Paolo Rossi #20 (Spain World Cup 1982)

One of the 'oldies' in my collection. Here I must thank Pierpaolo for the precious information about this shirt, which made me learn a lot. Paolo Rossi, who scored 6 goals in WC 1982 which brought him the Golden Boot and Golden Ball, led Italy to win her third FIFA World Cup trophy.

It's simply classic... the FIGC badge has obvious difference from replica. Nevertheless, it's not exactly the same as that of player-worn shirts... I reckon it's an intermediate between retro and player shirts.

This shirt is made of 100% cotton, manufactured in Italy.
