AC Siena Home Jersey 2004/05 – Francesco Colonnese – No.5 – Player Issued – Match Worn – Serie A

Francesco Colonnese's Player Issued Vintage Jersey: Siena's First Kit 2004/05

The first AC Siena jersey for the 2004/2005 season in its Player Issued version is a rare and historically significant relic of vintage Italian football. The characteristic black and white vertical stripe design by Mass — with its V-neck, the Siena club crest on the right chest, and the Monte Paschi Banca Dal 1472 sponsor prominently displayed in the center front — immediately brings to mind one of the most exciting periods in the history of AC Siena, a historic club from the Tuscan city that played in the top Italian league in the 2004/2005 season. The official Lega Calcio Serie A TIM patch sewn on the left sleeve — in the round format typical of that historical period — certifies the competition and gives the piece an immediately recognizable visual authenticity for expert collectors. The back is personalized with the surname Colonnese and the number 5. The jersey is in Excellent condition, with colors and fabrics perfectly intact more than twenty years after its production. Size L.

The Player: Francesco Colonnese

Francesco Colonnese (Naples, February 10, 1972) is an Italian central defender who played nearly twenty years of professional football with consistency, solidity, and an imposing physical presence. Raised in the Naples youth system, he built a long and respected career playing for important Italian clubs, including Inter, Lazio, and Udinese, before joining AC Siena where he wore the number 5 in the 2004/2005 Serie A season. He made significant appearances for the Italian national team, participating in high-level international competitions. His experience and leadership made him a valued defensive reference in every club he played for. His number 5 jersey with Siena's first black and white kit is the sporting document of a Serie A season for a professional who wrote important pages in Italian football of the nineties and noughties.

What is a Player Issued Jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit prepared specifically for a particular player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version by a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, personalization with the player's name and number according to team supply standards, match cut and materials, exclusive technical details not present in versions intended for fans. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. When it comes to a vintage item — produced more than twenty years ago — its collector's value further increases, as its availability on the market becomes increasingly rare over time.
