1996/97 Lucchese Home Shirt – Simone Barone – No. 10 – Player Issued – Erreà – Serie B

Simone Barone's Player Issued jersey: a piece of Italian Serie B history

The first official Lucchese jersey for the 1996/1997 season in a Player Issued version is a rare and extraordinary relic of vintage Italian football. Carefully crafted in Italy by technical sponsor Erreà, it features exclusive finishes and technical details reserved solely for team supplies, invisible in the commercial versions intended for fans. The quality of the materials, the precision of the stitching, and the attention to internal details attest to the professional authenticity of this item. The back is personalized with the iconic number 10, worn by Simone Barone during his time in Serie B with Lucchese. A piece preserved in excellent superb vintage condition, with perfectly intact colors and fabrics despite nearly thirty years since its production.

The player: Simone Barone

Simone Barone (Turin, October 28, 1978) is an Italian midfielder who has spent over twenty years in professional football with tactical intelligence and great professionalism. After starting with Lucchese in Serie B, where he wore the number 10 with the natural ease of a prodigy, he embarked on a long and satisfying career across Italian championships. His sporting journey reached its peak on July 9, 2006, in Berlin, when he lifted the World Cup with the Italian National Team led by Marcello Lippi. A World Champion at 27, Barone represented the best of Italian football of that generation. His number 10 jersey with Lucchese is therefore not only a relic of a historic Serie B club, but also the sporting document of the early career of a future World Champion.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit prepared specifically for a specific 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 with the player's name and number, match-grade cut and materials, and exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. 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 production.
