Roma Away Shirt 2001/02 – Ivan Tomić – N.23 – Player Issued – Kappa – Serie A Championship – Scudetto

Ivan Tomić's Player Issued Shirt: Roma, Champions of Italy in the 2001/02 Season

The AS Roma 2001/2002 official away shirt in a long-sleeved Player Issued version is a relic of immense historical value in Italian football. Made in Italy by technical sponsor Kappa, it features a white design with Giallorossi (yellow and red) inserts on the sides and collar, grey contrasting stitching, and professional finishes reserved for team supply. The main sponsor INA, accompanied by the Generali Group logo, the Kappa logo, and the AS Roma crest, are prominently displayed on the chest. A detail of great significance is the Tricolore Scudetto with a golden border sewn onto the right shoulder: Roma were the reigning champions of Italy after securing their historic third national title in the 2000/01 season under the guidance of Fabio Capello. The sleeve bears the official Lega Calcio patch. The back is personalized with the nameset Tomic and the number 23 in Giallorossi print. This XXL size specimen is in excellent, superb vintage condition, with vivid colors and perfectly intact fabrics despite the twenty-four years since its production.

The Player: Ivan Tomić

Ivan Tomić (Belgrade, January 1, 1976) is a former Serbian midfielder who played for AS Roma from 1998 to 2003. Acquired from Partizan Belgrade, where he had won three league titles and two national cups, Tomić arrived in the capital with high expectations but found little playing time under first Zeman and then Capello. In the 2001/2002 season, the one this shirt is from, he was part of the Giallorossi squad, wearing number 23, which included champions like Totti, Batistuta, Cafu, Cassano, Emerson, and Samuel. Despite limited appearances that season, his Player Issued shirt represents an authentic document of Roma as champions of Italy and their first historic participation in the Champions League.

What is a Player Issued shirt?

A Player Issued shirt is a jersey specifically prepared for a particular player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version due to its professional finishes, match-grade cut and materials, and exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. In this case, the Italian Kappa production, the professional XXL size, and the high-quality stitching confirm its belonging to the line reserved for players. For collectors, it represents an authentic, highly valuable piece, often impossible to find on the market.
