A.S.D. Castelfranco Stella Rossa 2015/16 Home Shirt

Long sleeves, green and white hoops, white cuffs and collar with gold piping, the same classic Errea template that had already dressed Virtus Bitritto that same season, proof that the same Parma factory dressed neighbourhood clubs at opposite ends of Italy. The crest carries the full name, A.S.D. Castelfranco Stella Rossa, with a town coat of arms beneath it, and the sponsor TFL fills the centre of the chest with a tricolour ribbon alongside the logo, likely a local transport or logistics firm. On the back, a black number 6 for a central midfielder, with the wear of someone who genuinely played in it. It is the twin shirt to the Bitritto piece in this collection, both from 2015/16, both by Errea, both long sleeved, yet born over 700 kilometres apart, one in deep Salento in Puglia, the other on the border between Modena and Bologna, birthplace of the tortellino. Green and white hoops keep turning up in the unlikeliest corners of Italy.
