Will Napoli release another shirt dedicated to Maradona?
After the Halloween jersey, there might be another one designed by EA7
November 2nd, 2021
As reported by "A tutela della maglia del Napoli", it seems that the Neapolitan club will release a new jersey dedicated to the most iconic number ten in its history: Diego Armando Maradona. After last year's white and blue striped Kappa jersey inspired by the Argentine national team, EA7 has designed a new one featuring a caricature of the Pibe de Oro accompanied by a huge fingerprint. The jersey is likely to make its debut at the end of November in the match against Lazio, as the 25th is the first anniversary of his death.
EA7 has broken all records in its debut season in Serie A. The Italian brand has so far designed three league jerseys for the Neapolitan team, presented at the end of August, two for Europa League matches and the latest one for Halloween. Added to this long list are of course the two jerseys worn by the goalkeepers, a strategy never before seen in the world of football, never before has a team made so many jerseys for a single season.
Last year, also due to the sudden death of a player who wrote history in Naples, the jersey was a resounding success, going sold out after just a few hours on sale. A year later, EA7 and Napoli are trying again with a new kit, this time featuring the Argentinean footballer's face with a fingerprint that recalls his origins, for him who was born in Lanùs but is Neapolitan by adoption.
