The largest single category here is training gear, ahead of home shirts, away shirts and jackets. Roughly one item in three is warm-up or tracksuit kit rather than something worn in a league fixture.
The range reaches back to around 1990 and covers both the club’s Serie A and Serie B periods. The red and blue halved home shirt is the most recognisable line and the best supplied of the match shirts.
Nothing here reaches the club’s one great season — see below — so treat this as a modern range rather than a historic one.
Founded in 1920, Cagliari won their only Scudetto in 1969-70, led by Gigi Riva, still the all-time leading scorer for the Italian national team. It was the first championship won by a club from south of Rome, and it remains the defining moment in Sardinian football.
Their best European run came in the 1993-94 UEFA Cup, reaching the semi-finals before losing to eventual winners Internazionale. Shirts from that campaign are the most sought after part of the range.
Grades run 1-10 and cover fabric wear, print condition and sponsor application.
Italian sizing from this era runs narrower than English equivalents from the same years. Check the listed size rather than assuming it matches a modern fit.
