The design is unmistakable: bright pink base, black side stripe with gold profiling, black polo collar with gold applications and the inscription "Rosa come il dolce, nero come l'amaro, dal 1907 i nostri colori" (Pink like the sweet, black like the bitter, since 1907 our colors) inside the collar. On the front, there is a sublimated embossed eagle, the embroidered Joma logo, and the Serie A TIM patch on the left sleeve. On the chest, there is the yellow charity ribbon for the campaign against violence against women, distinctive of the 2014/15 season. The back is personalized with the name SORRENTINO and the number 70 - a pre-season supply number, as is customary for jerseys prepared before the official assignment of league numbers. The jersey is made in China, as stated on the internal label, and is in size L (MEX G / CEE L / USA L). A professional supply item of extremely high collectible value.

The player: Stefano Sorrentino

Stefano Sorrentino (Cava de' Tirreni, March 28, 1979) is one of the most representative Italian goalkeepers of his generation, an absolute protagonist of Serie A football for over a decade. Son of an artist - his father Roberto was also a goalkeeper - Sorrentino built his career with tenacity, personality, and a superb technique in saving penalties, becoming a recognized specialist throughout Italy. After starting in the youth teams of Lazio and Juventus and experiences with Torino, AEK Athens, and Recreativo Huelva - the oldest Spanish club in Europe, where he was the first Italian to play - he arrived at Chievo Verona, with whom he played memorable seasons in Serie A. In January 2013, he moved to Palermo, contributing first to promotion to Serie B and then to the return to Serie A with the title of champions of the 2013/14 cadet tournament. In the 2014/15 season, the one of this jersey, Sorrentino was not only an undisputed starter in goal for the Rosanero but also the team captain - a role officially entrusted to him from the 26th matchday by decision of the club and the locker room. A season of great competitive intensity, crowned by decisive saves and the salvation achieved by the Sicilians in the top Italian league.

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 due to a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, personalization with the player's name and number, match cut and materials, exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of very high historical and commercial value, often impossible to find on the market years after its production.
