AC Siena Home Jersey 2005/06 – Francesco Cozza – N.35 – Vintage – Mass – Serie A TIM

Francesco Cozza's vintage jersey: a rare Siena relic from the 2005/06 Serie A season

The first official AC Siena jersey for the 2005/2006 season in its vintage version is an authentic and particularly rare relic of Italian football from that era. Produced by Mass, the technical sponsor of the Sienese club from that season onwards, it features the classic black and white vertical stripe design that recalls the historic colors of the city of Siena. On the chest is the logo of Monte dei Paschi — "Banca dal 1472" — the club's sponsor since the 2001/02 season, a partnership that accompanied the most brilliant years of Siena's sporting history. The official "Lega Calcio Serie A TIM" patch on the left sleeve certifies Italy's top league and dates the jersey with absolute precision to the 2005/2006 season. On the back, the name COZZA and the number 35: the jersey was prepared for Francesco Cozza as part of the club's official supply, during the period when the Calabrian midfielder was co-owned by Siena. A hard-to-find item that tells the story of a season and a club now far from the top league but unforgettable in the landscape of Italian football in the 2000s.

The player: Francesco Cozza

Francesco Cozza, known as Ciccio (Cariati, January 19, 1974), is a former Italian midfielder and attacking midfielder, best known for his long and passionate connection with Reggina, a club where he served as captain and symbol for over a decade. He grew up in Reggina's youth system, made his professional debut with AC Milan, and subsequently wore the jerseys of Reggiana, Vicenza, Cagliari, and Lecce before returning to Reggio Calabria where he became an idol for the Amaranto fans. In January 2005, acquired by Siena on a co-ownership deal, he represented a quality and experienced addition to the Tuscan club in Serie A. A classy midfielder, endowed with good game vision and a knack for scoring goals, he spent several years in Serie A with high-profile clubs. After ending his playing career in 2010, he began a coaching career. His number 35 Siena jersey is an authentic document of one of the lesser-known periods of his career, destined for collectors who are most interested in the history of Italian football of those years.

What is a vintage jersey?

A vintage jersey is an official playing kit produced more than twenty years ago, which over time has acquired collectible value exceeding its original function. It differs from the modern version in the materials of the era, the printing and embroidery techniques typical of the period, the graphic details, and the sponsors that precisely capture a specific historical moment in Italian and international football. Each vintage jersey is an authentic and unrepeatable document: sponsors, technical brand, and competition patches date it with absolute certainty, making it unique in its kind. For collectors, it represents a tangible piece of history, often unobtainable on the market decades after its production.
