Gamberini's Player Issued Jersey: The number 15 of the Italian National Team at UEFA Euro 2008

The official home jersey of the Italian National Team for the 2007/2008 season in a Player Issued version is a highly prized Azzurri relic, directly linked to one of the most intense European Championships in the recent history of the Azzurri. The deep blue signed by Puma with iconic gold details — on the front number, on the Puma logo, on the FIGC crest — represents one of the most elegant kits in the long tradition of the Azzurri jersey. On the front, the number 15 in gold, on the back the "gamberini" nameset in the official golden font. The UEFA Euro 2008 patch is applied on the left sleeve, direct evidence of participation in the European tournament played in Austria and Switzerland in the summer of 2008. Puma Made in Thailand label, size XL. Excellent condition: an authentic and valuable piece for collectors of the Azzurri jersey.

The player: Alessandro Gamberini

Alessandro Gamberini (Bologna, August 27, 1981) is an Italian central defender who built his career mainly with Fiorentina, where he played from 2005 to 2012, becoming one of the pillars of the Viola defense. Physically imposing, skilled in aerial play and marking, he made almost 200 appearances in Serie A with the Lilies. With the Italian National Team, he collected 8 caps, including the call-up to UEFA Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland — called up as an emergency replacement for captain Fabio Cannavaro, who was injured in training a few days before the start of the tournament. That call-up represents the highest moment of his Azzurri career and makes this Player Issued number 15 jersey a piece directly linked to one of the most intense European Championships in the history of the Italian National Team.

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 by a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, original competitive patches sewn by the federation, competition cut and materials reserved for team supply. The Player Issued version is hierarchically superior to the store jersey available to the public and inferior only to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of great historical and commercial value, often difficult to find years after its production, as it is not intended for ordinary distribution.
