Avellino Home Shirt 1995/96 – Vintage – Diadora – Serie B – Lace-Up Collar

The 1995/96 Avellino Home shirt: the green Diadora with the lace-up collar

The first U.S. Avellino shirt for the 1995/1996 season is unanimously remembered as one of the most beautiful in the history of the Irpinia wolves. Made by Diadora in the store version intended for the retail market, it features the classic Avellino green embellished with a refined jacquard fabric with a tone-on-tone geometric pattern, visible against the light on the entire body of the shirt. The most distinctive element is the white shirt collar bordered in green, closed by a white crossed cord reminiscent of football of yesteryear. The raglan shoulders are decorated with an elaborate white patterned insert with the repeated lettering of the technical sponsor. On the heart side, the U.S. Avellino 1912 crest with the wolf is sewn, while the DIADORA lettering stands out in white on the opposite side. The conditions are Very Good: the Diadora lettering on the front shows slight wear, as visible in the photo, nothing significant considering the thirty years since production. Colors and fabrics remain perfectly intact.

Avellino's 1995/96 season

The 1995/1996 season marks Avellino's return to Serie B after several seasons spent in Serie C1, and coincides with the beginning of Diadora's technical supply, which was to last until 1997. It is a championship that Irpinia fans remember with particular affection, also for the kit: the green shirt with laces at the neck immediately became a recognizable symbol, and for the first time in the club's history, the match shirts bore the players' names on the back. The Partenio of those years was a warm and passionate place, capable of providing the team with support rare in the Serie B panorama. This is why the 1995/96 shirt remains one of the most sought-after pieces by green-and-white collectors, a kit that embodies the identity and pride of an entire fan base.

What is an original Vintage Store shirt?

An original Vintage Store shirt is a kit produced at least twenty years ago by the club's official technical sponsor and intended for the retail market, i.e., for sale to the public and fans, distinct from the supply reserved for the team. It differs from modern replicas and commemorative re-editions by verifiable elements: the internal labels of the time with the logos and claims in use in those years, the type of fabric and stitching typical of the production period, graphic details consistent with the official kit of the season. The collectible value grows over time depending on the rarity of the item and its state of preservation.
