SS Lazio Home Jersey 2014/15 – Dušan Basta – N.8 – Player Issued – Macron – TIM Cup

Dušan Basta's Player Issued jersey: Lazio's white and sky blue in the 2014/15 TIM Cup

The first official SS Lazio jersey for the 2014/2015 season in Player Issued version is a rare and significant example of Roman football from that era. Made by Macron – the white and sky blue technical sponsor of those years – it features the classic design with vertical white and sky blue stripes, a V-neck collar with a sky blue trim, and the SS Lazio eagle emblem embroidered on the right chest. A distinctive and collector-relevant feature is the absence of any sponsor on the chest: Lazio did not have a main sponsor that season, making each match jersey an essential and immediately recognizable item. On the left sleeve is the official TIM Cup patch in the graphic version with red wavy bars – the TIM logo of the time – direct evidence of Lazio's participation in the 2014/15 Coppa Italia. The back features the name BASTA and the number 8, with official white characters and a dark blue shadow. On the back tab of the collar, the embossed writing "S.S. LAZIO 1900". The size is L in Macron's classification (H. 178-183 cm), corresponding to the standard match size for an athlete of average height.

The player: Dušan Basta

Dušan Basta (Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, August 18, 1984) is one of the most complete and combative right-backs of his generation in Italian football. Arriving at Lazio in 2011 after experiences with Udinese and Catania, he quickly established himself as one of Serie A's most reliable defensive wide players, capable of ensuring defensive solidity and offensive contribution with runs and crosses. In the 2014/15 season, he was an integral part of the white and sky blue team led by Stefano Pioli, who had an extraordinary run in the Coppa Italia: they eliminated Napoli in the semi-finals and qualified for the final at the Olimpico against Juventus, played on May 20, 2015. Lazio lost 2-1 in extra time, with the decisive goal scored by Alessandro Matri, but that season remains one of the most intense moments in the recent history of the Roman club. Basta, the starting right-back of that team, was a protagonist of the journey that led Lazio to the final act of the competition. This Player Issued jersey is a direct document of that white and sky blue run in the TIM Cup.

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, match-specific cut and materials, exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. In the case of Macron match jerseys, the differences from the replica version are clear: lightweight and breathable technical fabric, internal label with size and height indication in centimeters, official TIM Cup patches applied directly. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of very high historical and commercial value, often impossible to find on the market years after its production.
