Notes:
Training as worn by the Italy national football team in training during the 1996 UEFA European Championship and the subsequent period.
This training shirt represents a period of transition and high expectations for Italy: coming off strong performances and preparing for future tournaments. The design features that white and blue base with tricolour detailing (green-white-red) on collar and cuffs, a hallmark of Italian national team kits of the era.
The “ITALIA” print down the sleeve adds authenticity and aesthetic appeal. For collectors, this piece stands out not just for its national significance, but for its contextual link to training sessions rather than just match day, meaning fewer copies typically in circulation and enhanced rarity.
Wearing this shirt means having a part of the Azzurri’s journey in the mid-90s, when iconic players donned the blue during preparations for major tournaments. It’s a kit with pedigree, visual appeal and meaningful provenance for any vintage football shirt collection.
