Parma will let fans vote on its birthday shirt  A poll to decide on the details of the jersey created to celebrate the 109th anniversary of the Crusaders

To celebrate 109 years of history, Parma, in agreement with Erreà, will create a special shirt inspired by the one with which the Crociati team raised its eighth trophy, the last one won, in the city's Ennio Tardini stadium. A historical blue kit adorned with gold details, which will return again on the green turf, used for the first leg and return finals against Juventus. The men's and women's First Teams will use it in all the championship matches in December. The jerseys used on the pitch will then be put on sale for a solidarity purpose in favour of the Parma community, as well as the proceeds from the limited edition jerseys, which can be purchased at the store and in the online shop.

And to celebrate this important occasion in the best possible way, fans will be able to express their preference on certain details on the dedicated page of the official Parma Calcio website. The poll will end at 7pm on Saturday 24 September, when the version designed by the fans will be announced. But here is in detail what you can choose.

The net placed under the sleeves to ensure greater breathability will have two options to choose from:

- Background with graphics composed of a repetition of the stylised image of the Coppa Italia won in 2002 on a blue background and image in gold (standard match shirt) or on a pink background with image in blue (goalkeeper shirt)

- Background with repetition of the writing "2002-2022": blue background and writing in gold and tone on tone (standard competition jersey) or blue background and writing in pink and tone on tone (goalkeeper competition jersey)

The bezel on the inside of the neck will feature a slogan taken from the Curva Nord chants.

Here are the three possible options:

- "When Parma plays, a single cry will rise" on a blue background and gold italic writing (standard match shirt), on a pink background and blue italic writing (goalkeeper shirt)

- "Siam sempre qui, insieme a te, con i gialloblù combattm" on a blue background and tone-on-tone and gold italic writing, on a pink background and tone-on-tone and blue writing (goalkeeper jersey)

- "I colori gialloblù, che vedi su quella maglia, vinceran la Coppa Italia" in tone-on-tone gold italics (standard jersey), on a pink background and blue italics (goalkeeper jersey). The writing is completed by a stylised image of the Cup in gold on a blue base (standard jersey) or in blue on a pink base (goalkeeper)

Fans can also decide whether to place a special embroidery dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the 2002 Coppa Italia on the back of the bezel.
