Made by Onze with the Gicos commercial sponsor emblazoned on the chest, the jersey features a white base with maroon collar, cuffs, and side inserts, the Calabrian club's historic color. The official Reggina crest and the institutional Regione Calabria patch are embroidered on the chest, while the official Lega Calcio Serie A TIM patch for the season is applied to the right sleeve. The professional finishes and exclusive technical details, absent in the commercial version intended for fans, attest to the authenticity of this item. The back is personalized with the name SESTU and the number 77, assigned to the midfielder in his only season on loan to Reggina. A piece preserved in Excellent condition, with intact colors and fabrics despite the years since its production.

The player: Alessio Sestu

Alessio Sestu, born in Rome on September 29, 1983, is an Italian midfielder who built his career through numerous professional football clubs, from Treviso to Cittadella, from Salernitana to Avellino. In August 2008, after a good season in Serie B with the Irpinia white and green jersey, he was loaned to Reggina, with whom he made his Serie A debut on September 14, 2008, against Torino. He wore the number 77 jersey in what would prove to be Reggina's last season in the top league, which ended with relegation to Serie B after seven consecutive years among the top professionals. He would then continue his career with Vicenza, Bari, Siena, and Chievo Verona, accumulating several hundred appearances in Italian professional championships. This jersey therefore represents the sporting document of a solid midfielder, protagonist of a historic and melancholic season for the maroon colors.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit prepared specifically for a certain 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 match-cut and materials, exclusive technical details reserved for the team's supply. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of high historical and commercial value, often difficult to find almost twenty years after its production.
