Paying homage to an icon, Patta has come together with iconic Italian sportswear brand NR Ennerre to produce the No.10 Football Jersey, which is inspired by the kit Italian football club Naples wore during their 88-89 season, the year they won the UEFA Cup, guided by the legendary Diego Armando Maradona.
Founded by ex-football player Nicola Raccuglia, NR was technical sponsor of numerous Italian football teams in the 80s, and is known for its exceptional Made-in-Italy quality. The NR x Patta No. 10 Football Jersey is fabricated in the authentic NR way, out of the highest quality acrylic material. As such, it only comes in two sizes, with its stretchy character ensuring the one size will fit S, M & L, and the other XL and XXL. Best be sucking in that lockdown gut.
The front of the jersey sees the classic 'Mars' sponsor replaced with Patta branding, and features NR embroidered appliqué as well as a Patta Panther patch in place of a traditional club crest. The back of the shirt is decorated with iconic and eponymous number 10 in white fabric, sewn on with a zig zag stitch.
Maradona, 58, is a legend among the people of Naples having led them to two league titles, the Coppa Italia and Uefa Cup. He left the Italian side after seven years in 1991 and the club later retired his shirt number in his honour.
The NR x Patta Nr. 10 Jersey will be available on the Patta app on Wednesday June 10th as a pre-release, and will land at Patta Amsterdam, Milan and their online store on Friday June 12th at 13:00 CEST.
