AS Roma Football Kit
Based in the Italian capital of
Rome, where they share a stadium with bitter rivals SS Lazio, AS Roma have a
proud history with three Serie A victories and 9 Coppa Italia trophies. The
club were founded as part of a merger in 1927, when the Fascist regime decided
that all Rome clubs should be merged into one. Although Lazio refused, Alba,
Pro Foma, Roman and Fortitudo were brought together to form the AS Roma that competes
in Serie A to this date.
The club have the nickname of the
Giallorossi (yellow-red) in keeping with the colours of their kit.
Roma Home Shirt
It was not until 1931 that they
settled on the dark maroon coloured jersey that they wear to this day. The
initial Roma jerseys were white, red and blue in keeping with the home shirt of
Fortitudo-Pro Roma. The new maroon jerseys seemed to serve them well as in 1931
they finished runners up to Juventus. It would be in 1942 that they won their
first Serie A title.
Roma traditionally wear white
shorts and maroon socks with their home shirt. One of the more famous jerseys
ever won by the club was from 1971. For the first time, the club wore a red and
yellow striped shirts instead of the traditional red panels with yellow trims.
The jerseys were manufactured by Lacoste, who were more commonly associated
with tennis during this period.
Roma Away Shirt
The Roma away shirt is
traditionally white, with maroon shorts and white socks. In recent years, with
the increased prominence of European competitions, a third kit has been
released as part of the merchandise range available for supporters to buy. This
has normally been black, although a grey version has also been worn in recent
seasons.
Francesco Totti Roma Shirt
The word legend is branded about
too easily these days but in the case of Francesco Totti, he is a genuine icon.
The ultimate one club man, Totti’s incredible skills, loyalty and longevity
have made him one of the best selling football shirts in UKSoccershop history
as adults and kids alike pay tribute to the World Cup winning playmaker.
With over 600 appearances and 250
goals for the club, Totti has won two Serie A Footballer of the Year Awards and
numerous other individual honours both domestically and internationally.
Although Roma shirt printing is
available for all players past and present and even your own name, a large
majority still get Totti shirt printing on the back of their AS Roma kit.
Roma Shirt History
In 2014, Roma announced a ten
year supply agreement with Nike who will make all the official AS Roma replica
shirts and training kit including the very popular tracksuits, polo shirts and
jackets.
Prior to this arrangement, Roma
had been more commonly associated with both Kappa and Diadora who had traded
the contract back and forward for the best part of 20 years.
