Napoli 2019-2020 Third Shirt - Mertens No.14 (S)

📐 Flat measurements

Note that this is a Kappa Kombat cut: the fabric is stretchy and the shirt is designed to be worn close to the body, with a short length (68 cm). Lay a shirt that fits you well flat, measure it the same way and compare before ordering.

One thing to flag: a tiny brownish mark just above the hem, at the bottom of the shirt (visible in photo 6, heavily zoomed). It is two or three millimetres across and disappears completely into the grey pixel pattern when worn. Otherwise: the grey dot pattern is perfectly crisp, with no blurred areas. The red of the Lete panel and the navy of the MSC one show no cracking, nor does the KIMBO on the back. The MERTENS 14 print is flawless, including the miniature N crests inside the numbers. Applied SSC Napoli crest intact, Champions League and RESPECT patches perfectly bonded, collar with no stretching, no pilling.

Unsure about the size? This Kombat cut is close-fitting and short (48 x 68 cm): compare the flat measurements above, or check my sizing guide.

✦ Authenticity guaranteed for life

Item checked by hand in my authentication workshop. If an item bought from me is ever identified as a unofficial piece, I refund it in full. Guarantee with no expiry date.

• Full Kappa label photographed (photo 4): style 304NYL0, colour 965, size S, model “KOMBAT EXTRA NAPOLI”, factory number 18548 and lot 4057379. Kappa prints far more information than most kit makers — an incomplete label is an immediate red flag
• The pixel pattern is dyed into the knit, not screen-printed: it reappears as a faded negative on the reverse, and the fabric keeps its stretch everywhere
• The SSC Napoli crest is an applied, stitched badge (photo 3), with a raised white “N” on sky blue and an even navy outline. Unofficial pieces print it flat
• Starball and RESPECT on the sleeves: the Champions League night configuration, distinct from the Serie A version
• Real photos of the exact item sold, never stock images — full method in my authentication guide

📖 The season Mertens entered Napoli's history

A 1.69 m Belgian forward becoming the all-time top scorer of a century-old Italian club: Dries Mertens's spell in Naples is one of the great recent Serie A stories. This shirt comes from the season it all happened.

🎯 The club's all-time top scorer. It was during this 2019-2020 season that Mertens passed Napoli's goalscoring record, previously held by Marek Hamšík.

🏆 Coppa Italia winners in 2020. Napoli beat Juventus in the final on penalties in June 2020. The club's last trophy before the 2023 Scudetto.

🌍 A European campaign. The sleeve patches date the shirt to that season's Champions League nights, including the last-16 tie against Barcelona.

🎨 A third Kappa never revisited — white shot through with a digital camouflage of grey dots, with sky blue shoulders. A piece you recognise from ten metres away, and one that barely circulates outside Italy.
