The 2006/07 season is one of the most significant in the history of Empoli FC: the Tuscan club completed an extraordinary Serie A campaign that led them to qualify for the UEFA Cup—one of the most important milestones in their history—consolidating a serious sporting project in a town of barely 50,000 inhabitants that competed on equal terms with clubs with much larger budgets. Asics, the Japanese brand that outfitted Empoli during that period, created a clean and classic blue kit featuring the sponsors Frutta—the historic main sponsor of the Tuscan club, one of the most recognizable sponsor-club partnerships in Italian provincial football—and Computer Gross, an Italian technology distribution company based in Empoli and the club's secondary sponsor. The detail of the Italian flag on the collar and the "Empoli F.C." embroidery on the nape are official team-issue finishes that identify this football shirt as a real player-worn piece, with the #6 heat-applied on the back confirming its use in a friendly match. An archival piece of Italian provincial football at its historical peak.
