SERIE A

Juventus covers Baggio's 1990-91 Kappa home shirt, Zidane and Del Piero from the mid-nineties, and Pogba and Pirlo from twenty years later, the black and white stripes barely changing while everything worn under them did. A Player Issue Del Piero shirt, still with its tags, sits alongside the standard retail versions of the same 2006-07 kit, the kind of piece that shows how far a matchday shirt can drift from what fans could actually buy. Pirlo's 2014-15 third shirt in Adidas' template marks the other end of the club's kit history covered here, a quarter century of the same stripes under four different manufacturers.

AC Milan and Inter Milan share the page the way they share the city, Maldini and Shevchenko on one side, Ronaldo and Zamorano on the other, both clubs represented back into the early nineties with a 1990-91 Milan home shirt from Adidas. Inter's odd '1+8' squad-numbering system from the late nineties shows up here too, Zamorano's number 18 a direct result of Ronaldo already holding the 9. Kaka's 2005-06 Milan home shirt and a Gattuso third kit from 2003-04 round out the Rossoneri side of the page, while Inter's Adriano and Ronaldo away shirts from 1998 to 2000 carry Nike rather than the Adidas cut Milan wore through the same seasons.

AS Roma is built almost entirely around Totti, three different away and third shirts across the 2000s in Kappa and Diadora, while Napoli's stock reaches back to a plain 1994-95 Lotto home shirt from a club that spent years rebuilding after Maradona left in 1991. Neither club has the depth of stock Juventus or the Milan sides carry here, which makes each individual Roma or Napoli piece more likely to be the only one of its kind currently listed.

Smaller clubs still make it onto this page when the story is strong enough: a Torino home shirt from the mid-2000s in Asics, and a Brescia shirt carrying Baggio's number 10 from the final club of his career, a quieter ending than the Juventus and Milan years most people picture when his name comes up. Sampdoria's training jacket from 2003-04 sits in the same group, an Asics piece from a period when training wear carried almost as much club branding as the matchday kit itself.

Baggio, Zidane and Maldini also appear in legends, grouped there with the rest of the players whose jerseys get bought for the name as much as the crest. Sizing throughout this page is measured flat, pit to pit and top to bottom, since Kappa and Diadora cuts from the nineties run noticeably tighter than a modern equivalent, and a labeled L from that era can sit closer to a current M once it's actually on.
