Adidas and FIGC unveiled today the new Home Kit for the Italian National Football Team for upcoming international fixtures. The new jersey displays both Italy’s visual identity and its historical traditions, showcasing them through a modern, contemporary aesthetic. The design represents a free-spirited style of play and new footballing perspectives, striving to connect all generations of fans.

The ‘Azzurra’ is a reflection of Italy at its core, its rich footballing heritage, and cultural values unique to Italian history. The kit features details that call on the legendary story of the World Cup and the Azzurri’s near two-decade triumph on the night in Berlin.

The blue base of Italy’s Home jersey is embellished with a repeated graphic pattern inspired by laurel crowns, once worn by athletes and emperors in the Roman Empire to symbolise victory and glory. The use of gold on the shoulders and in the detailing is a nod to the golden eras of Italian football.

The jersey also features a new design of the adidas lenticular logo, here in a golden version, applied with a heat-transfer process, creating a unique effect. It slightly alters the logo’s appearance while adding a bold and innovative visual detail.

On the back of the collar, the word ‘Azzurra’ honours an iconic jersey recognised globally as a symbol of Italian sport.

Built for peak performance, the jersey is designed to support world-class players in high-pressure situations, throughout all weather conditions.

Designed for extreme heat and intensity, the mechanically engineered 3D stretch fabrics, tailored to the body and featuring adidas’ latest CLIMACOOL+ technology, accelerate sweat evaporation, ensuring players stay dry and comfortable. Large perforated stripes allow for maximum breathability, and strategically placed mesh vents on both the fabric and trims ensure the greatest airflow, to ensure optimal ventilation even in the most demanding weather conditions.

Italy’s Home Kit will be available from 10:00 AM CET tomorrow, Thursday, 6 November, at adidas stores, selected retailers, FIGC shops, and online at adidas.it and figc.it.
