Francesco Totti signed this Associazione Sportiva Roma 2016-17 Home Player Issued shirt, bearing the number 10, on 27 May 2024 in Italy; the signing is documented under Walkouts signing proof code 24FTO20011810 and authenticated by Photo Proof. The shirt is a player-issued garment from Totti's final season at the club, presented in a Luxury Gift Box, and sourced directly through Francesco Totti's personal network as part of its verified history.
The Final Season, the Number 10, and What It Means
Francesco Totti spent his entire professional career at Associazione Sportiva Roma, making over six hundred Serie A appearances for the club and captaining it for more than a decade. The 2016-17 season was his last. He retired on 28 May 2017, the day after this shirt was signed, having worn the number 10 shirt at the Stadio Olimpico for twenty-five years. A player-issued shirt from that final campaign, bearing the number he made synonymous with the club, is not a seasonal collectible. It is the closing document of one of the longest and most celebrated one-club careers in the history of association football.
The Player Issued Specification
A player-issued shirt is a garment prepared to match specification and issued directly to the player, identical in construction to the shirt worn during competitive fixtures. It is not a retail release and not a replica. Player-issued shirts carry the same performance fabric, printing, and badge construction as the on-pitch garment, and their provenance runs directly from the club's kit room to the player. This shirt was sourced through Francesco Totti's personal network, giving it a chain of custody that begins at the source.
The Shirt in Detail
The Associazione Sportiva Roma 2016-17 home shirt carries the deep red identity of the club, the colourway worn at the Stadio Olimpico across Totti's final Serie A season. The shirt bears the number 10, the squad number Totti wore throughout his career at Roma. The signature of Francesco Totti appears on the shirt as captured in the signing proof photography from 27 May 2024 in Italy. For full detail on signature placement and ink, the signing proof imagery is available under code 24FTO20011810.
