About

Unione Sportiva Livorno 1915, based in Livorno, Tuscany, currently compete in Serie C. The club was founded on 1 January 1915 and the cityside identity is defined by the deep amaranto colour that gives the team its popular name. Collectors and fans look for signed shirts tied to the club’s long run through Italy’s league system, and selected match-issue and fanshop releases are available at Walkouts for those seeking verified signatures and provenance.

Livorno have a history of movement between divisions, having been one of the original sides of Serie A and later undergoing refoundings in 1991 and 2021 that forced returns from regional Eccellenza football. Home fixtures are played at the Stadio Armando Picchi, a regular provenance point for framed shirts and match programmes, and the club’s modern era includes sustained campaigns in the mid 2000s that resonate with collectors.

On the honours list the amaranto have won a number of domestic titles, most notably two Serie B titles, together with triumphs in Lega Pro divisions and a Supercoppa di Serie C. Those trophies anchor demand for shirts from promotion seasons and cup runs, while period marks such as the 1940s top-flight stint and the 2004 to 2008 era remain reference points for authenticated signatures.

For collectors the distinction between match-worn, match-issued and retail fanshop shirts is important. Walkouts listings routinely highlight fanshop releases as valued signed pieces alongside player-issue variants; early retail runs, region-specific editions and numbered limited editions are often chased because they are easier to verify and photograph as compared with one-off match-worn items. Signed retail demand therefore complements match provenance for durable display items.

Anniversary and milestone releases carry special interest, for example the Centenary 2015 themes that celebrated the 100-year foundation and produced commemorative shirts and retrospectives tied to club memory. Season magnets such as the promotion campaigns and the return to higher divisions mean shirts from particular campaigns are sought after, while photographic evidence from decisive fixtures serves as an important provenance layer for every signed item.

When sourcing Livorno pieces collectors focus on key seasons and authenticated signatures, notably shirts connected to the 2004-05 top-flight campaign and later efforts such as the 2007-08 period, and many Walkouts listings carry a COA to confirm signature authenticity. Items tied to promotion seasons and cup finals from those years are especially prominent in the market, and buyers can cross-check photo proof and match reports to confirm provenance before purchase.

Honours

Livorno's trophy cabinet is led by domestic successes across Italy's professional tiers rather than continental honours. The club has won Serie B on more than one occasion and has lifted both the Lega Pro Prima Divisione and Lega Pro Seconda Divisione titles, reflecting repeated returns to higher divisions. A notable single‑match honour is the Supercoppa di Serie C victory that underlined promotion campaigns. Periodic refoundings forced the club to rebuild from regional tiers such as Eccellenza and Serie D, making promotions decisive moments in the club's modern history. Livorno were also among the original sides of Serie A and have experienced multiple relegations and returns, with promotion playoffs and title‑deciding runs forming key turning points in the club's competitive record.
