January 23rd, 2025
"L'anno che verrà" by Lucio Dalla is blasting from the speakers of the Renato Dall'Ara stadium as Vincenzo Italiano's team takes a victory lap to receive the applause of the fans after their first win in the Champions League in the team's history. A victory that may not impact the standings, as Bologna had already been eliminated before stepping onto the field, but crucial for solidifying the relationship between the team, the fans, and the entire city. A strong connection with the local community that was celebrated before the start of the match with the players' outfits, designed by the new Fashionwear Partner C.P. Company. The Bologna-based company, after working with Manchester City, has chosen to reward the home team for their great work in recent years, culminating in last season's qualification for the Champions League, with a kit specifically created for Bologna FC.
The set includes, of course, the Goggle Jacket with personalized red lenses, the most famous and representative piece of the company founded in 1971 by Massimo Osti, featuring the logos of both the brand and Bologna in the characteristic Navy Blue of C.P. Company. The garments will be worn by the first team players and coaching staff during travel and upon arrival at the stadium for away matches, both in international competitions and in the Serie A league. C.P. Company has always have its strong relationship with football, which was born into the stadiums terraces in the 1980s and continues to this day, creating a true connection with the communities and subcultures that drive sportswear in all its aspects.
"It is an honor for me to celebrate the bond between C.P. Company and Bologna, the city where I was born and raised, and with which my family and I have always had a deep connection. And to do so through this partnership with Bologna FC is the completion of a circle, it is the most authentic and natural way to celebrate the bond between C.P. Company, Bologna, and football. I cannot hide my pride in seeing my beloved team and all the staff dressed in C.P. Company," stated Lorenzo Osti, current president of C.P. Company and a fan of the red and blue team. In a time when fashion and the outfits worn by footballers to the stadium are becoming increasingly central in shaping a team's aesthetic, there could not have been a more sensible and credible partnership than the one between Bologna FC and C.P. Company.
