Shirt condition
As new (without tags)
Flawless. The orange is vivid, with no faded area — which matters on a colour this bright. The black marbled pattern is perfectly defined, the black collar has kept all its hold, the CHIESA No.22 printing and the UEFA patches show no sign of lifting. No holes, no stains, no pilling. It simply no longer has its cardboard tags.

100% AUTHENTIC
✦ Authenticity guaranteed for life
Every piece is checked by hand in my authentication workshop. If a shirt bought from me is ever identified as a unofficial, I refund it in full. No expiry date on that guarantee.
- Original adidas inner label photographed (photo 4): reference GE4856 and production date 04/20 — April 2020, exactly the manufacturing window for the Juventus 2020-2021 third
- Juventus "J" logo embroidered in white, topped by the club's three stars: dense embroidery, sharp edges (photo 3) — unofficial pieces bleed on the star points
- UEFA Champions League starball and RESPECT patches on the sleeves: European configuration, more sought-after than the Serie A version
- CHIESA No.22 printing in the club's official font, with the same marbled pattern printed inside the digits and the Juventus crests at their base (photo 5) — the hardest detail to reproduce on this model
- Real photos of the exact shirt for sale, never stock images — full method in my authentication guide
🛠️ Workshop note — On this third my main test is the printing: the digits must be filled with the same marbled pattern as the shirt, in a continuous gradient. Unofficial pieces apply a plain black number or a crude pattern. Here the texture is present and consistent (photo 5).
📖 2020-2021: the year Chiesa arrived in Turin
Juventus in orange. That alone is an event for a club whose identity fits into two colours. This marbled third, one of the boldest the Vecchia Signora has ever worn, belongs to a pivotal season — and to the arrival of a player who would become a European champion a few months later.
📅 October 2020 — Chiesa leaves Fiorentina for Juventus. A transfer heavy with symbolism between two rival clubs. He took the number 22 and immediately established himself as one of Turin's best performers.
📅 19 May 2021 — Juventus 2-1 Atalanta, Coppa Italia final. The season's only major trophy, won in a year when Juve finished 4th in Serie A and saw their run of nine consecutive Scudetti come to an end.
📅 July 2021 — European champion with Italy. Weeks after this season, Chiesa was one of the architects of Italy's Euro triumph, including a goal in the semi-final against Spain. This shirt immediately precedes his breakthrough.
👑 A design that left a mark — lava orange, black marbling, white three-star J: this third is among the most recognisable shirts of the adidas era in Turin, and one of the few you can wear as easily in town as at the stadium.
❓ Frequently asked questions about this shirt
Is this Juventus shirt authentic?
Yes. The adidas label photographed (photo 4) carries reference GE4856 and the date 04/20, consistent with the Juventus 2020-2021 third. Add the embroidered three-star J logo, the correct UEFA patches and the marbled printing with integrated crests. Guaranteed for life.
What do the three stars represent?
In Italy, one star above the crest represents ten league titles. Juventus's three stars therefore correspond to thirty Scudetti — no other Italian club wears as many.
What do the sleeve patches mean?
The starball is the official UEFA Champions League badge, with the "RESPECT" patch on the other sleeve. This is the configuration worn in European competition, not in Serie A — the version collectors look for.
Has the orange faded?
No, and that is this piece's strong point. Bright colours are the first to suffer from repeated washing: here the orange is still true and the marbling perfectly contrasted. Hence the 10/10 rating.
How does this M fit?
Measured flat: 52 cm pit to pit and 75 cm long. A modern adidas M, fairly fitted. If you wear a M and like a relaxed fit, size up.
