Juventus Goalkeeper Jersey 2016/17 – Neto – N.25 – Player Issued – Adidas – TIM Cup Final Rome 2017

Neto's Player Issued Goalkeeper Jersey: the night of the Coppa Italia final in Rome

The official Juventus goalkeeper jersey for the 2016/2017 season in its Player Issued version is an item of absolute rarity and exceptional historical context. Made by Adidas in Vietnam in the Authentic format reserved exclusively for the first team squad, it features the characteristic fluorescent green with a tone-on-tone diamond graphic pattern on the shoulders and sides, three black side stripes, and the Jeep sponsor in black on the center of the chest. On the left chest is the historical Juventus crest with the bull and three golden stars, and the tricolor Scudetto. On the left sleeve is the Serie A TIM patch, and on the right sleeve is the TIM Cup patch. On the right side of the body is the exclusive match patch: "FINALE ROMA — TIM CUP 2017" — the textile document that unequivocally places this kit at the final on May 17, 2017, at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The back bears the name NETO and the number 25. The size is 8 in the Adidas Authentic scale, the maximum available, equivalent to a 4XL in standard European sizing. Produced in March 2016, this is the jersey prepared for Neto as the starting goalkeeper on that historic night.

The player: Neto

Neto, full name Norberto Murara Neto (Bagé, Brazil, July 19, 1989), is one of the most complete Brazilian goalkeepers of his generation. After starting his career in Brazil with Coritiba, he moved to Italy with Fiorentina in 2011, where he quickly established himself as one of Serie A's most reliable goalkeepers, earning a starting position and the admiration of the Viola fans. In 2015, he moved to Juventus, where he served as second-choice goalkeeper behind Gigi Buffon in the 2015/16 season, before becoming the primary goalkeeper for the Coppa Italia in the 2016/17 season. The final on May 17, 2017, against Lazio at the Olimpico in Rome, was the highlight of his Bianconeri adventure: Allegri started him, with Buffon on the bench, and Neto responded with a top-level performance, making two decisive saves on Felipe Anderson and Immobile in the second half that allowed Juventus to maintain their lead and win the Coppa Italia 2-0 with goals from Dani Alves and Bonucci. A collective achievement that secured the club's twelfth title in its history. After Juventus, Neto moved to Valencia and then Barcelona, confirming his place at the highest levels of European football.

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-grade cut and materials, exclusive technical details reserved for team supplies. In the case of Adidas Authentic jerseys, the distinction is immediate: high-performance technical fabric, internal label with numeric size scale from 1 to 8, official competition patches applied directly by the federation or club. The presence of the "FINALE ROMA — TIM CUP 2017" patch indicates that this kit was specifically prepared for that match. 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.
