Delvecchio's Player Issued jersey: AS Roma's 2000/01 Scudetto in a unique piece

The first AS Roma jersey for the 2000/2001 season in its Player Issued version is one of the most sought-after and historically significant memorabilia in Italian football collecting of the last thirty years. Produced by Kappa - the historical technical sponsor of the Giallorossi at that time - it features the classic carmine red with a gold yellow collar and trim, with the characteristic Kappa logos embroidered on the sleeves. The INA Assitalia sponsor stands out centrally in white on the chest, while the official Lega Calcio patch is sewn on the left sleeve. The back shows the surname DELVECCHIO and the number 24 in white in the official font of the season. The XL size indicates the proportions typical of team supplies. Excellent vintage condition, with vivid colors and perfectly intact fabric more than twenty years after the most glorious season in the recent history of the Roman club.

The player: Marco Delvecchio

Marco Delvecchio (Rome, November 28, 1973) is one of the most representative Italian strikers of the nineties and two thousands, a symbolic figure of AS Roma for an entire decade. Having grown up in the Roman youth academy, he made his Serie A debut with Roma and remained there for 231 appearances and 62 goals, becoming the protagonist of some of the most beautiful pages in the club's history. The 2000/2001 season was his personal and collective peak: under the guidance of Fabio Capello, Delvecchio contributed to winning the third Scudetto in Roma's history, the first after eighteen years of waiting. That same season saw him score the winning goal in the Euro 2000 final with the Italian national team against France, before the French comeback in extra time. His number 24 jersey is an authentic and irreplaceable document of that unrepeatable cycle.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit prepared specifically for a given player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version intended for fans due to a series of precise technical characteristics: materials and finishes typical of team supplies, personalization with the player's number and surname, exclusive cut and internal details. In the hierarchy of football collecting, the Player Issued occupies a higher position than the store version and is second only to Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of very high historical value, especially when - as in this case - it belongs to a title-winning season with one of the most beloved teams in Italian football.
