PICS: Juventus travel back in time with the pinkest of pink away kits

We're looking and we're liking

Darragh Murphy

We’ve always loved a pink kit. There, we’ve said it.

So it’ll come as no surprise that when pictures of Juventus’ new away kit leaked online, we were huge fans.

The away strip of the Old Lady pays tribute to the famous home kit that was initially worn by the players when Juve were founded in 1897.

The black and white stripes with which Juventus are now intrinsically linked became the home colours by 1903 but the Turin club continue to pay homage to their past every few years by wearing the pink when playing away from home.

It’s been four years, though, since pink was last seen in the bag of Juve’s kit man. That is until next season when Max Allegri’s men will be sporting this bad boy.
