The story behind the strange Juventus jersey

A few hours before the start of Serie A, the great clubs of Italy continue to reveal the jerseys they will wear for the 2021-2022 season. This Thursday, August 19, Juventus was the club that unveiled its third kit for the new campaign. The peculiar design of the shirt has unleashed a wave of criticism and ridicule through the networks.

Juventus has revealed what will be its third skin for the 2021-2022 campaign, presenting a rather extravagant design compared to those it announced weeks ago for home and away uses. The alternative t-shirt attracts attention due to its white, blue and yellow colors with totally asymmetric lines.

"The new kit is inspired by color blocks, contrasting the shades of the city of Turin with yellow and blue, ending with a special collar and for the first time the two-color tone of adidas as a sports logo. The shirt guarantees comfort and also a retro look, combined with Juve's DNA to make it unique, "explains Juventus in their statement.

The new Vecchia Signora shirt has not been well received by Twitter users. The comments on Juventus' own publication are mainly negative. In addition to this, the wave of comments is littered with memes as a mockery of the new design of the Turin club.
