Have you ever seen a kit unveiling more spectacular than this?
Italy have revealed their brand new away kit in the most Italian way possible, a brilliant 3D street art mural in Bari’s Piazza del Ferrarese
The kit will be worn by Italy for the first time in their friendly against France on Thursday.
Featuring Marco Verratti, Giorgio Chiellini and captain Gianluigi Buffon, the mural was worked on for hours by the talented artists and judging by the video, the Bari natives were more than pleased with the end product.
Watch below:
“The secondary colour to the traditional white moves away from azzurri blue to navy – visible underneath the v neck collar, sleeves and bottom of the shirt with a carbon fibre sublimation print that carries an essence of speed and power,” Puma said in a statement.
“A structured jacquard graphic is derived from the FIGC crest with a dynamic chevron effect on the chest, keeping the nucleus of Italian flair but with a fresh energetic design. Longer sleeves complete the sleek and modern look.
“Furthermore, the shirt has a similar broad design to the 2006 away kit to mark the 10th anniversary of Italy winning the FIFA World Cup in Berlin.”
Italy international and Puma athlete Verratti added: “I like to see new shirts being revealed in interesting ways, through this street art we can reach our fans and give them a great experience of the Italian football team.
“The shirt is a beautiful one and the all players look forward to wearing it as we begin new challenges on the way to Russia.”
