About this shirt

Own one of the most eccentric, sought-after, and discussed collector's items in modern Italian football with this official 2022/23 SSC Napoli Valentine's Day shirt.Produced by Giorgio Armani's luxury sportswear brand, EA7, this limited-edition jersey breaks away from standard football design templates to present a striking aesthetic dedicated to the day of love. The top features a clean, bright white torso base contrasted dramatically by raglan sleeves boasting a vibrant red-to-pink gradient stripe design. The true centerpiece of the shirt is the gigantic, stylized red lipstick kiss graphic emblazoned boldly across the bottom-right corner, wrapping seamlessly around the side seam to the lower back.The front of the jersey features a high-definition, glossy heat-applied Napoli club crest alongside a white-on-black 3D-molded EA7 logo. The shirt hosts the classic multi-sponsor arrangement typical of this historic Scudetto campaign, including the famous red Lete block, dark blue MSC lettering, and the black Amazon sponsor printed on the left sleeve. Flipping to the reverse, a sharp, clean "SSCN" monogram logo is embroidered squarely onto the upper neck panel.Engineered with EA7's premium ultra-lightweight, high-stretch mesh ventilation panels along the sides, this jersey offers a sleek, slim-cut silhouette that captures the high-fashion luxury flare of the Milanese runway combined with Naples' unmatched footballing passion.

The story behind the shirt

2020/21 in context

The 2022/23 season wasn't just another year in Naples; it was a historic, generation-defining campaign where the city finally erupted to celebrate their first Serie A title in 33 long years, dating back to the legendary days of Diego Maradona.1. The Fashion Capital Meets Neapolitan PassionUnder the eccentric ownership of film producer Aurelio De Laurentiis, Napoli completely reimagined football merchandise by partnering with the luxury fashion house Emporio Armani (EA7). Instead of releasing the standard three kits per season, Napoli turned the football world on its head by treating the club like a seasonal fashion line—releasing over a dozen special-edition match kits. Among all the variations dropped that year, the "San Valentino" shirt stood out as the boldest and most polarizing, capturing the romantic, dramatic soul of the city of Naples.2. Worn in Battle: The Night at the MaradonaThis iconic design wasn't just a marketing gimmick; it was worn on the pitch by the first-team squad on January 17, 2023, during a torrential downpour in a dramatic Coppa Italia clash against Cremonese at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Images of world-class striker Victor Osimhen and midfield wizard Khvicha Kvaratskhelia battling through the rain in a white shirt decorated with a massive red kiss became instant, unforgettable viral moments across global football culture.3. A Noble CauseBeyond its visual flair, this jersey carried a deep philanthropic story. The match-worn shirts from the Cremonese game were later auctioned off by the club, with 100% of the proceeds donated directly to Azienda Sanitaria Locale Napoli 1 Centro, funding crucial charity programs dedicated to protecting women and combating gender-based violence.4. Collector's Holy GrailBecause it was produced in highly restricted numbers, sold out almost immediately on the club's webstore, and was worn for only one single match in football history, this shirt has transformed from a quirky gimmick into one of the ultimate modern "grail" pieces for football shirt purists. It encapsulates a legendary season where Napoli completely dominated Italian football with a blend of elite tactics and theatrical style.
