History

Fiorentina were relegated to Serie B at the end of 1992/93, finishing one point from safety, and the city took it badly. Batistuta could have left for almost any club in Europe and chose to stay, scoring sixteen goals in Serie B the following season as Fiorentina went straight back up. That decision is why he still has a statue outside the stadium, and it is what makes shirts from this exact season meaningful rather than just old.

FAQ

Is this an original 1992/93 shirt?
Yes. It is an original Lotto Fiorentina shirt from the period, not a modern reissue.

Was the Batistuta print applied by you?
No. The nameset was already in place when we purchased the shirt.

What condition is it in?
9/10. Mint on our scale, as new with no imperfections but without tags, which is unusual for a shirt of this age.
