Naples Shirts, SSC Napoli
Discover here the Naples jerseys and items in the colours of SSC Napoli, including vintage-inspired models that recall the club's iconic kits.
The Neapolitan azure is one of the most recognizable colours in Italian football, and one of the most associated with a particular player.
SSC Napoli, the club from the South
Naples holds a special place in Italy. In a league long dominated by clubs from the North, Napoli is the flagbearer of the Mezzogiorno, and its fans are known for a passion that goes beyond just sports.
The club has experienced two major eras. First, during Diego Maradona's time, when he brought the club its first Italian championship titles in the late eighties and left a legacy that no player has ever matched in a European city. Then, more recently, with the return of the Scudetto after more than thirty years of waiting.
The stadium is now named after Diego Armando Maradona, a tribute paid after his passing. It's one of the few European stadiums named after a player.
The Azzurro, the blue of Naples
Napoli's home shirt is sky blue, a bright and light shade that gives the club its nickname of azzurri, shared with the Italian national team. It evokes the sea and the Gulf of Naples.
This is a colour the club has never abandoned, making its shirts recognizable even to audiences who don’t follow the Italian league. The shirts from the Maradona era remain among the most sought-after vintage shirts in the world.
Vintage and retro shirts
Some items in this selection replicate the club's historical uniforms rather than the current collections. These are reissues, not authentic pieces: new shirts made today based on an old model.
They differ from the official shirts of the season in two ways. Generally, the cuts are looser, reflecting the style of the eighties and nineties, and the materials are often cotton rather than technical polyester. This is clothing to wear, not a match kit.
What size to choose?
On a vintage shirt, the cut is wider than a modern shirt, especially at the shoulders and sleeves. Choosing your usual size usually gives a deliberately loose fit, which aligns with the spirit of the product.
On a current collection shirt, the supporter version fits true to size, and the player version is one size up, as the fit is considerably more fitted.
Printing: name, number and badges
On a vintage reissue, the printing uses the typography of the era, which is a significant part of the product's appeal. On a current collection shirt, it's the typography of the ongoing competition.
In both cases, a personalised shirt cannot be exchanged: the size must be checked before ordering, not after.
Other Serie A clubs
The Italian league is rich in historic clubs, and each has its own page:
- The Juventus, the most successful club in Italy and the great rival of the North.
- The Inter Milan and the Milan AC, the two clubs from San Siro.
- The AS Roma and the Lazio Rome, the two clubs from the capital.
- Atalanta Bergamo, Fiorentina, Torino, Bologna, Udinese, Cagliari, Hellas Verona and Sampdoria complete the selection.
The other clubs page covers the rest of the league, and the Serie A page gathers them all.
Where to find a cheaper Naples shirt
