Italian giants, AS Roma, will have a new away kit for 2016/17 and images of the design have leaked onto the web. The Giallorossi finished third in last season’s Serie A and are already preparing for the coming season’s Champions League final qualifying round.
AS Roma 2016/17 Away Kit
This is the image of the AS Roma away kit for the 2016/17 season.
The shirt is plain white and at present, is free of sponsors for the third successive season. With Italian companies unwilling to invest in football clubs due to the country’s economy, there seems little prospect of that changing before the official kit launch.
The trim is maroon with Nike’s Swoosh on the right breast in this colour as is the band running around the sides and back of the curved v-shape collar. A maroon stripe runs down each side of the shirt’s body from the underarm to bottom hem.
We believe the predominant colour of the shorts will be maroon, with a white stripe on each leg. Completing the move away from Nike’s preferred template, Roma’s socks for this kit are expected to be white with maroon trim.
It’s a straightforward template but the absence of a sponsor gives it a timeless quality.
