The debut of Italy's new adidas jerseys seen from the sidelines

Mateo Retegui's goal in his first appearance for the national team was not enough, the Azzurri were beaten at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, a stadium where they had not played for ten years. Beyond the defeat, however, yesterday for the first time we saw on the pitch the long-awaited shirt designed by adidas and inspired by marble, a natural, geographical and cultural element that represents the country. A return of the brand with the three stripes as technical sponsor of the Azzurri after a four-year period during the 1970s. And the inspiration for the design of these jerseys comes precisely from that historical period, with a veined blue reminiscent of marble and with the three white stripes emphasising the line of the shoulders.
