ChievoVerona Away Shirt 2018/19 – Sergej Grubac – No. 25 – Player Issued – Givova – Serie A

Sergej Grubac's Player Issued Shirt: Chievo Verona's Second Kit in Serie A 2018/19

The official AC ChievoVerona away shirt for the 2018/2019 season in its Player Issued version is a rare collector's item, telling one of the final chapters in the long history of the Verona-based club in top-tier Italian professional football. The kit, made by technical sponsor Givova on a navy blue base with a distinctive yellow vertical stripe on the front and yellow cuffs, features the construction qualities of the team's supply: technical fabric in 100% polyester, professional stitching, and exclusive details reserved for players. The front features the Mulish logo as the main sponsor and the Coati logo as the secondary sponsor, with the Chievo emblem on the right chest and the Givova logo on the left. The official "Serie A TIM 2018-2019" patch is applied to the left sleeve; the "Omnes Insani Veronenses" heraldic emblem, an identifying and distinctive detail of the Veronese club, stands out on the right sleeve. The back bears the surname GRUBAC and the number 25 in white characters, with the Eurobet sponsor at the bottom. The shirt is preserved in Excellent condition, with intact fabric and colors.

The player: Sergej Grubac

Sergej Grubac (Belgrade, May 29, 2000) is a Montenegrin striker with an imposing physique — 193 cm and 80 kg — who grew up playing football in Cyprus in the youth ranks of APOEL Nicosia, where he debuted in the Cypriot first division at just 17 years old. His talent attracted the attention of Italian scouts, leading him to sign a five-year contract with ChievoVerona in Serie A in July 2018. Son of Vanja Grubac, former Hamburger SV striker in the 1990s, Sergej has a solid family football legacy and a natural predisposition for the center-forward role. With Chievo, he spent three seasons — from 2018 to 2021 — making appearances in both Serie A and Serie B, before the Veronese club was excluded from the league in the summer of 2021 due to debts. He has collected over 25 appearances for Montenegro's youth national teams, scoring 11 goals between the Under 17 and Under 19 teams, establishing himself as one of the most interesting talents in Montenegrin football of his generation. This number 25 shirt represents an authentic document of his debut in top-tier Italian football.

What is a Player Issued shirt?

A Player Issued shirt 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 indicating match size, exclusive cut and technical materials reserved for team supply, and superior construction details compared to the replica intended for fans. It is hierarchically superior to the store 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 original production.
