The iconic 80s tracks of Napoli, Roma and Fiorentina signed by NR are back
Unparalleled symbols of an era during which the aesthetics of Serie A set the standard
March 7th, 2022
In the impetuous return of vintage and retromania in merchandising related to the world of soccer, both by the teams themselves as we have recently seen AC Milan do with the shirts of the 1995/96 season, and by brands that at the time have indelibly marked the aesthetics of the Serie A as precisely NR. The company founded by Nicola Raccuglia and from whose initials it takes its name, has been fundamental in defining a style made of natural materials, classic fonts and cuts never seen before both for game jerseys and for the rest of the player's wardrobe. An example are these beautiful tracks created for Napoli, Roma and Fiorentina, at the time sponsored by the Italian brand that gave him some of the most beautiful jerseys in their history, which are available again for fans and supporters.
The Napoli one is a perfect replica of the one used by the partenopei during the 1986/87 season, in the traditional sky blue and with the NR logo on the collar and long sleeves. The brand's logo is also present on the upper right chest above that of Napoli while the left side and back are occupied by that of the then main sponsor, Buitoni. The track of A.S. Roma is in the classic red with the yellow ribbon on the sleeves and on the chest we find on one side the iconic crest with the wolf-cub and the Barilla sponsor, also present on the back, while on the opposite side the NR logo and that of the team. The Fiorentina one, on the other hand, recalls the one worn in the 1984/85 season, obviously in purple with a white ribbon and the Opel sponsor dominating the left side and the back, while on the right chest we find the NR logo and the halberd lily, wanted by the Pontellos at the time.
