Brescia Home Shirt 2001/02 – Roberto Baggio – No. 10 – Player Issued Long Sleeve – Garman – Serie A

Roberto Baggio's long-sleeved Player Issued shirt: the rarest variant of the 2001/02 Brescia kit

The first official Brescia Calcio jersey for the 2001/2002 season, in its long-sleeved Player Issued version, is one of the rarest and most sought-after pieces a collector can find on the Italian market. Made by Garman in Italy from 100% polyester — as certified by the original internal label — with the iconic design featuring a large white V on a blue front, the embroidered Banca Lombarda sponsor in the center, and the Brescia Calcio 1911 badge stitched on the left chest. The official Lega Calcio patch on the left sleeve precisely documents the reference season. The long-sleeved version is produced in significantly smaller quantities than the short-sleeved version: it is intended exclusively for team supply for matches played in adverse weather conditions, which makes it intrinsically rarer and more sought after by collectors. The back features the name BAGGIO and the number 10 in the exact match-issue setup, with an XL size consistent with the physical characteristics of the champion. The white cuffs show a natural chromatic alteration resulting from over twenty years since production, which gives the piece the characteristic charm of vintage shirts of this generation.

The Champion: Roberto Baggio

Roberto Baggio (Caldogno, February 18, 1967) is universally recognized as one of the greatest footballers in the history of Italian and world football. Nicknamed "the Divine Ponytail," he won the Ballon d'Or in 1993 and is among the most prolific scorers in Serie A history. A World Cup runner-up with the Italian national team at the USA 1994 World Cup, he wore the jerseys of the most iconic Italian football clubs during his career — Fiorentina, Juventus, Milan, Bologna, Inter — before concluding his Serie A career in Brescia, where he played from 2000 to 2004. With Brescia, he experienced four extraordinary seasons, becoming the absolute symbol of the Brescia team in Serie A and leading the club to results beyond expectations. The 2001/02 season was one of his best in the white and blue jersey, with Brescia finishing eighth in the league and qualifying for the Intertoto Cup. A legendary career that makes this long-sleeved number 10 jersey a sports document of exceptional historical and collectible value — much rarer than the short-sleeved version of the same kit.

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, customization with the player's name and number, match-grade cut and materials, exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. The long-sleeved version of a Player Issued jersey is hierarchically equivalent but statistically rarer than the short-sleeved version, as it is produced in smaller numbers for matches played in cold seasons. It is superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. For collectors, a long-sleeved Player Issued jersey of Roberto Baggio — one of the most beloved and collected players in the world — represents a piece of exceptional historical and commercial value, difficult to find on the market more than twenty years after its production.
