Juventus Nike 2011/12 Home and Away Kits / Maglie

Twenty seven-time Italian Serie A champions Juventus FC have officially launched their Nike 2011/12 home and away kits. Last season’s 7th place league finishers unveiled their new match attire via a press conference at their new stadium, their website and Facebook page on Wednesday. Both are now available at the World Soccer Shop, Onionbag and Subside Sports Juventus stores.

The new kits will be used for the first time during Juve’s pre-season which includes matches against Sporting Clube de Portugal and Club America in Canada and the USA respectively.

According to the Juventus website:

Juventus will wear a shirt with a futuristic look which looks to signal the start of a new era. It features a reinterpreted version of the iconic black and white stripes to guarantee a 3D effect. ‘Juventus’ is written on the back of the shirt, whilst ‘Forza Juve’ is written on the back of the badge. The shorts are white, with a hint of black at the tip, along with white socks and a ‘J’ written on the calf.

The Bianconeri’s away shirt is bright pink, dominated by a star, signalling a return to tradition. Following the foundation of the club in 1897, Juventus wore pink coloured shirts with black shorts for six years before switching to the traditional black and white stripes.

The body, the sleeves and the neck are pink with a large black star weaving from the neck down to the waist. The shorts are black, while the socks are completely black except for a small ‘J’ on the calf.

The fabric is comprised of recyclable materials, Nike Dri-FIT and an aerodynamic design.

The new shirts are made entirely with Nike’s innovate recycled polyester: each one is produced directly from the recycling of fourteen plastic water bottles. The strips also actively contribute to the regulation of athlete’s body temperature on the pitch thanks to the Nike Dri-FIT fabric. The shirts contain a new aerodynamic fit, now more slender, which offers 17% more elasticity than the previous shirt.
