The 1992-93 Fiorentina Away Shirt
The 1992-93 Fiorentina home shirt stands as one of the most iconic and sought-after football jerseys in collecting circles. Manufactured by Lotto, this shirt features the distinctive violet (viola) color that gives the team its nickname "La Viola," complemented by the revolutionary 7UP sponsor logo that perfectly integrates with the design. The shirt's unique geometric pattern on the shoulders and sleeves, typical of early '90s design, makes it instantly recognizable.
What makes this shirt particularly special is its representation of a pivotal moment in Fiorentina's history. It was the last shirt worn in Serie A before their shocking relegation, marking the end of an era. The jersey became a symbol of both pride and pain for Fiorentina supporters, worn by legends like Gabriel Batistuta and Brian Laudrup during this dramatic season.
Season Overview
The 1992-93 season marked a dramatic turning point in ACF Fiorentina's history, ending their 55-year stay in Serie A with relegation. Under the management of Luigi Radice, the team started the season promisingly and reached sixth place, but his dismissal led to a downward spiral.
Key Events
The season featured both spectacular highs and devastating lows. A remarkable 7-1 victory against Ancona showcased the team's attacking potential, while a crushing 7-3 home defeat to Milan highlighted their defensive vulnerabilities.
Management Changes
Three managers led the team during this turbulent season:
- Luigi Radice (started the season)
- Aldo Agroppi (replaced Radice)
- Luciano Chiarugi (final five games)
Notable Players
- Gabriel Batistuta led the attack with 16 league goals
- Brian Laudrup joined from Bayern Munich for €6.3M
- Francesco Baiano arrived from Foggia
Final Standing
Fiorentina finished 16th in Serie A with:
- 8 wins
- 14 draws
- 12 losses
- 53 goals scored
- 56 goals conceded
- 30 points total
The season's fate was sealed in dramatic fashion on the final day. Despite winning 6-2 against Foggia, Udinese's late equalizer against Roma condemned Fiorentina to relegation.
Today, this shirt represents more than just a piece of football clothing - it's a collector's item that encapsulates a crucial chapter in Fiorentina's history, making it highly sought after by football shirt enthusiasts and Viola fans alike.
