Enzo Maresca's Player Issued Jersey: Juventus' 2003/04 Fastweb Pink

The second official Juventus jersey for the 2003/2004 season in its Player Issued version is one of the most iconic and sought-after vintage pieces of Italian football from the early 2000s. Produced by Nike in Portugal — the first ever Nike kit for Juventus — it features long sleeves, characteristic of match-prepared kits. The color is powder pink with a tone-on-tone houndstooth pattern, made famous by this jersey which uniquely and unforgettably combined elegance and distinctiveness. The collar and cuffs are black. On the chest are the black Nike swoosh logo, the historic Juventus emblem with the bull and two golden stars, and the tricolor Scudetto. In the center is a black band with the yellow Fastweb sponsor. On the back, the name MARESCA and the number 14. On the right sleeve is the official Lega Calcio patch — the black and white ball with tricolor brushstrokes — in the version used until the 2003/04 season. The size is L, corresponding to Size L / Height 183 in Nike's classification of the time. An item that is well over twenty years old and is fully classified as a rare Vintage piece.

The Player: Enzo Maresca

Enzo Maresca (Pontecagnano Faiano, February 10, 1980) is one of the most interesting Italian midfielders of his generation, capable of a high-level playing career and an even more brilliant coaching career. Having developed between Cagliari and West Bromwich Albion, he joined Juventus in 2000 for 10 billion lire. After loans to Bologna and a standout season at Piacenza with 9 goals in 31 appearances, he returned to Turin for the 2003/04 season: the season of this jersey, his most consistent year in black and white, with 29 appearances and 4 goals across Serie A, Coppa Italia, and the Champions League. Gifted with personality, refined technique, and vision, he then became known to the wider European public with Sevilla, where he won two consecutive UEFA Cups, scoring a brace in the 2006 final against Middlesbrough and being named Man of the Match. As a coach, he has had an exceptional growth trajectory: assistant to Guardiola at Manchester City during the historic treble season of 2022/23, then promoted with Leicester City to the Premier League, and finally landed on the Chelsea bench. His status as a top-level international coach further amplifies the collectible value of this Player Issued jersey, a unique direct testament to his most intense season in black and white.

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, match-grade cut and materials, exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. In the case of Nike jerseys from the 2003/04 era, the differences from the replica version are clear: perforated Dri-FIT technical fabric, breathable mesh interiors, officially applied Lega Calcio patches, and availability in long-sleeved versions exclusively for players. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. Over twenty years after its production, a numbered and named Player Issued item in well-preserved condition is a piece of extremely high historical and collectible value, impossible to find on the market with such rarity.
