Lazio Third Jersey 2022/23 – Nicolò Casale – N.15 – Player Issued – Mizuno – Serie A

Nicolò Casale's Player Issued jersey: Lazio's third kit for 2022/23

The official third jersey of S.S. Lazio for the 2022/2023 season in its Player Issued version is a rare and highly sought-after collectible in contemporary Italian football. Made by Mizuno — the Japanese brand that took over as the Biancocelesti's technical supplier starting in 2022 — it features the characteristic white body with navy sleeves and V-neck, with the Olimpia eagle crest on the chest in a recolored navy version on a dark background. The prominent sponsor Binance, the well-known cryptocurrency exchange that accompanied Lazio this season, is emblazoned on the front. The jersey bears the name CASALE and the number 15 on the back, with the Lazio eagle logos imprinted within the number itself, an exclusive technical detail of the team's supply. The official Serie A TIM patch is applied to the left sleeve. The inner label reads "Japan Engineered – Made in Vietnam" with the club's motto "Noi l'amiamo… E per lei combattiamo" (We love her... And for her we fight), testifying to the artisanal care reserved for versions intended for professional footballers.

The player: Nicolò Casale

Nicolò Casale (Negrar, February 14, 1998) is an Italian central defender who has come to the attention of top-tier football thanks to a career built with determination and constant growth. After years of training and loans — Perugia, Prato, Südtirol, Venezia, Empoli — he finally broke through at Hellas Verona, where in the 2021/22 season he made 36 appearances in Serie A, becoming one of the best central defenders in the league. His high-level season attracted the attention of Maurizio Sarri, who specifically requested him for Lazio: on July 8, 2022, the transfer was official. His impact with the Biancocelesti jersey was immediate and of the highest caliber: Casale, along with Alessio Romagnoli, formed one of the most solid defensive partnerships in Serie A 2022/23, making 29 league appearances and contributing significantly to the excellent fifth-place finish for Sarri's team. The number 15 jersey with Lazio is the sporting document of one of the best seasons of his career: a physical defender, dominant in aerial play, capable of combining defensive solidity and personality, which Lazio itself celebrated with a video tribute at the end of the season. Currently playing for Bologna, Casale remains one of the most reliable Italian defenders of his generation.

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, personalization with the player's name and number, match-grade cut and materials, exclusive technical details reserved for the team's supply. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of extremely high historical and commercial value, often impossible to find on the market a long time after its production.
