Unlike several Italian clubs in this catalogue, match kit clearly dominates here: home shirts lead by a wide margin, with away shirts, training pieces and shorts behind them.
The range reaches back to the late 1980s. The red and blue halved home shirt is Italy’s oldest club colourway still in use, and with a deep run across three and a half decades you can see how the design has shifted between manufacturers.
The lower end of the range covers recent, widely produced seasons; the upper end is early-1990s stock, which appears far less often.
Established in 1893, Genoa Cricket and Football Club is the oldest surviving football team in Italy. The club has won the Italian championship nine times — the first being Italy’s inaugural national title in 1898, the last after the 1923-24 season — plus one Coppa Italia.
That makes Genoa the fourth most successful Italian club by championships won, even though all of those titles predate the Second World War. Il Grifone, the griffin, comes from the city’s coat of arms.
The 1-10 grade covers wear only. It does not describe fit or authenticity.
Where a listing is marked Player Issue, the shirt was prepared for the first-team squad rather than sold in shops — a tighter cut, occasionally with different collar or sleeve finishing.
