Italy: home of the Renaissance, football, style and Andrea Pirlo.
Unfortunately, we can’t crowbar the first into a story about Italy’s new training gear for Euros this summer the but the last three certainly apply – and how.
We already knew the Euro 2016 away kit in particular was something of a work of art (much like a Renaissance painting…No? Fine…), but there’s so much more.
There’s the training jersey that the players will wear in France this summer.
If it gets a little nippy, the likes of Claudio Marchisio and Marco Verratti will be donning this stylish number.
It gets better. Even better.
The official Italian fleece shows that they really do know about style.
Whilst their diving stadium jacket is just a scintillating cream on top of all the gorgeous crop.
It definitely beats England’s unfortunate new ensemble for their Euro 2016 kit but we’re just mostly upset that the Italians are our direct competition for a place in the second round.
Style or loyalty?
