A.C. Colorno 2005 Home Shirt

A zero kilometre match worn shirt: the club is from Colorno, the brand from neighbouring Torrile, and everything about this piece speaks the dialect of Parma. Erreà designed an unconventional asymmetric shirt, with the green and white hoops occupying only part of the body, cut by yellow piping and a diagonal panel, plus a touch of elegance at the neck, A. C. Colorno in script, befitting a club with a crown on its chest. The yellow number 25 confirms match use in the regional leagues of Emilia-Romagna, the natural habitat of the colornesi. It is the kind of shirt that never reaches the shops: produced for one squad, sweated through one season and rescued by those who know Italian football is also told through its provinces. From the Po plain, with a ducal seal.

Here at Hoopster, the Po valley arrives whole in a single piece: club, brand and sweat, all born in the same corner of Parma.
