For the anniversary of Gigi Buffon’s debut, Parma Calcio 1913 and Errea Sport decided to pay tribute to the goalkeeper through the creation of a commemorative shirt, giving the jersey worn by him in Parma v AC Milan on 19 November 1995 a modern twist.
The shirt contains three special details, with a reference to the ‘90s being clearly visible.
First, there are red stripes on a white background on the shoulders, from which a black panel runs to the middle. Below this, a second white and red glitch-style pattern begins.

The same colours are repeated on the front of the shirt – white on the upper part and red below – which join together in the middle to create a third and final dotted effect.
The collar, meanwhile, is an unusual shape – a combination of a round neck design and one which is typically used for polo shirts.
Furthermore, "1995-2021" has been inscribed, which is another particularly interesting feature.
The special jersey will be worn by Buffon during Parma vs. Cosenza on Sunday 21 November 2021.
It will go on sale from today at a price of €119 and come in a special box, inspired by the jersey itself, containing the jersey as well as a signed picture of Buffon in the 1995/96 season wearing the iconic debut jersey.
