AS Roma Home Shirt 2005/06 – Christian Panucci – No.2 – Player Issued – Diadora – Serie A – Vintage

Christian Panucci's Player Issued Shirt: a Vintage Relic from Spalletti's Roma

The first official AS Roma home shirt for the 2005/2006 season in a Player Issued version is a piece of Giallorossi history with authentic charm and undeniable rarity. The dark burgundy kit by Diadora — with the MAZDA sponsor in white at the center of the chest, the historic AS Roma crest embroidered on the right side, and the Diadora logo embroidered in white above it — is the kit from Luciano Spalletti's first season on the Giallorossi bench, inaugurating one of Roma's most exciting technical cycles of the 2000s. Made in Portugal from 100% Polyamide — a high-performance technical material typical of professional match kits from the Diadora era — this shirt features the finishes and construction quality reserved exclusively for the team supply, unmistakably different from the store version. The back bears the name PANUCCI and the number 2 in white on a burgundy background, the number of the Roman right-back who was a cornerstone of the Giallorossi defense that season. The shirt is preserved in Excellent vintage condition, with vivid colors and perfectly intact materials despite the twenty years that have passed since its production.

The Player: Christian Panucci

Christian Panucci (Savona, July 12, 1973) is one of the most elegant and technically gifted right-backs in the history of Italian football in the 1990s and 2000s. After starting his career at Sampdoria and Genoa, he played in Serie A and major European leagues with Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Monaco, and Roma, winning prestigious international trophies. With Roma — a club he played for in two distinct periods — he experienced the years of the third Scudetto in 2000/01 and the great European epic of those years, returning in the 2004/05 season and staying until 2008. In the 2005/06 season, he was a regular starter in Luciano Spalletti's defense, contributing with his technical skills and international experience to the reconstruction of the Giallorossi's winning cycle. With the Italian national team, he won the World Cup in 2006, capping off a career of the highest European level.
