Nike bow out of 12-year long Juventus partnership with classic Bianconeri inspired design.
Nike have unveiled their final line-up of Juventus home and away kits for the 2014/15 season with their 12-year sponsorship with the Turin club set to expire at the end of this season and adidas ready to take over. After 12 season's worth of memorable kits, Nike are signing off with two designs infused with classic Bianconeri style.
The 2014/15 Juventus home shirt boasts an enlarged club crest on the chest and Juventus’s famous black and white stripes with a new wider width. In a subtle and stylish change from last season, the color of the stripes now alternates in different positions on the front and back. The new shirt also has a stylish and tailored black polo neck collar with a deep V-shaped placket, a modern interpretation of the deep necklines often seen on classic Juventus shirts.
On the black collar inside the neck is a single white stripe, and underneath the collar is white with a single black stripe in the same position, allowing fans and players to flip up their collar. Inside the back of the neck is a yellow and blue tape to represent the royal colours of Turin and the club’s traditional away colors. Below this is a white pennant tab with the message: “Fino alla fine” (Until the end).
The 2014/15 Juventus away kit features Turin’s royal colors and a new modern graphic – the shirt is blue and features a bold graphic of stars skillfully created from a series of tonal lines. The shirt also boasts both Turin’s royal colors from the city’s coat of arms, with a ribbed blue crewneck collar and cuffs, which both feature yellow trim. Inside the back of the neck of the away shirt, there is a black-and-white tape to represent Juventus’s famous home colors.
The new home and away Juventus kits will be available on sale from July 17 at selected Nike stockists including Pro-Direct Soccer.
