Sampdoria Football Shirts

Sampdoria Football Kits

Based in Genoa, Sampdoria were formed in 1946 and are formally known as Unione Calcio Sampdoria SpA. In recent years, Sampdoria have yo-yoed between Serie A and Serie B but remain a very popular team with football fans who grew up watching Football Italia coverage in the early 90’s.

Sampdoria play in a distinctive blue home shirt which features white, red and black horizontal stripes across the chest and is worn with white shorts and white socks. The away kit is generally a reverse of the home shirt with white the predominant colour the the 3^rd kit is most commonly navy.

The most famous Sampdoria football shirt was from the 1990-91 season when the club won their first and only Serie A title. Having never finished above 4^th placed in Serie A, Sampdoria were underdogs in the extreme against the Dutch-inspired AC Milan and an Inter Milan side comprising World Cup winners Andreas Brehme, Lothar Matthaus and Jurggen Klinsmann.

However, funded by the oil money of Paolo Mantovani, Sampdoria built a strong side including strikers Gianluca Vialli and Roberto Mancini and the enigmatic winger Atillio Lombardo.

The following season, Sampdoria took on Barcelona at Wembley, but unfortunately lost the game 1-0. However, it is a period in the clubs history which has ensured that sales of Sampdoria shirts are still popular to this day.

Although the club have not been able to replicate the success of the early 90’s as they struggle to compete financially with the main players, they have managed to attract a number of quality players, most notably Antonio Cassano who managed to feature in our top 10 sellers of Serie A player shirts during his time with the Blucerchiati.

After a number of years being sponsored by Kappa, Sampdoria switched to Joma who took over the manufacture of Sampdoria replica kits as well as the training range which includes tracksuits, polo shirts, t-shirts and training jerseys.
