A match worn piece with pedigree and double symbolism. The number 2 and the name on the back belong to Ezequiel Schelotto, the wing back who played the Champions League for Inter, the Premier League for Brighton and wore Italy's shirt once, and who in August 2024 accepted Paradiso's project within minutes, going on to become captain and Switzerland's first player vice-president. For Hoopster, the circle is perfect: the man who wore Alvalade's hoops between 2015 and 2017 ended his career in another set of green and white hoops, these ones populated by the lions of Paradiso's coat of arms, which Legea scattered across the stripes as a heraldic pattern. NewJob Costruzioni on the chest and Genius Watches on the sleeve complete the portrait of Ticino's ambitious football. From Milan, Lisbon and Brighton to a thousand seat ground by the lake: there are worse retirements than Paradise.

Here at Hoopster, it is the Swiss postcard of the archive: hoops with a heraldry of their own, on the shores of the Ceresio, at a club where even the name promises a happy ending.
