Fiorentina Home Shirt 2018/19 – Vitor Hugo – No. 31 – Player Issued – Le Coq Sportif – Coppa Italia

Vitor Hugo's Player Issued jersey: Fiorentina's number 31 in the 2018/19 Coppa Italia

The first official ACF Fiorentina jersey for the 2018/2019 season in its Player Issued version is a rare and distinctive relic of contemporary Viola football. The intense purple signed by Le Coq Sportif — with the characteristic single-button polo collar that distinguishes this kit — is the uniform with which Fiorentina played in the Coppa Italia that season, as evidenced by the official Coppa Italia patch embroidered on the left sleeve. On the chest, the main sponsor Save the Children stands out, a social partnership that characterized the Viola during those years. The inside of the jersey features the "Saluto alla Voce" with the inscription "Viva Fiorenzai!", an exclusive detail of the match version. On the back, the nameset "VITOR HUGO" with the number 31 and the inscription "Florence 4ever", a tribute to the lily city. Le Coq Sportif label, size XL, made in Morocco. Excellent condition.

The player: Vitor Hugo

Vitor Hugo Gomes Passos (Brazil, July 24, 1991), known as Vitor Hugo, is a Brazilian central defender who wore the Viola jersey for Fiorentina from 2016 to 2019, becoming one of the pillars of the lily's defense. With the number 31 on his back, he played three seasons in Serie A, distinguishing himself for his defensive solidity, quality in aerial play, and ability to lead the defense with authority. In the 2018/19 season, his last in Florence, Vitor Hugo confirmed his role as a starter, contributing to the Tuscan club's Serie A and Coppa Italia campaigns. His experience with the Viola consecrated him as one of the most appreciated Brazilian defenders in Italian football during those years, leaving a positive memory among Fiorentina fans.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a uniform specifically prepared for a certain player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version due to a series of precise technical characteristics: original competitive patches sewn by the club, match cut and materials, exclusive internal details of the team supply — such as the text "Saluto alla Voce / Viva Fiorenzai!" present inside this example. The Player Issued version is hierarchically superior to the store jersey available to the public and inferior only to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of great historical and commercial value, often impossible to find years after its production.
