The Away jersey of AS Roma is inspired by Street Art
Replica the spray effect and reinterprets Gratton's lupetto in a modern key
August 1st, 2024
Today adidas and AS Roma present the Away kit for the 2024/25 season of the giallorossi, whose design is inspired by the artistic scene of the Testaccio neighborhood. Just like the Home jersey, which paid tribute to the first stadium of the giallorossa team, Campo Testaccio, this kit is also linked to one of the most important neighborhoods for Roman fans, but through a more contemporary lens. The jersey features a white base with an orange design in contrast, reminiscent of the spray from the cans used to create murals. The same gradient is also used for the collar and sleeves, as well as the Three Stripes on the shoulders. The chosen logo for the giallorossa team, the Gratton Lupetto, has also been reinterpreted in a Street Art style and inscribed in four arches representing the stencil technique.
The amphora, a symbol and icon of the Testaccio neighborhood, appears on the jersey as an applied detail on the back collar. This is a reference to Monte dei Cocci, an artificial hill from Roman times created by the accumulation of millions of fragments of amphorae used to transport goods that arrived by ship at the river port on the Tiber. Those who didn't have a ticket for Roma's matches would usually climb up there to watch from afar, even though the roof of the Curva Tevere obstructed the view of half of the playing field. Therefore, adidas' Away jersey design combines the deepest tradition of the capital city team with the future of one of its most linked neighborhoods, whose culture and creativity become a source of inspiration for the new generations. The kit will be worn for the first time on August 3rd during the friendly match against Olympiakos scheduled in Rieti.
