, 1977) is an Italian midfielder who spent the best part of his career with Crotone Calcio, becoming one of its most recognizable symbols. After an initial spell with the Rossoblù between 1996 and 1998, Giampà returned to Crotone in 1999, becoming a cornerstone of the solid team that Antonello Cuccureddu built for the historic promotion run to Serie B in the 1999-2000 season – the first in the Calabrian club's history. He remained at Crotone for two more seasons in Serie B, until 2002, totaling five seasons with the Pitagorici and leaving an indelible mark in the memory of the Rossoblù fans. His professional career also includes experiences with Messina, Ascoli, Lucchese, Ternana, Modena, and Salernitana, before retiring and transitioning to a coaching career, with experiences in Serie D and youth sectors. His number 6 jersey represents a relic of a player who wrote an important page in the history of Crotone football.

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 due to a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, competition cut and materials, personalization with the player's name and number, and exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. 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. The Player Issued retains all the charm of a match relic without the need to document its actual use in competition.
