The player: Gabriel Batistuta

Gabriel Batistuta (Avellaneda, February 1, 1969) is one of the greatest center-forwards in football history. With Fiorentina, from 1991 to 2000, he scored 152 goals in Serie A, becoming the all-time leading scorer for the Viola in the league. In the summer of 2000, he moved to Roma, and in his first season, with the number 18 on his back, he scored 20 goals, leading the Giallorossi to the Scudetto, the only one of his Italian career. With Argentina, he scored 54 goals in 78 appearances and won two Copa América titles.

What is an original vintage jersey?

An original vintage jersey is an official kit produced by the technical sponsor at least twenty years ago and intended for public sale through official channels. It is identified by materials, logos, and labels faithful to the era: in this case, the Kappa size label, the washing label with the "Made in Italy" wording and the factory code, the Kappa band on the collar, and the embroidered crest. More than twenty-five years after their production, these examples can only be found on the collector's market.
