Why is the Sampdoria shirt considered the most beautiful in the world?

"Sampdoria may not have the same number of trophies as Juve or AC Milan, but on the other hand they have worn a splendid and instantly recognisable shirt," wrote ESPN when it decided to award first place to the 1991/92 Sampdoria shirt in its special list of the 100 most beautiful uniforms in history. It was a year that all Sampdoria fans will find hard to forget, not only because of the prestigious prize awarded by the American editorial office, but also because the previous year the team had experienced one of the best sporting moments ever, winning the historic first and only Scudetto under the guidance of Vialli-Mancini. Despite the fact that some time has passed, there have never been any changes to the colours, no Tie Dye, fluorescent colours or geometric patterns, the characteristic element of the shirt has always remained the circled blue band that has always fascinated fans and collectors.

A recognition that came not only from ESPN, even "Four Four Two", famous English magazine when in 2017/18 published its special ranking of the most beautiful jerseys in the world reserved the first place always to the blucerchiata team. An important recognition that Samp doesn't want to forget or put aside, that's why every year on the inside of the neck is printed the words "The most beautiful jersey in the world" and that doesn't fail to emphasize for each new purchase, as with Giovinco a few days ago.
