During his  whole career, but especially with Sampdoria, Pagliuca was very recognizable for his colorful fancy shirts. He was sponsor by Reusch first and then by Puma. During his period with Sampdoria his sponsor Reusch provided him shirts and gloves but since the team’s supplier was Asics, he had to hide the Reusch’s logo showing Asics’s logo on chest like it happened with this shirt.

Zenga Walter


Did you Know?

In 1994, Zenga transferred to Sampdoria where he played for two seasons. In the season 1995-1996 the team was once again condemned to midfield mediocrity, despite the services of super striker Enrico Chiesa, who netted 22 goals in just 27 appearances. Sven-Göran Eriksson continued with an attacking style of play, leading to Sampdoria scoring 59 goals in 34 matches, only bettered by champions Milan and Lazio. The backside was the many conceded goals it led to, with even relegated Torino having a better defensive record than the Genua team. Playmaker duo Clarence Seedorf and Christian Karembeu had great seasons, both compensating for the losses of Jugović, Lombardo and David Platt in the summer. The duo caught the attention of Real Madrid, and moved to Spain, with Karembeu staying put until the end of the 1996-97 season.

Things to Know:

U.C. Sampdoria returned to Serie A after a four year-absence, and immediately re-established itself as a team on the top half of the domestic championship. Goalkeeper Francesco Antonioli offered crucial experience, but apart from him did the bulk of the squad play in the 2002-03 Serie B, with top goalscorers Fabio Bazzani and Francesco Flachi quickly adjusting themselves to the higher pace of Serie A. Midfielders Sergio Volpi and Angelo Palombo also stood out. Right back Aimo Diana even earned a call-up to the national team following his performances.

Cassano Antonio

Things to Know:

During the 2008-2009 season, Cassano confirmed to have temperamentally improved, also becoming vice-captain for the team behind Angelo Palombo. After the January signing of Giampaolo Pazzini from Fiorentina, Cassano managed to form a fruitful striking partnership with the former Viola forward, that was praised by both media and Sampdoria supporters, and led club chairman Riccardo Garrone to compare it with striking duo of Gianluca Vialli and Roberto Mancini that led Sampdoria to win their only Scudetto to date, an opinion that was later shared also by both Vialli and Mancini. Cassano scored 12 goals in Serie A and helped Sampdoria to reach the Coppa Italia final that season, scoring a goal in the semi-final against the Serie A Champions, Inter. In the final, Sampdoria were defeated by Lazio in a penalty shoot-out, with Cassano missing the first penalty.

120th Anniversary Sampierdarenese Special Shirt 


Match Worn Unwashed Shirt


Andersen Joachim 


Did you Know?

Joachim Andersen wore this shirt in the first half of the game against Atalanta on March 10th 2019. This shirt was exclusively worn by the team in this game only. Sampdoria played the game with special-edition kit that celebrated the 120th anniversary of the foundation of one of its parent clubs. In March 1899, the football section of the Sampierdarenese Gymnastics Society was founded, which would later merge with another club, Andrea Doria, to create Sampdoria. The iconic and timeless Sampdoria shirt design was created then, combining the blue shirts worn by Andrea Doria and the white, red and black midsection of Sampierdarenese. Inspired by the Sampierdarenese design, the special Sampdoria shirt is white with a red and black ring and a very traditional collar. It does not feature a club emblem, while the sponsor appears very far down on the front, below the horizontal stripe. Just like with Sampierdarenese’s kits, black shorts and socks will complete the uniform. Shirts were limited to 200 units, all numbered. The first 100 numbered shirts (001 to 100) were issued and worn by the players only. Shirts numbered from 101 to 200 were sold to the official club’s store. The real worn ones were auctioned instead to support the “Gaslini Hospital” in Genova.

Things to Know:

Apparently the quality of name sets and numbers on the back was not really the best. As you can see from pictures beside and below most of the players lost name’s letters and numbers during the game. In particular Joachim Andersen lost the the letter “N” of the name and the lower part of number 3 partially got damaged during the game. You can clearly see it from the screenshots of the game. The letter “N” was almost fallen during the last minutes of the first half and the lower part of the number was almost fallen. The letter was probably lost in the kit room after the player took the shirt off and the number was fixed by Sampdoria’s kit man with the heat press before the shirt was auctioned.

Vieira Ronaldo


Did you Know?

This shirt was worn by Ronaldo Vieira during the game against Parma which took place in Parma on May 5th 2019. This is a very special shirt used by the team only once. To celebrate the historic twinning between the fans, Parma Calcio 1913 and U.C. Sampdoria “exchanged” their shirts. The teams wore the special kits only in this game, thanks also to the collaboration of technical sponsors Errea and Joma and both clubs. The fans of Unione Calcio Sampdoria and Parma Calcio 1913 have had a friendship for nearly 30 years. The bond between the two clubs began in the 1990/91 season, during Parma’s first-ever season in Serie A. Parma’s two organised supporter’s clubs, ULTRAS Tito Cucchiaroni and Boys Parma, soon built up a good relationship with the Sampdoria fans – but it was a special banner that sealed the special bond. During Parma’s away trip to Marassi, the fans unveiled the message: “For you Europe, for you glory, for Sampdoria the Scudetto”. As it happened, Samp did win the league that year, with Parma finishing fifth. It was the first in a long line of gestures between the two sets of fans. So Sampdoria played this game in a special kit featuring Parma’s signature “crociata” design, while Parma wore a yellow and blue “blucerchiati” jerseys to honor the classical Sampdoria’s colored band of its jersey. The initiative, named “Blucrociati – not just colours”, mixed the salient features of two of the most iconic Italian kits of all times, though each team still played in their usual colors, to preserve the identity of the two clubs. The “Crociata” jersey worn by Sampdoria was produced by Joma and has seen the two arms of the cross finished in the four colors normally seen on Doria jerseys. Positioned under the traditional club logo there is the lettering commemorating the match. On the bottom of the shirt there is a special numbered tag (XXX/400) with match details on. The jerseys worn by the players in the game were put up for auction. Proceeds from sales of the Parma shirts were donated in full to the Istituto Gaslini in Genoa, while proceeds from the Sampdoria shirts went to Parma Children’s Hospital. Limited editions (400 shirts of Sampdoria’s kit) of both shirts were also available for fans to buy in both club online stores for 99 Euro. Of course match worn shirts had some slight differences….

Did you Know?

This shirt was issued for Tommaso Augello for the Serie A game between Napoli and Sampdoria which took place in Napoli, “Stadio Diego Armando Maradona”, on December 13th 2020. This shirt was especially released by the team’s supplier Macron to celebrate the first Serie A game played in the newly renamed “Stadio Diego Armando Maradona” (former “Stadio San Paolo”). The Napoli’s stadium was renamed following the Diego Maradona’s death on November 25th 2020. The idea to tribute this game with a special shirt was discussed by Sampdoria’s president Massimo Ferrero just few days before the game during a TV program where he was guest. In the beginning the team supposed to play in home kit so these special shirts with the embroidered match details on chest were produced by Macron alongside with goalkeeper’s shirts. Few days before the game, Sampdoria was noticed that players had to play with away black kit so the team supplier had no more time to embroider the shirts so Macron moved forward with a special badge to iron on player’s shirts. Players played with the away kit with an extra detail’s patch on chest and the goalkeeper Audero played with the regular embroidery as it supposed to be. This Tommaso Augello shirt is the shirt originally prepared by Macron for the game but never used. See below the away black worn kit.

A.C.Milan defeated Sampdoria 2-1. This is a very special limited edition kit released by team’s supplier Macron.  It is a kit with 120 years of history. The shirt represents the Andrea Doria shirt. A shirt with a vintage style that represents the history and origins of Unione Calcio Sampdoria. The particular “blucerchiata” shirt is the result of the merger of the shirts of two clubs, Sampiedarenese and Andrea Doria, which on 12 August 1946 gave birth to the current Unione Calcio Sampdoria. Andrea Doria, founded in 1895 and dedicated to the famous admiral of the Republic of Genoa, played with a white blue quarter shirt (blue on the right, white on the left and sleeves with inverted colour). This is one of the oldest uniforms in Italian football: Andrea Doria’s football section was in fact born in 1900 and today, with its 120 years of history, this jersey presents a new look in a special edition that Macron has created for U.C.Sampdoria. The Andrea Doria jersey has a vintage polo neck with integrated laces and the backneck is personalised with the club’s colours, the club edge and the limited edition number. The right side of the jersey is navy blue, while the left side is white, colours that are inverted on the sleeves (white on the right, navy blue on the left). The shirt is limited to 1000 pcs worldwide. The lowest 100 shirts numbered xxxx/1000 were given to the players and they were used for the game while the shirts numbered up to 100 were sold in team’s shops.

This set was worn by Valerio Verre during the Serie A game between Sampdoria and Lazio which took place in Genova, “Stadio Luigi Ferraris”, on December 5th 2021. Lazio defeated Sampdoria 3-1. This set is a limited edition kit used by the team in this game only. It represents the Sampdoria’s 2021-22 fourth kit made by Macron and it is called “Samp for People”. It recalls the social responsibility project undertaken by Sampdoria. The shirt is made with a so called “Eco Softlock” fabric which is a technical fabric specially designed for game sets with 100% recycled polyester yarn that makes the shirt light, soft and very resistant to tearing and with a quick drying guaranteed. This fabric is made with a thread which is 100% PET recycled polyester and is certified by Global Recycle Standard. PET is a material made of oil or natural gas and can be 100% recycled, thus returning in the market in the form of new eco-sustainable products. In particular, the PET gathered after its first use is reduced in 2 mm chips and subsequently treated in order to obtain a thread that guarantees the same performance of a virgin thread. The thread does not lose its original characteristics during its treatment and for this reason may be repeatedly recycled. Last but not least, compared to virgin polyester, the PET recycled polyester has the advantage of requiring less energy during the production chain. For each produced shirt, 13 0.5 l bottles are recycled. This kit was released in a total of 1.000 pieces numbered on the bottom. The first 100 kits, numbered from 0001/1000 to 0100/1000 were given to the team to be worn in the game against Lazio while the rest 900 kits were sold in the team’s shops.

This shirt has been worn by Valerio Verre during the Serie A game between Sampdoria and Napoli which took place in Genova, “Luigi Ferraris” Stadium on January 8th 2023. Napoli defeated Sampdoria 2-0 and at the end of the game Verre swapped his shirt with a Napoli’s player whom we got it from. This is a special shirt worn by the team as a tribute to their legends Gianluca Vialli and Sinisa Mihajlovic who passed away few days before the game. The special shirt has the engraving of Vialli and Mihajlovic’s initials along with the eternity sign in between. The Luca and Sinisa engraving was placed inside the match jersey’s collar. Aside from wearing the special jersey with Luca-Sinisa collar, during warm-up, “La Samp” players entered the pitch wearing Vialli named jersey on their back. Before the match started, Sampdoria’s coaching staff also unfold both Vialli and Mihajlovic jerseys from the dugout. Unfortunately, “La Samp” couldn’t marked the tribute night with a win as they were beaten 2-0 by current league leader, Napoli. During his time at Sampdoria, Vialli helped them win several titles especially the Scudetto in the 1990-1991 season. The former striker sadly passed away on January 6, 2023, after losing his battle against cancer. Meanwhile, Mihajlvoic was also an important figure for La Samp as he played for four years (1994-1998) for them. The former defender passed away on December 16, 2022, also due to cancer.
