Andrea Pirlo would look great in this.

Sorry, did we say that out loud?

While the Italian playmaker is sporting the boring sky blue of New York City FC, his former teammates are going to be kitted out in a glorious new strip for the start of the 2016/17 season.

Juventus, fresh from the confirmation of their fifth consecutive Serie A title, are set to make a significant change to their home kit as they aim to make it six in a row.

Fans of the equal black and white stripes typically associated with the Old Lady will be shocked to learn that next season’s home jersey actually features just two white stripes on the midriff and three blocks of bold black with white pinstripes slicing through.

While the back of the shirt is white-heavy, black actually dominates the whole kit as Juve are set to abandon the white shorts and socks combination that Paul Pogba & Co. are currently wearing.

In images leaked from reliable football kit website FootyHeadlines, we can see that Juventus will switch to black shorts and socks after the summer.

It’s difficult to make black and white stripes interesting but, Goddammit, Juventus have managed it.
