PIC: Roma’s new jersey doubles up as stylish and a history lesson

Them clever Italians

Kevin McGillicuddy

Da Vinci himself would smile at this design

When is a jersey not a jersey?

When it’s a fecking map of the heart of the Old Roman Empire that’s what.

AS Roma consistently produce some of the most beautiful jerseys year-on-year.

It’s what you’d expect from every piece of fine Italian tailoring.

A good cut, nice fit and shorts designed to make your glutus maximus swell to Kim Kardashian proportions.

So we’re taking off our Armani hat and our Gucci shorts in tribute to the latest version from Nike that contains detail of

“the architectural wonders, streets and oldest districts of Rome as seen from above”

Nike sure do know how to sell up a design feature that we’d love to see on some other jerseys,

‘The away kit both celebrates and consolidates the deep bond between the age-old history of the Eternal City and the club itself.’

White doesn’t always suit the Irish complexion but we’re going to make an exception in this case.
