Description
Match worn/issued Napoli third shirt by the club’s number 7 in either the season 1991-1992 or 1992-1993. Multiple players wore the number 7 these seasons: most frequently by Italian defender Giancarlo Corradini, but also by Italian midfielders Massimo Crippa and Angelo Carbone (who only played in the season 1992-93).
The 1991-1993 seasons were a period of transition for Napoli, as the club struggled to maintain the same level of success it had achieved during the Maradona era. In 1991-1992, under coach Luis Suárez Miramontes, Napoli finished 4th in Serie A, showing glimpses of potential with players like Careca, Gianfranco Zola, and Ciro Ferrara. Despite the strong squad, Napoli couldn’t quite compete with the top teams, as the club was still adjusting to life without Maradona.
However, in the 1992-1993 season, the team faced a significant decline, finishing 11th in Serie A, which marked a drop in form. Managerial changes and injuries to key players affected their consistency, and they struggled to find the same rhythm that had brought them success in the previous decade. The 1992-93 campaign was a difficult one, and Napoli failed to challenge for any major honors, highlighting the challenges the club faced in this transitional period.
This shirt has all the characteristics of a match shirt: the correct player size number in felt material is professionally heat-pressed on the shirt; correct first team player size L or XL, but above all the fully embroidered Umbro and club logos on the chest which on the official replica shirts are raised embossed. Furthermore, the Umbro lettering is capitalized which is also not the case on the shirts that were commercially available shirts.
