1995-96 Italy Nike Home Shirt - 8/10 - (L)

Official Nike Italy home shirt from the 1995-96 season, worn as Arrigo Sacchi's and then Cesare Maldini's Azzurri competed in Euro 96 in England, a tournament that ended in a group stage exit for the defending World Cup finalists in deeply disappointing fashion despite possessing a squad of genuine world class quality including Roberto Baggio, Paolo Maldini, Demetrio Albertini and Gianfranco Zola whose collective talent made the early elimination all the more frustrating and difficult to comprehend for a nation that always expects and demands the very highest level of performance from its national team. A classic mid-90s Nike design in the iconic azzurro of Italy, the beginning of the partnership between the Azzurri and Nike that would produce some of the most celebrated and collectible Italian international shirts of the modern era, garments whose design quality and historical significance have made them among the most sought after pieces of vintage football memorabilia in the entire market as appreciation for 90s kit design has reached its absolute peak among collectors worldwide. A large size Italy home shirt from this era in this condition is an attractive and increasingly scarce piece of Azzurri history from a period of transition and frustration for one of the sport's most historically significant and passionately followed international teams. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
