Official 1996-97 Italy Training Shirt, Euro 1996
Size:
L
Condition of shirt:
Excellent, bright colours throughout
Made by:
Nike
Players:
Paolo Maldini, Roberto Baggio, Gianfranco Zola, Alessandro Del Piero, Angelo Di Livio
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.

FAQ
Q: How do I know if this size will fit me?
A: Check the "Armpit to armpit" measurement in the description above and compare it to a shirt you already own that fits well — this is the most reliable way to judge fit, since sizing has varied across seasons and manufacturers.
Q: How do you guarantee this shirt is authentic?
A: Every shirt is carefully inspected — crest, logos, seams, fabric — and checked against its individual code before listing. We guarantee the authenticity of everything we sell.
Q: What if the size doesn't fit?
A: You have 14 days to email us at contact@aurafootballshirts.com with your order number. Items must be returned in their original condition; return shipping is at your cost, and refunds are processed within 14 business days.
Q: Why does the sizing on vintage football shirts feel different from modern jerseys?
A: Vintage football shirts (particularly from the 1990s and 2000s) were cut looser and boxier than today's slim-fit jerseys, so a size that matches your usual modern jersey can run larger on a vintage shirt. We recommend comparing the "Armpit to armpit" measurement above to a shirt you already own, rather than relying on the size label alone.
