Roberto Baggio Signed Bologna FC Home Shirt (1997/1998)

This official Bologna FC home shirt from the 1997/1998 season captures one of the most defining chapters in Roberto Baggio’s late career: the year he returned to the summit of European football and reaffirmed his status as a generational No.10. In Bologna’s iconic red-and-blue livery, produced by Diadora with the period-correct Granarolo front sponsor and Lega Calcio sleeve patch, it is a precise snapshot of Serie A’s most romantic era—when individual brilliance could reshape an entire season.

The reverse features “BAGGIO” and the number 10, accompanied by Baggio’s original autograph with the dedication “Il Divin Codino,” the nickname that has become inseparable from his cultural legacy in Italian football. The shirt shows signs of use consistent with team or match context, a desirable characteristic in vintage football memorabilia where honest wear often supports period authenticity. Collectors gravitate strongly toward pieces tied to Baggio’s Bologna renaissance—22 Serie A goals and a historic European qualification—because they represent both peak performance and narrative significance. Comparable Baggio signed shirts have appeared at auction in the €5,000–€12,000 range, with match-issued or match-worn examples from Italian clubs reaching €15,000+ depending on provenance and attribution, underscoring the sustained international demand for elite 1990s Serie A No.10 memorabilia.
