While all Unione Calcio (UC) Sampdoria Home shirts are similarly iconic through their use of the famous horizontal banding, the 1991-92 design is particularly notable.
The style worn in that season, produced by Asics, carries the Scudetto shield - sublimated, like all the detailing bar the manufacturer’s logo, on this example - as a consequence of Samp’s single Serie A win in the previous campaign, and this is combined with the club crest on the sleeve and the immediately recognisable “ERG” sponsor.
The shirt brings to mind the likes of Gianluca Vialli, Roberto Mancini and Attilio Lombardo, referencing a season when the Genoa-based club came so very close to following their domestic pinnacle with becoming champions of Europe.
