Nike Football unveils AS Roma 2018/19 home kit

Right now, there’s no way of stopping the stream of unveilings of the kits for the next season and it’s finally time to see an Italian one. The first to inaugurate the row of releases is AS Roma, that this morning presented the new home kit made by Nike Football. After appreciating the designs made by fans that tried to foresee the Swoosh’s choices, we can now admire the shirt that De Rossi and his teammates will wear during the 2018/19 season.

For the next season, Nike wanted to celebrate the power of the Roman Empire, dressing the Giallorossi players with a proper armor. In fact, the design of the home kit represents the Lorica Hamata, the chain mail used by the Roman legionaries. On the front side of the shirt, there’s a design that represents this very tangle of mail used in the ancient armors, that want to symbolize the bond between AS Roma, the supporters and the Eternal City, acknowledged and appreciated in the whole world.

A touch of modernity is given by the shades on the sleeves and the shoulders, while the ‘Roma Yellow’ Swoosh and necklace embellish the shirts, giving at the same time the perfect representation of the identity of the club. On the front side, there will also be the new ‘Qatar Airways’ jersey sponsor, that already made its debut a few weeks ago. The new AS Roma home kit will debut in the big match against Juventus on May 13. Then, it will be available at nike.com, asromastore.com and all AS Roma Stores from May 17.
