Roma's new Esports Jersey by New Balance
A kit that can also be worn in the virtual in Konami's video game
October 21st, 2022
In view of the imminent presentation of the new video game published by Konami, eFootball, which will be released next week, Roma together with its technical sponsor, New Balance, presented the new kit that will only be used by the Giallorossi's Esports team. The jersey, which stands out for its vibrant and modern design, yellow with a graphic composed of black lightning bolts, will only be worn in virtual competitions and will also be available on the video game. A novelty that represents a leap into the future for the Giallorossi team, which is accompanied by a reminder of the club's history with the inscription "Figli di Roma" at the top of the back.
Adrian Urma, AS Roma Esports player commented: "Being able to play with a dedicated esports team uniform is exciting, it makes us even more proud to be part of this club. This enthusiasm is perfectly represented by the captivating design of the jersey. We can't wait to wear it for the first time".
This is not the first time that Roma has created something similar, back in 2020 it had already created a collaboration with one of the most active names on the streetwear scene in recent years, Brain Dead. Already the protagonist of a long series of collabs, Brain Dead is a creative collective of artists scattered all over the world. Not a single individual, therefore, but a collection of minds that with that collabo also entered the world of football and Esports. Two years later, the Capitoline club decided instead to reverse course and entrust the realisation to its current technical sponsor, New Balance, who dusted off the lightning bolts, an element already seen on the club's official jerseys produced by Nike in the 2019/20 season.
