Made in classic Puma style, this shirt makes for the classic medium fit, or also for someone who wears size small, and likes a baggier fit.

DESCRIPTION:

Entering Euro 2008 as the reigning champions of the world; Italy were equipped with a beautiful blue and gold ensemble ahead of the big tournament in Austria and Switzerland. Puma experimented with some new conventions; namely the mesh exterior material of the shirt, the felt crest and the rubber Puma logos, altogether registering yet another fine offering from German manufacture in their ‘Azzurri’ pantheon. Interestingly, this shirt was shelved for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, only to be restored for the rest of 2009.

The notable players that season(s) were:

Antonio Di Natale, Antonio Cassano, Luca Toni, Alessandro Del Piero, Francesco Totti, Fabio Quagliarella, Mauro Camoranesi, Alberto Aquilani, Simone Perotta, Massimo Ambrosini, Daniele de Rossi, Gennaro Gattuso, Andrea Pirlo, Fabio Grosso, Alessandro Nesta, Christian Panucci, Gianluca Zambrotta, Andrea Barzagli, Gianluigi Buffon, Marco Amelia, Morgan De Sanctis
