Juventus Home Jersey 2016/17 – Sami Khedira – No. 6 – Player Issued – Adidas – Supercoppa TIM Doha 2016

Sami Khedira's Player Issued Jersey: TIM Supercoppa Final in Doha 2016

Juventus' first official jersey for the 2016/2017 season in its Player Issued version is a relic of extraordinary rarity and historical precision. Made by Adidas in China in the Adizero format — the technical match version exclusively reserved for the first team squad — this kit features the tricolor scudetto and the Juventus crest on the chest, in the version prior to the 2017 redesign, with four golden stars. On the left side of the chest is the official Supercoppa TIM patch; on the right sleeve, the patch dedicated to the specific edition: Supercoppa TIM — Doha 2016, with the inscription in Arabic. This detail is the decisive collecting marker: the jersey was specifically prepared for the final on December 23, 2016, played at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha, Qatar. The back features the name KHEDIRA and the number 6. The size is 9 on the Adidas Authentic scale, equivalent to a 3XL in standard European numbering. Produced in October 2016, as confirmed by the inner sleeve tag, it is one of the most historically contextualized jerseys a collector can find on the market.

The Player: Sami Khedira

Sami Khedira (Stuttgart, April 4, 1987) is one of the most complete and successful German midfielders of his generation. Son of a Tunisian father and a German mother, he built a top-level career through the biggest European clubs: VfB Stuttgart, Real Madrid, and Juventus, before finishing at Hertha Berlin and Besiktas. With Germany, he won the World Cup in 2014 in Brazil, one of the protagonists of Löw's team that overwhelmed Argentina 7-1 in the semi-final and lifted the trophy in the final. With Juventus, where he played from 2015 to 2019, he won four Scudetti and one Coppa Italia. The TIM Supercoppa final in Doha on December 23, 2016 — the one this jersey is from — was one of the most intense moments of his black and white adventure: fielded as a starter by Allegri in the midfield three with Marchisio and Sturaro, Khedira played the entire match against Milan, which ended 1-1 after extra time. In the subsequent penalty shootout, he converted his penalty precisely, sending Donnarumma the wrong way. However, Juventus lost the final 4-5 on penalties. A stinging defeat, which makes this jersey an even more significant sports document.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit specifically prepared for a particular player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version due to a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, match-grade cut and materials, and exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. In the case of Adidas Adizero jerseys, the distinction is clear: high-performance technical fabric ClimaCool, ergonomic match cut, internal label with numerical size scale from 1 to 9, official competition patches applied directly by the federation or club. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of extremely high historical and commercial value, often impossible to find on the market years after its production.
