SSC Napoli Home Shirt 2020/21 – Andrea Petagna – No.37 – Player Issued – Kappa – Serie A

Andrea Petagna's Player Issued jersey: the first season in blue for a true striker

The first official SSC Napoli jersey for the 2020/2021 season in its Player Issued version is an authentic collector's item linked to the first year in blue of one of the most appreciated Italian strikers of his generation. Made by Kappa with "Kombat Pro" technology and "Hidroway" protection — exclusive features of the professional match version — it features the traditional Neapolitan blue with dark blue profiles on the V-neck and cuffs, the iconic Kappa Omini logos on the shoulders and sleeves, the Lete sponsor in red on the front, MSC in white below, and the Kimbo logo in red on the back. The official Serie A TIM patch with the seasonal indication "2020 – 2021" is applied on the right sleeve, unequivocally confirming the season and the competitive purpose of the item. The tag sewn into the collar reads "Kappa XX Large / GARA": this latter indication — exclusive to professional supply — clearly distinguishes this item from any commercial version intended for fans. The back is personalized with the surname "Petagna" and the number 37, with mini SSCN crests on the sides. Size XXL, consistent with the player's physique (190 cm). This jersey documents Petagna's first season in the blue jersey: bought by Napoli in January 2020 and left on loan to SPAL until June, he made his debut with Napoli in September 2020, playing 36 matches in Serie A, Coppa Italia, Europa League, and Supercoppa Italiana.

The player: Andrea Petagna

Andrea Petagna (Trieste, June 30, 1995) is a physically strong Italian striker — 190 cm — capable of playing with his back to goal, holding up play, and creating space for his teammates with tactical intelligence. Having come through the AC Milan youth academy, with whom he made his Champions League debut in December 2012 at just 17, he built his career through a series of progressive stages: Atalanta, Spal — where in the 2018-19 season he achieved his best personal performance with 17 league goals — until joining Napoli in January 2020 for 16.5 million euros. Number 37 is his historic number, worn in almost all stages of his career. With Napoli in the 2020-21 season, he played 36 matches in all competitions, scoring 5 goals and establishing himself as a reliable reference striker in coach Gennaro Gattuso's rotations. He continuously wore the blue jersey until August 2022, when he moved on loan with an obligation to buy to Monza. He made his senior national team debut in March 2017 and participated in the 2017 Under-21 European Championship in Poland with the youth blue jersey.

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 by a series of precise technical characteristics: professional match fabrics and technologies, exclusive internal labels and details reserved for team supply, and an athletic cut different from the replica intended for fans. In the case of Kappa jerseys for Napoli, the word "GARA" in the collar tag — visible on this example — is the unequivocal indicator of the professional version: that wording does not appear on any commercial version. The presence of the official Serie A TIM patch with the seasonal year further elevates the historical documentation of the piece, certifying its intended use for the league. A Player Issued jersey is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of the highest value, often impossible to find on the market.
