Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli, formed on 1 January 1926, are an Italian professional club who trace their origins to 1926, are based in Naples and play in Serie A. Collectors prize the club’s sky blue home shirts and the signatures of era-defining players; signed retail shirts and limited editions surface from official drops and fanshop runs, and you will find curated items and framed pieces at Walkouts.
Napoli’s recent renaissance rests alongside historic peaks, notably the Diego Maradona years of the 1980s, and the team now plays at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Across its history the club has secured four league titles and carries continental prestige as 1989 UEFA Cup winners. The squad’s story includes re-founding in 2004 and steady top-flight returns, and the side sits at 86 in the IFFHS club rankings.
The club’s kit identity is clear, sky blue shirts with white shorts at home and contrasting away combinations that collectors note. Stadio San Paolo, the former stadium name, remains central to provenance stories, and local derbies such as the Derby del Sole add match provenance to shirts worn or sold around high-stakes fixtures. Coppa Italia successes and Supercoppa ties also create season-specific demand.
Anniversary and memorial releases are a key collector category. Official memorial kits and special editions issued after significant moments, including the San Paolo to Diego Maradona renaming campaigns, are chased because they tie a shirt to a cultural milestone in Naples and often appear in limited runs. Post-1970 commemorative drops, reprints and special crests offer visible provenance for framed displays or shelf collections.
Season and match magnets drive strong interest: shirts from Napoli’s title run in 1986-87, the European milestone of 1988-89 and the modern 2022-23 championship are all sought after because they mark decisive matches and iconic squad lists. Iconic away pieces, notably the white away used in the 1988-89 UEFA Cup away successes, carry match narratives and photo evidence that elevate their appeal. Collectors also chase early fanshop runs, player-issue variants and region-specific retail releases that differ from match-issued shirts.
Special collector cues matter: the 2019 memorial kits tied to the stadium renaming are a documented anniversary release, and the white 1988-89 away design links directly to key UEFA Cup away wins, which increases provenance for framed or signed examples. Where available, original packaging, dated tags and credible photo evidence add context to each piece.
For historic season shirts, the first Scudetto season 1986-87 and more recent title runs such as 2022-23 and the 1988-89 cup campaign remain primary targets; collectors often seek items with a COA or player-attributed provenance to confirm signature authenticity. Browse documented shirt editions and match-associated pieces, and finish your search at Walkouts for verified signed shirts and curated Napoli memorabilia.
