Cesena Home Shirt 2010/11 – Maximiliano Pellegrino – No.3 – Player Issued – Adidas – Serie A – Size XL

Maximiliano Pellegrino's Player Issued Shirt: Cesena's 2010/11 First Kit in Formotion Version

Cesena's official first kit for the 2010/2011 season in the Player Issued version is an authentic relic from one of the most exciting seasons in the recent history of the Sea Horses. Made in Thailand by adidas with Formotion technology — exclusively reserved for team supply and not available in commercial versions for fans — the kit features Cesena's classic black and white design with the three adidas stripes on the shoulders, a black crew-neck collar, and the clearly visible yellow TechnoGym sponsor in the center of the chest. The official Sea Horse emblem is on the right chest. The Serie A TIM patch is applied to the sleeve. ClimaCool technology ensured maximum breathability for players during matches. The internal label indicates Made in Thailand, 100% Polyester, size XL. The back bears the name PELLEGRINO and the number 3 in black flock. The condition is Good: the piece has a stain on the back attributed to the passage of time and storage conditions.

The Player: Maximiliano Pellegrino

Maximiliano Pellegrino (Leones, January 26, 1980) is a former Argentine defender who grew up playing football at Vélez Sársfield, where he played for eight seasons, earning the captain's armband and winning the Torneo Clausura 2005. He is the younger brother of Mauricio Pellegrino, a former Argentine national team and Valencia CF defender. In 2007, he moved to Europe, signing with Atalanta, a club he remained with until 2010. On June 24, 2010, he was loaned to Cesena, who had just been promoted to Serie A after nineteen years of absence from the top Italian league. He made his debut in the black and white shirt on August 28, 2010, at the Olimpico against Roma (0-0) and quickly became a mainstay of the Romagna defense, making a total of 31 appearances between the league and Coppa Italia in a single, intense season in black and white. His experience in Cesena concluded with survival secured in the penultimate round of the league — one of the most surprising results of that Serie A. Pellegrino's number 3 shirt authentically tells the story of that extraordinary Cesena team.

What is a Player Issued Shirt?

A Player Issued shirt is a kit prepared specifically for a particular player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version by a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, match-grade cut and materials, exclusive technologies such as adidas' Formotion — reserved for team supply — internal details and professional-level stitching not available in store versions. It is hierarchically superior to the commercial version for fans and only inferior to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of extremely high historical and technical value, often impossible to find on the market years after its production.
