Parma Calcio 1913, based in Parma, Emilia-Romagna, competes in Serie A and has a long collecting pedigree, and Walkouts lists signed shirts from the club's most famous eras. The side was founded on 01 January 1913, and modern collectors value shirts that sit between the golden 1990s runs and the post-refoundation comeback story.
The team has played at the Stadio Ennio Tardini, often called Il Tardini, since 1923 and enjoyed a trophy-rich spell in the 1990s and early 2000s, including three Coppa Italia and two UEFA Cups among other honours. The Parmalat years brought both glory and later financial collapse, the club was refounded in 2015 and climbed back to the top flight, a trajectory that adds provenance to shirts from both eras; the club is also ranked 305 by IFFHS.
Anniversary releases are a distinct collecting lane. The club's centenary produced a crest and run tied to the 1913-2013 celebrations, and post-1970 anniversary drops have become reference pieces for framed displays and limited editions that echo specific milestones without altering historic badges.
Season and match magnets drive demand, notably runners in the 1998-99 era, the 1992-93 Cup Winners' Cup campaign and the 2001-02 Coppa Italia success, where shirts worn or replicated from those squads carry player associations such as Buffon, Crespo and Cannavaro. Fans chase shirts from those campaigns because of final appearances, standout scorers and the Crespo-era goal glut that defines several collector catalogs.
Iconic away kits also have their own niche, for example the 2007-08 away with its distinctive white with black cross motif, a heritage revival design that resurfaces among collectors who prize shirts used in decisive away matches as the club reasserted itself in Serie A. Condition, era-correct labelling and factory tags all influence desirability for these cross-patterned shirts.
Signed retail demand is strong; shoppers collect fanshop shirts as well as match-worn pieces, with early retail runs, player-issue variants and region-specific releases attracting signatures and provenance notes. Limited edition signed shirts with 2013 Centenario provenance and an accompanying COA are especially sought after, and listings often note player-issue differences and serial numbers. Free worldwide shipping is available on select framed and limited editions.
Provenance cues matter: collectors distinguish Parmalat-era originals from later reissues, and supplier eras such as Umbro, Lotto and Erreà are used to date shirts when paperwork is absent; derby provenance like the Derby d’Emilia, Il Tardini match photos and key fixtures add value. For example, shirts tied to the 1998-99 UEFA Cup run and the 1992-93 Cup Winners' Cup campaign, including away variations such as the white with black cross, remain central to specialist displays and guide buying choices on Walkouts.
