Remembering Alessandro Del Piero: A Nod to 2000s Italian Soccer Fandom

Jackie shared a piece of memorabilia from her study abroad days: an Italian national team jersey. The jersey was a nod to the soccer player Alessandro Del Piero, whom she and her roommate Kristen Muir recall fondly from their time in Italy.

“But then, like right before I got on this call, I was like, Oh my gosh, I have my jersey. So I'm wearing my, like, knockoff, you know, cuz they're all like fake jerseys that you get. But this is from the Italian national team. Um, this is number seven, which was Alessandro Del Piero. Do you remember that name?”

“I love that you remember that so clearly. It's incredible. This guy had the most amazing hair. Like, I don't know if you remember that there was a person on, I think he might have. Gosh. Anyway, I'm just like remembering this full head of hair. Like, yeah, this is why I liked that guy.”
