The new Juventus 2021-22 home kit by adidas
The return of the classic stripes and a tribute to the Allianz Stadium
May 18th, 2021
Juventus and adidas football have just launched the new home kit for the 2021-22 season. A simple and very traditional home jersey, launched without particular stunts and in a very sober way. Even the message behind the same shirt is less bombastic than in other years. It is in fact a jersey that celebrates 10 years since the inauguration (8 September 2011) of the Allianz Stadium, the home of Juventus. Also in the rediscovered stripes - abandoned in their classic version in the last two seasons - there is a tribute to the Bianconeri stadium: inside the vertical stripes there are star details that recall the Walk of Fame of the J present around the Turin arena.
Also inside the shirt the round figure from the Stadium is celebrated: the writing "10 years at home" is present inside the collar, with the letter "A" which recalls the external arches, symbol of the structure created by Massimo Majowiecki and Francesco Ossola. Another element that returns to be an integral part of the shirt are the adidas three stripes on the top, not present in the home kit of the season that is about to end. As has often happened in recent launches, Juventus also slightly differentiates the design of the jersey between the authentic version and the replica version.
The design is very simple and the only hints of color are the (golden) stars above the Juventus logo and the jersey sponsor Jeep, which this year pushes the plug-in hybrid technology of the 4xe version. At first glance, the shirt seems to be inspired by another iconic black and white striped shirt, that of Newcastle United. Since 1894, all the first Magpies jerseys have been in black and white stripes and adidas, brand sponsor from 1995 to 2010 before moving to PUMA, created many versions that have contributed to making the English stripes iconic. The inspiration seems to come from the latest kit of the German brand, that of the 2009-10 season, with the three stripes on the shoulders and the stripes that continue along the entire shirt, sleeves included.
