Juventus Home Jersey 2017/18 – Andrea Barzagli – N.15 – Player Issued – Adidas – "Ciao Davide" Astori Patch – COA Included

Barzagli's Juventus 2017/18 Player Issued Jersey with the "Ciao Davide" patch: a unique relic in Italian football history

There are football jerseys that go beyond being a simple sports relic and become a historical document of an unrepeatable moment. This is one of them. The first Juventus jersey for the 2017/2018 season — Player Issued version, size 9 — features the commemorative "Ciao Davide" patch on the sleeve, applied to all Serie A TIM kits on matchday 28, March 11, 2018, in homage to Davide Astori, Fiorentina captain who tragically passed away on March 4, 2018. A collective and moving gesture that united all of Italian football in an embrace without colors or rivalries. The Adidas black and white design — wide stripes inspired by the 1940s kits, mandarin collar with buttons, new "J" logo, black back with nameset — is among the most iconic of the modern black and white era. On the front are the tricolor Scudetto, the Coppa Italia, and the Jeep sponsor; on the back, the BARZAGLI 15 nameset with Cygames sponsor and the player's original signature. Excellent condition.

The player: Andrea Barzagli

Andrea Barzagli (Fiesole, May 8, 1981) is one of the strongest and most decorated defenders in recent Italian football history. A pillar of Juventus from 2011 to 2019, he won eight consecutive Scudetti, four Coppa Italia titles, and reached two UEFA Champions League finals. With the Italian national team, he was a World Champion in 2006 in Germany, becoming an integral part of that historic defense — with Buffon, Cannavaro, Materazzi, and Zambrotta — which wrote one of the most glorious pages in Italian football. In the 2017/18 season with Juventus, Barzagli was a cornerstone of the BBC — the legendary defensive line composed of him, Bonucci, and Chiellini — synonymous with solidity, elegance, and international experience. His signature on this special jersey, already extraordinary for the commemorative patch it bears, makes it a piece of very high collectible and sentimental value.

What is an original signed jersey?

An original signed jersey is a unique piece where the player's signature has been directly applied to the fabric in a certified presence, without intermediaries. It clearly differs from printed reproductions due to the natural pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the fabric, and the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. In the case of this item, the collectible value is amplified by the inherent rarity of the jersey itself: a Player Issue from a single match, with a commemorative patch that was never commercially produced and can never be replicated. The MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) is included for free, as is the COA from Associazione Autografia.
