Description
Juventus match worn shirt by Alex Del Piero in the Serie A match played against Inter on 3th Dicember, 2000/01 season.
The shirt stands out for an absolutely unique detail, confirmed by the photo match: on the back, the champion’s name is not displayed in the usual format, but with the letters applied individually, spaced evenly: D - E - L - P - I - E - R - O.
This peculiarity can be observed both on the jersey worn during the match and on the one now offered at auction, with the exact same spacing. An application anomaly that makes the jersey even rarer and truly one of a kind.
On December 3rd, 2000, under the electric sky of San Siro, the 69th Derby d’Italia took place. Juventus versus Inter, matchday nine of the Serie A season. Ancelotti’s Juventus were chasing league leaders Roma, while Tardelli’s Inter were deep in crisis, with a bench on shaky ground.
In front of 75,000 spectators, Juventus started with fire in their veins. Within ten minutes, they were already up 2–0, thanks to goals from Trezeguet and a powerful strike from Zidane. Alessandro Del Piero didn’t score, but he was at the heart of the action, the first goal began with a perfect exchange between him and Zidane, and throughout the match he played with generosity, building moves, creating chances, and always looking for a spark.
But Inter didn’t give up. Blanc pulled one back, and Di Biagio later equalised. A 2–2 draw that sparked controversy: disputed goals, rising tension, and a missed punch from Montero. Juventus lost the chance to close in on Roma, but the real legacy of that night went beyond the scoreline.
Because that evening, Del Piero wore a different shirt — a unique one. On the back, his name wasn’t printed in the usual way. Instead, the letters were applied individually, evenly spaced: D - E - L - P - I - E - R - O This detail is clearly visible in the photo match analysis by the experts at Memorabid.
Was it a mistake? Maybe. But it also became an unconscious symbol, a clue.
Because during that very season, Alessandro Del Piero was preparing to become captain. A few months later, in 2001, he would officially inherit the armband, beginning a journey that lasted over a decade, filled with goals, finals, setbacks, comebacks, and an unbreakable bond with the shirt.
That “wrong” jersey seems to tell the story before it even began, a name taking shape, an identity stepping into history.
The Derby d’Italia of 2000 was just one chapter in a bittersweet season, which ended with Juventus finishing second and Ancelotti departing. But for Del Piero, it was a turning point: from vice-captain to future icon, from gifted player to club symbol. Today, that jersey is a rare piece, highly prized by collectors.
The shirt on display is also a metaphor stitched into fabric: representing a Juventus in transition, and a young man named D-E-L-P-I-E-R-O who was becoming the face of the club’s next great era.
This memorabilia is part of the match supply made available to players during official competitions and is different in its features in relation to the ones sold in fanshops.
