Parma Calcio Home Jersey 2023/2024 – Hernani Jr. – N.27 – Player Issued – Puma – Serie BKT

Hernani Jr.'s Player Issued Jersey: Parma's Promotion to Serie A

The first official Parma Calcio jersey for the 2023/2024 season in its Player Issued version is a relic that tells one of the most important stories in the recent history of the ducal club. Made by Puma, it features the traditional black cross on a white background, enriched with yellow and blue details on the collar, a direct tribute to the historic Crociata Jersey designed in 1913 by Ugo Betti and Torquato Rossini. The technical finishes and exclusive details reserved for team supply—absent in commercial stadium versions—testify to the professional authenticity of this item, produced in Turkey. The back is customized with the number 27, worn by Hernani Jr. during the 2023/2024 season, the one in which Parma won the Serie BKT championship and returned to Serie A after a three-year absence. The Prometeon sponsor is prominently displayed on the front, at the center of the cross, while the official Serie BKT patch is applied to the sleeve. A piece preserved in Excellent condition, with intact colors and fabrics.

The Player: Hernani Jr.

Hernani Azevedo Júnior, simply known as Hernani Jr. (São Gonçalo do Sapucaí, Brazil, March 27, 1994), is a Brazilian midfielder who grew up in the Atlético Paranaense youth sector. After experiences at Joinville and his debut in the Brazilian Série A, in 2016 he moved to Zenit Saint Petersburg, with whom he won the Russian championship, interspersed with a loan spell at Saint-Étienne in Ligue 1. In July 2019, he joined Parma, where he quickly became a cornerstone of the Gialloblù midfield, wearing the number 27 jersey. He experienced both the Serie A years and the subsequent relegation to Serie B with the team, always remaining a technical and personal reference for the locker room. In the 2023/2024 season, he was among the protagonists of Parma's championship victory, which saw them return to Serie A after three years, confirming himself as one of the most versatile and reliable midfielders in the league.

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 exclusive team supply indications, match-grade cut and materials, technical details reserved for the club and not available in stores. 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, in this case linked to a season that marked Parma's return to Serie A.
