Juventus The ‘Old lady’ of Italian football are nicknamed ‘i bianconeri’ which translates as the ‘Black and Whites’. The classic home shirt worn by Juventus today wasn’t so intimidating back in the 1900′s when the teams original home shirt was bright Pink. The result of a mix up with their shirt supplier!

The club found that the pink shirts faded badly after washing. By 1903 a replacement kit was needed, this time the club decided to let John Savage an English man playing with Juvuntus to place the order for the kit with a friend back in England. Savages friend lived in Nottingham and was keen fan of local team Notts County, the friend duly dispatched eleven black and white Notts County shirts!

Juventus also wear a blue second kit and occasionally they have played in yellow, famously winning the 1984 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup Final in the yellow shirt.
