Sonny’s StyleWatch: New Italian Serie A Jerseys
Posted by sonny on August 16, 2007The roundup on the newest soccer jerseys in Europe will conclude today with a preview of the fresh new jerseys from the Italian Serie A. It has become almost a ritual for club teams to get a new jersey every year, making it harder for fans to keep up with the new styles. I featured the new English Premiership jerseys and Spanish La Liga shirts during the past couple of weeks. But this week, our focus will be on the new jerseys of AC Milan, Inter Milan, AS Roma and Juventus.
Beginning with the current Serie A champions, Inter Milan will have new home and away jerseys this year. The home kit features the traditional black and blue stripes, but the new away jersey (right) is where it’s at. You are probably thinking why the new Inter away shirt has a huge British flag smacked on it? However the red cross is reflective upon the coat of arms for the city of Milan.
Staying in the same stadium but moving to Inter’s rivals, AC Milan have also added a pair of unique kits. The new away jersey remains similar to last year’s, but there is no design going down the side of the shirt. The new home shirt, on the other hand, includes the traditional red and black stripes. But this year, the stripes are much thinner when you compare them to last year’s. From the stands, it will not look like AC Milan have a totally different style but up close, it is easy to see the smaller stripes.
Coppa Italia winners from last year, AS Roma will also have some new shirts this season. Roma’s new shirt will feature the Italian bullseye, worn by the team that won the Coppa Italia the previous year. The new kit, which is made by kappa, will feature the signature logo on the sleeves. A promotion back to Serie A warrants new jerseys in Turin this year. That’s right, Juventus will be adding some new jerseys to their wardrobe this season. The new home jersey will have thicker stripes from last year’s version and the club will also sport a blue and yellow alternate. In addition, Juventus will also continue to wear their black away jersey this year.

No I’m not! Because there isn’t one, that’s St.George’s cross, a popular saint all over Europe - coincedently patron saint of England (not G.Britain). And if you’ve ever seen an Alfa Romeo, you may have noticed the same cross perched on the emblem.

Actually that is the flag of Genoa Italy which is where the stupid ass British stole it during the middle ages so they wouldn’t get their ass killed by Genovese soldiers when they sailed into port. People are so ignorant. That’s ok because in our modern day the british soccer fans get their ass killed by Italian and German police alike so we’re all happy.

Hey Know-All Dopus,
There were no ‘British’ in the middle ages only English. ‘Britain’ is a political entity which arrived in 1707. Englands St Georges flag, predates the copying/stealing Genoese by a few hundred years.
How’s the cheating fraudulent Serie A getting on this year?
Idiota!
