Nike and AS Roma have revisited the club\u2019s iconic colors to create the 2020\/21 home kit \u2014 and one that is uniquely, unmistakably and gloriously Giallorosso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This summer marks 40 years since the club\u2019s victory in the 1980 Coppa Italia competition. That triumph marked an end to a memorable two-year period when the club wore the famous and distinctive gradient kit (known affectionately as the “ghiacciolo,” or ice pop), which was a beloved creation of the late Piero Gratton, the father of the Lupetto badge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the upcoming 2020\/21 domestic and European seasons, Roma players will wear a new kit that takes inspiration from that iconic design, displaying horizontal Giallorossi stripes across the chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice to see a shirt that features Roma\u2019s iconic colors in such an original design,\u201d said midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini. \u201cTo wear a shirt inspired by such a famous kit from the club\u2019s past will be special for both the team and the supporters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roma\u2019s new home kit includes the traditional deep red shirt, shorts and socks. The horizontal stripes stretching across the chest start in yellow and scale upward through orange to red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a modern interpretation of one of Roma\u2019s most famous and unconventional kits ever,\u201d said Scott Munson, VP Nike Football Apparel. \u201cWe\u2019ve taken a linear gradient striped design, using a very traditional club color palette, to create a kit that we hope the team and supporters will wear with great pride.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design of the AS Roma 20\/21 Nike home jersey is topped by a dark red panel that runs from shoulder to shoulder and encompasses a crew neck collar. The same dark red appears on the trim of the sleeves and on stripes that run down the sides of the torso. A white squad number and yellow detailing appear on the shorts, while the deep red socks are topped with colored hoops to match the shirt design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
