Ezeta and Sorrento Calcio celebrate eight decades of club history with a kit that goes beyond mere retro tribute. The anniversary shirt, unveiled through the campaign Sorrento, Worn Over Time, fuses design, local craftsmanship, and documentary storytelling into a living piece of football culture.
Design Rooted in a Historic Promotion Kit
The jersey’s central inspiration comes from the 1970/71 away strip, worn when Sorrento earned their first promotion to Serie B. That original shirt featured a clean white base with a bold red-and-black diagonal sash. Ezeta revives that distinctive sash but reinterprets it through the diamond motif found in the Sorrento crest — a symbol closely tied to both the club and the city of Sorrento. The result is a pattern that feels like history filtered through identity, not a direct copy.
Subtle Details That Speak to Place
Beyond the sash, the fabric incorporates tone-on-tone wooden inlays, a quiet reference to Sorrento’s long artisan woodworking tradition. The collar carries the club’s founding date on the inside, while a bespoke crest merges the number 80 with the five diamonds — linking the club’s past and present. The shirt is available in both white and black editions.
Campaign Bridges Technology and Authenticity
Ezeta presented the jersey through two distinct approaches. One used AI to imagine the 1970s squad wearing the new anniversary kit. The other — the heart of the campaign — took an editorial, documentary-led path that places people and the city at the centre. Instead of leading with the product, the narrative starts with the long relationship between Sorrento Calcio and its community.
Giuseppe Romano’s Visual Storytelling
Photographer Giuseppe Romano captured the campaign with a patient, observational eye. The images move through Sorrento, following gestures, routines, and everyday locations. The jersey appears naturally within these scenes — worn rather than staged — letting time and place speak for themselves.
Collaborative Creative Direction
The project grew from Ezeta’s desire to treat the anniversary as more than a design exercise. Working with Magliofili and Sportmediahouse, the creative direction shaped a cohesive editorial story that amplifies the jersey’s design language and its cultural significance.
Real Locations, Real People
Rather than building the story in a studio, the team walked Sorrento’s streets, knocked on workshop doors, and stepped into shops and daily spaces. Locals were invited to share what the city means to them — and to wear a jersey that speaks to 80 years of belonging, memory, and identity.
A Jersey Embedded in Daily Life
The final shirt feels alive, not preserved behind glass. It appears in work, routine, effort, and joy. The people wearing it are not models but protagonists — spanning different ages and shared moments that suggest continuity rather than neat generational divides.
The City Becomes Part of the Fabric
Iconic and ordinary locations blend into the narrative, never acting as a simple backdrop. Sorrento does not frame the jersey — it wears it. In a football culture often obsessed with exact retro replication, this anniversary kit offers a different kind of legacy: one that is remembered through lived experience, and most importantly, worn over time.
