Torino FC Home Jersey 2019/20 – Andrea Belotti – No. 9 – Player Issued – Joma – Serie A

Andrea Belotti's Player Issued jersey: a maroon document from the 2019/20 Serie A season

The first official Torino FC jersey for the 2019/2020 season in its Player Issued version is a relic of absolute rarity in the landscape of contemporary Italian football collecting. This marks the first year of the technical partnership between the maroon club and Joma, the Spanish technical sponsor that redesigned Torino's visual identity with an immediately recognizable kit: intense maroon, a polo collar with two buttons, white cuffs and armholes, and the presence of the main sponsor Suzuki on the front along with the iconic double sponsorship with Fratelli Beretta on the chest. On the back, the number 9 with the surname BELOTTI stands out, further complemented by the sponsor Edilizia Acrobatica. The jersey is produced in China in size L and bears the internal label with the wording "EXCLUSIVE DESIGN APPROVED BY PROFESSIONAL TEAM ATHLETES," a distinctive indicator of the match version reserved for team supply. The patch on the left sleeve with the inscription "1929–2019" celebrates the 90th anniversary of Serie A, an exclusive detail present only on kits from the 2019/20 season. The condition is Excellent: vibrant colors, intact fabric, perfect stitching.

The player: Andrea Belotti

Andrea Belotti (Calcinate, December 20, 1993), nicknamed "Il Gallo" (The Rooster), is one of the most beloved and prolific Italian strikers of his generation. Arriving at Torino in 2015 after experiences with AlbinoLeffe and Palermo, he forged an indissoluble bond with the maroon jersey, quickly becoming the club's symbol and captain. In seven seasons with Torino, he scored 113 goals in 252 appearances, becoming the second-highest scorer in the club's history in Serie A, second only to legend Paolo Pulici. In the 2019/20 season — the one this jersey is from — he reached double-digit goals in Serie A for the fifth consecutive season, confirming extraordinary scoring consistency. The pinnacle of his international career came in the summer of 2021, when he contributed to Italy's victory at UEFA Euro 2020. A career that has made this Player Issued jersey not only a document of a memorable maroon season but also a relic of one of the most authentic and popular Italian center-forwards of the last twenty years.

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, internal labels with wording reserved for team supply, match-grade cut and materials, and exclusive technical details. In the case of this Joma jersey, the wording "EXCLUSIVE DESIGN APPROVED BY PROFESSIONAL TEAM ATHLETES" on the internal label is the authentic marker of the match version, absent in store versions intended for the public. It is hierarchically superior to the commercial 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.
