Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli - Italian Football League - Football jersey

SSC Napoli 1996/97 Lotto Goalkeeper Shirt – Professional / Team Issue Specification – Size XL Rare original SSC Napoli goalkeeper shirt from the 1996/97 Serie A season, manufactured under the Lotto technical sponsorship. This striking grey, black and yellow goalkeeper model is one of the most distinctive Napoli designs of the 1990s and is associated with the period of goalkeeper Giuseppe Taglialatela. The shirt displays several characteristics consistent with professional/team-supply football garments of the period: * Original Lotto label – size XL * Heavy technical goalkeeper construction * Distinctive quilted/diamond-pattern fabric * Reinforced and padded sleeve construction * Embroidered and separately applied SSC Napoli crest * Large Lotto branding incorporated into the collar * Original Lega Calcio 1946–1996 commemorative sleeve patch, embroidered and separately applied * Long sleeves with knitted cuffs * Complex multi-panel construction typical of 1990s goalkeeper shirts * Spectacular grey/black graphic design with yellow piping * Plain back, without player number The shirt comes from the period when Lotto supplied SSC Napoli’s technical equipment and differs substantially in construction from a standard modern supporter shirt. The manufacturing characteristics are compatible with the specialist Italian production used for high-level technical sportswear during this period. A possible connection with specialist manufacturers from Lotto’s Veneto production district, including the Fraccaro/GSG production environment, has been investigated; however, no definitive documentary evidence has been found to attribute this individual shirt to a specific subcontractor, and therefore no such attribution is claimed. The shirt is offered as an original period Lotto Napoli goalkeeper shirt with professional/team-specification characteristics. No claim of match use is made, as there is currently no documentary evidence linking this particular shirt to a specific match or player. A particularly attractive collector’s piece from 1990s Italian football, made even more desirable by the unusual goalkeeper design and the commemorative Lega Calcio 1946–1996 patch. Club: SSC Napoli Season: 1996/97 Manufacturer: Lotto Type: Goalkeeper shirt Specification: Professional / team-supply characteristics Size: XL Sleeves: Long sleeve / padded goalkeeper construction Competition: Serie A Patch: Lega Calcio 1946–1996 Condition: Vintage condition as clearly documented in the photographs.
