Hellas Verona Home Jersey 2020/21 – Federico Ceccherini – No.17 – Player Issued – Macron – Serie A TIM – Verona vs Atalanta Patch 21/03/2021

Federico Ceccherini's jersey: a yellow and blue relic with a Serie A 2020/21 match patch

The first official Hellas Verona FC jersey for the 2020/2021 season, prepared for Federico Ceccherini, is a piece of absolute rarity and uniqueness in the landscape of Italian football collecting. Made by Macron, the Scaligeri club's technical sponsor, this blue home kit with yellow inserts features the characteristic geometric triangle design of the 2020/2021 season. On the chest, the Winelivery and Gruppo Sinergy logos stand out as main and second sponsors, while the Serie A TIM "2020-2021" patch on the left sleeve certifies Italy's top league. Next to it is the "KEEP RACISM OUT" patch, the Lega Serie A's anti-racism campaign. The internal collar label reads "#TifiAMOHELLAS", the Scaligeri fans' slogan for that season. The extraordinary element of this item is the match patch printed directly on the front: "HELLAS VERONA FC vs ATALANTA BC / 21 MARZO 2021" — a detail that attributes to this jersey the specific date and match for which it was prepared, elevating it to a historical document of a specific Serie A match day. The back is personalized with the name CECCHERINI and the number 17.

The player: Federico Ceccherini

Federico Ceccherini (Livorno, May 11, 1992) is an Italian central defender who came up through the Livorno youth ranks, a club with which he made his Serie B debut before building a solid career in both Serie A and B with Cesena, Crotone, Frosinone, Ternana, and Fiorentina. On October 5, 2020, he was loaned from Fiorentina to Hellas Verona, where he made his debut on October 19, 2020, in the home match against Genoa. With the yellow and blue Scaligeri, he became a key player in Ivan Juric's three-man defensive line, making a total of 84 appearances in the yellow and blue jersey. In the Hellas Verona vs Atalanta match on March 21, 2021 — the match explicitly indicated by the match patch on this jersey — Ceccherini took the field and gave post-match statements, confirming his presence in that specific league game. A defender with great personality and consistency, who contributed to making Hellas Verona 2020/21 one of the surprise teams of that Serie A season.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit prepared specifically for a certain player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version in 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 team supply. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. When a Player Issued jersey bears a match patch with a specific date and opponent — as in this case — its collector's value increases further, as it precisely documents the match for which it was prepared.
