1946 Unione Calcio Sampdoria, based in Genoa, Italy, are traditionally associated with Serie A and a kit celebrated for its central bands. The club, founded on 1 January 1946, is represented here with a balanced mix of history and collector interest, and Walkouts lists signed shirts and framed pieces that reflect that story for fans and archivists alike.
Sampdoria was formed from the merger of Sampierdarenese and Andrea Doria, the blending visible in the shirt colours and the enduring nickname blucerchiati. Home fixtures are played at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, a stadium shared in civic lore and the stage for the Derby della Lanterna, the city rivalry that sharpens provenance for derby-worn shirts and match issues.
The modern trophy cabinet includes one Scudetto, secured in 1991, and a notable European triumph, the Cup Winners' Cup 1990. Sampdoria also reached the European Cup final in 1992 at Wembley, losing to Barcelona after extra time, moments that make shirts from those campaigns especially sought after. The club is listed in international metrics and appears at a recognised IFFHS placing among global clubs.
Collectors value both match-worn items and retail releases; signed fanshop shirts are actively collected alongside match-issued jerseys. Early retail runs and player-issue variants, plus region-specific releases during supplier eras, are documented by provenance and often appear with supporting images. Free worldwide shipping is available on select items.
Iconic seasons and kit stories inform demand. The late 1980s and early 1990s, including the 1989-90 Cup Winners' Cup run and the 1990-91 title season, produced shirts with strong collector appeal, while away sets from the European Cup campaigns are prized for their tournament associations. Derby provenance from the Derby della Lanterna also elevates interest in specific match examples and authenticated signatures from that era.
Anniversary releases play a clear part in retail desirability, notably the 2016, 70 anni commemorative detail that referenced the club’s postwar origins, and key campaign shirts such as the 1990-91, Serie A, title season remain magnets for collectors because of their link to domestic success and player rosters of the period.
Away shirts carry particular narrative weight, especially the white, European Cup 1991-92 away set tied to the run to the Wembley final, and many signed retail items are offered with a COA to assist provenance. Walkouts closes its Sampdoria selection with pieces from the 1989-90 Cup Winners' Cup and the 1990-91 Scudetto campaign, and these seasons and matches are central to the pages of club collecting.
