    I am buying a italian jersey and i am stuck who to put as the last name. I want to pick a young good player with a high potential because i would like to wear the last name for a longer time. It can be anyone but perferably young or middle age players.

    Well what italian club do you like? Who's your favorite player?
    If you want a young player i would suggest Cassano (if he just wakes up he will be one hell of a soccer player).
    If you want notiriaty i would suggest Totti, Zambrotta, Nesta, or Cannavaro these some of the best players in the game.
    It's ultimatly your choice.

    From young to older:
    - De Rossi. 20. Midfielder who should feature on the team for many years.

    - Chiellini. 20. Left back who could be around for a long long time.

    - Gilardino. 22. Only worry is strikers go on and off form so easily.

    - Miccoli. 25. I HOPE he's around for a while to come.

    - Zambrotta. 27. Maybe a little older than you are looking for - but he's an ever present selection.

    I guess I'd go with De Rossi.

    I made the mistake of getting a Cassano NT jersey (before he lost it). While on some levels I feel like an idiot wearing it, I'm hoping he will bounce back. Gilardino, Pirlo, and De Rossi are younger players who will probably shine for a while.

    To be honest, do you think you're going to be wearing a jersey for more than 2-3 years? I would just pick your favorite player and have it at that. If I was to buy a jersey again I would most definitely have gotten Nesta or Zambrotta.

    Oh and a final thing, as a potential warning. You might want to make sure that the place you buy it from has the proper lettering. I bought it online and got Cassano, but it came with white lettering. The white lettering looks decent but it's not really as authentic or realistic as the standard gold. Kitbag and some other sites sell hero jerseys with the gold lettered names, I would get those to be sure.

    Oddly enough i have three ITALY Nt jerseys, two of which have a player's name.
    Alessandro NESTA #13 WC2002 jersey (Kappa)
    Gianluca ZAMBROTTA #19 Golden numebered (Puma)(FAVE player!!!)

    Love Alessandro Del Piero but i pay respect to him with a JUVE#10 already!
    Ideally i would still like to get my hands on Roberto Baggio & Paolo Maldini NT shirts (Baggio, Maldini, Del Piero, Zambrotta in chronological order of fave players!)

    If i had to give advice pick on a NT jersey, any of these would be good:-
    Gianluca Zambrotta #17
    Alessandro Nesta #13
    Fabio Cannavaro #5
    Daniele De Rossi #unknown
    Andrea Pirlo #unknown
    Gennaro Gattuso #8
    Alberto Gilardino #unknown

    But for me the next target if at all possible is a Gianluigi BUFFON #1!!!

    I didn't mean you just throw away the jersey, but most likely will replace it with a new one. Like yourself, I have a Kappa Nesta jersey my Mom got for me when she was in Italy. Not a big fan of the tight fit though. The 2005 Puma jersey is probably the best I've owned yet. It has a good design, good fit, and is very comfortable to wear.

    Also, all the people you highlighted are very good choices. The only Italy jerseys I've seen on other people are Totti and Del Piero. Also, a Buffon jersey would be freaking awesome, the dark blue especially. :D


    All this talk aside, to the original poster: you will be happy with any name you choose. :D The new jersey is probably the best yet.

    OK the BEST JERSEY that you can get is CIccio esposito. To me he is one of the brightest futures and he is extremely Versatile. You can put him on mid and striker. He is absolutely the best thing that Italy has coming to me.

    Pirlo and De Rossi are the future of the azzurri.

    Either would be a good choice they are both young.

    Esposito's first name is Mauro, not Francesco...

    And I'm suprised you didn't say Del Piero....

    He wore #8 in the recent qualifiers. There's no guarantee he'll keep that number forever.

    I'm assuming eventually he'll be wearing #4 but you can never be sure.

    Just get Pirlo. He's young enough, but he's also been featured before on the NT.




    Hahahaha!!! How about "Smart"
