What this shirt represents

FC Sion is one of the most unique clubs in Swiss football. Based in Valais, a mountainous region known for producing both hotheads and fine wines, Sion has always operated by its own rules. The 2015-16 Swiss Super League season was no exception: the club was vying for a top-of-the-table finish, with a squad mixing experienced players and new recruits from across Europe. They were a battling team, never truly favorites, always dangerous.

In this squad, Elsad Zverotic was a well-known figure in Swiss and Balkan football. A left-back born in Montenegro, naturalized Swiss, he wore the Sion shirt with the defensive rigor that suited his reputation. Around him were players like Birama Touré, Pa Modou Jagne, and Carlitos — a diverse squad that perfectly reflected the Valais club's identity, capable of both the best and constant surprises.

Moments etched into this shirt

A tense Super League season
In 2015-16, FC Sion battled fiercely in the Swiss championship against giants like FC Basel, BSC Young Boys, and FC Zurich. Every away game, in this shirt, was a pitched battle.

Errea and Sion, a rare association in Swiss football
The partnership between the Valais club and kit manufacturer Errea is not the most common in European football — which makes this shirt all the more unique for a collector. Errea's productions for Sion remain rare on the vintage market, far from the volumes of Nike or Adidas.

A Player Issue, not a retail version
This shirt was never sold in stores in this configuration. The term Player Issue means it is a piece prepared for professional players — tailored fit, reinforced finishes, flocking applied according to technical staff standards. It is a locker room piece, period.

Authentic vs Replica

An authentic Player Issue shirt is fundamentally different from a replica or even a standard match-worn item. The cut is designed for an athlete in motion, the materials breathe differently, and the flocking — name and number — is what was worn on the pitch. This is not fan memorabilia, it's professional equipment.

This one shows a condition of 9/10, which is exceptional for an item of this nature. The sponsor COHEN is clearly visible and intact, the Zverotic flocking is perfectly preserved. The wear and tear is that of an item that has seen action — not an item kept in cellophane — but it is perfectly controlled.

Vintage sizing guide

Vintage and Player Issue shirts fit differently from modern cuts. A 2XL in Errea's nomenclature of that era might correspond to a current XL depending on contemporary brands. The athletic fit of Player Issue shirts is also designed for professional physiques, often more muscular than average — which directly influences how they wear.

Before purchasing, take a measuring tape and measure your chest circumference and the back length of your usual shirt. Compare with the actual product measurements if available. This is the only reliable way to avoid unpleasant surprises when buying a vintage collector's shirt.

Why you should have it in your collection

FC Sion is massively underrepresented in international vintage shirt collections. Errea items from this generation are rare — the Valais club does not have the commercial notoriety of a Basel or a Young Boys, which paradoxically makes each shirt even rarer to find outside French-speaking Switzerland. A flocked FC Sion 2015-16 Errea Player Issue away shirt is not easy to come by.

And in 9/10 condition with the original Zverotic flocking intact? Even rarer. Collectors interested in Swiss football, alternative kit manufacturers like Errea, or simply authentic Player Issue items know how to recognize such a piece when it appears. They don't come around twice.
