Long sleeves for the bay's damp winters, green hoops with navy trims and, instead of a crest, the name in full: Fiamma Sangiovannese, written on the chest beside the Zeus logo, because at neighbourhood clubs identity needs no heraldry. The sponsor is from the trade that builds the periphery, Matra Costruzioni, and on the back the three dimensional blue 8 carries beneath it the lightning seal of Zeus Sport, the Torre Annunziata brand born in 1999 at the foot of Vesuvius to dress exactly this: Campania's amateur football, before growing all the way to Serie A.

It is a central midfielder's shirt from San Giovanni a Teduccio, Neapolitan football played ten minutes from the Maradona but a world away.

Here at Hoopster, its worth is the motto stitched into its spirit: Zeus dresses the gods, and in Naples even neighbourhood leagues are entitled to one.
