Fiorentina Long Sleeve Away Shirt - 1992-93
The Fiorentina long sleeve away shirt from the 1992-1993 season is a distinctive piece of football history, notable for its unique design and the controversy it sparked. Produced by Lotto, this jersey was intended to be the team’s alternate kit during a challenging season that ultimately saw Fiorentina relegated from Serie A.
Design and Features
• Color and Pattern: The shirt features a predominantly white base with bold purple geometric patterns across the shoulders and sleeves. This design inadvertently resembled swastikas, leading to the kit being withdrawn from use midway through the season. It was subsequently replaced by a plain white version.
• Sponsor: The front of the jersey prominently displays the 7UP logo, adding a vibrant contrast to the purple and white color scheme.
• Branding: The Lotto logo and the classic Fiorentina crest are embroidered on the chest, symbolizing the club’s identity.
Notable Players and Squad Numbers
Several key players donned this away kit during the 1992-1993 season:
• #9 Gabriel Batistuta: The prolific Argentine striker led the team’s scoring efforts, netting 16 goals in Serie A and 19 across all competitions.
• #11 Brian Laudrup: The Danish forward, known for his technical prowess, contributed significantly during his tenure with the club.
• #10 Stefan Effenberg: The German midfielder brought creativity and strength to the midfield, playing a pivotal role throughout the season.
• #1 Gianmatteo Mareggini: Serving as the team’s primary goalkeeper, Mareggini was a consistent presence between the posts.
• #3 Alberto Malusci: A steadfast defender, Malusci was integral to Fiorentina’s defensive lineup.
Historical Significance
This particular away shirt is remembered not only for its striking design but also for the unintended controversy it caused. The geometric pattern’s resemblance to swastikas led to its withdrawal, making original versions of this jersey rare and highly sought after by collectors. The 1992-1993 season itself was a tumultuous one for Fiorentina, culminating in relegation, which adds a layer of historical significance to this kit.
