Here are the freshly unveiled Juventus home and away Nike kits for 2009/10 Serie A season. Amauri, Trezeguet, Del Piero and the rest of the team will wear these strips as they try to reclaim the Serie A title next season.
Once again, it looks like retro is the way to go for Nike. The n 09/10 away kit is definitely different from anything we’ve ever seen Juve wear before but it seems to work in an odd almost South American camiseta way.
Also included below is a video from the official Juventus kit presentation held earlier today. Our leak was right!
Here’s the spiel on the new kit from Juventus’ English language site:
On the eve of the team’s departure to the summer camp in Pinzolo, the new jerseys for the 2009-2010 season were launched. The event, organized at the OGR (Officine Grandi Riparazioni), a suggestive location in the centre of Turin, saw the participation of general manager Jean-Claude Blanc and coach Ciro Ferrara while the jerseys were worn by the protagonists: Manninger, Amauri, Diego and Sissoko. Nike Italia was represented by general manager Andrea Rossi who illustrated the innovations especially with regards to the second or away jersey.
Both jerseys refer to the history of the club. The first jersey, in particular, has narrower black and white stripes and brings to mind the jersey worn by the protagonists of the Quinquennio (1930-1935) when Juventus on 5 consecutive scudetti. The shorts are white with a lateral black and white stripe while the socks, white too, have a subtle black line with “Juventus” printed on the calf.
The second jersey is the true novelty for the season. Built around the famous sentence pronounced by Giovanni Agnelli before the Champions League final against Ajax in 1996 («If they are a team of Flemish painters we will be tough Piemontese») these are the innovations: a jersey the colour of steel with a black and white line in front. The shorts are black with a lateral line of the same colour. The socks are black with Juventus written in grey on the calf.
