Hellas Verona Goalkeeper Shirt 2019/20 – Marco Silvestri – No.1 – Player Issued – Macron – 90th Anniversary Serie A Patch – Serie A

Marco Silvestri's Player Issued Goalkeeper Jersey: a relic from the season of his great return to Serie A

The Hellas Verona goalkeeper jersey for the 2019/2020 season, in its Player Issued version, is a highly collectible item, linked to the Scaliger club's return to the top Italian league after being promoted from Serie B. Made by Macron in a refined light grey-blue color with a tone-on-tone linear pattern and black side bands, it represents one of the most elegant goalkeeper kits in the recent history of the Verona club. The front features the official sponsors AirDolomiti as main sponsor and Gruppo Sinergy as secondary sponsor, combined with the Macron logo and the historic oval shield of Hellas Verona – the version prior to the 2020 rebranding with the two mastiffs. On the left sleeve is the commemorative Serie A 1929-2019 patch, produced for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Italian championship: a patch that appears exclusively on the 2019/20 season jerseys, making this specimen immediately and unequivocally datable. The name SILVESTRI and the number 1 are applied in dark blue on the back according to the standards of the match kit. Made in China, size L (h 178-183 cm), with the internal label "Per Sempre Gialloblu" (Forever Yellow and Blue).

The Player: Marco Silvestri

Marco Silvestri (Castelnovo ne' Monti, March 2, 1991) is one of the most reliable Italian goalkeepers of his generation and one of the absolute protagonists of Hellas Verona's resurgence in Serie A. Having come up through the Juventus youth ranks, he found his true calling in the top league precisely in Verona, where he became an indispensable point of reference between the posts under the guidance of Ivan Juric. In the 2019/20 season – the first year of the yellow and blue's return to Serie A after promotion – Silvestri played a solid season that laid the groundwork for the subsequent exploit of the 2020/21 championship, in which Juric's Verona became one of the most acclaimed surprises in Italian football. His performances made him one of the most appreciated goalkeepers in Serie A during that period, contributing to the construction of what was called the best defense in the league the following season. After his experience in Verona, Silvestri continued his career in Serie A, confirming himself as one of the most reliable goalkeepers in Italian 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 team supply finishes, player's name and number applied according to match standards, and exclusive technical cut and materials. 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 years after its production. Player Issued goalkeeper jerseys are among the most sought-after items in football collecting, produced in significantly fewer numbers than outfield jerseys and rarely available on the secondary market.
