Sampdoria Away Shirt 2001/02 – Guglielmo Stendardo – Player Issued – Asics – Serie B Championship

Guglielmo Stendardo's Player Issued Jersey: Sampdoria Away in the 2001/02 Serie B Season

Sampdoria's second kit for the 2001/2002 season, a Player Issued version prepared for Guglielmo Stendardo, is a rare relic of early 2000s Italian football. Made in Italy by Asics — then the blucerchiato technical sponsor — with long sleeves and professional team-issue construction, it features the official Sampdoria crest on the left chest, the Grafoplast Wiremarkets sponsor clearly visible in the center, and the Lega Calcio patch on the sleeve. Size XL, Good condition: the white fabric shows haloing and small storage stains concentrated on the lower part and back, typical of the aging of white technical materials more than twenty years after production. The colors and stitching are intact, and the garment's structure is perfectly preserved.

The Player: Guglielmo Stendardo

Guglielmo Stendardo (Naples, May 6, 1981) is an Italian central defender who had a long career in Italian leagues with great solidity and professionalism. Having grown up in Sampdoria's youth academy, he spent his formative years in Serie B with the blucerchiato club, building the foundations of a career that would lead him to play in Serie A with clubs such as Lazio, Atalanta, and Bari. Also known off the field for his university education and cultural involvement, he represented a model of a complete athlete in Italian football during the 2000s. This Player Issued jersey is one of the rarest blucerchiato memorabilia from that season, prepared for one of Sampdoria's rising young defenders at the time.

What is a Player Issued Jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit specifically prepared for a particular footballer but not necessarily used 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, and construction details reserved exclusively for team supplies. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and second only to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of very high historical value, often impossible to find on the market years after its production. Its rarity further increases when it is a long-sleeved away jersey, a type produced in very limited numbers compared to standard versions.
