KITS

AS Roma, a world-renowned club known for their footballing flair and fashion, truly honored the ancient past with their collection of three kits for the 2025-26 season. The Home Kit features a traditional maroon base with orange / gold accents akin to the colors of the city of Rome, as well as subtly showing an arch design through the accents, representing the Roman Forum arch of Septimus Severus.
The Away Kit features the most prominent traditional Roman design with strikes of lightning representing Jupiter, but also the powerful nature of Mars, the god of war. The logo has been simplified to the“ wolf crest,”
otherwise known as the Lupitto, or“ little wolf,” showing ties to the founding of Rome and the mother wolf that raised Romulus and Remus. The black cuffs and stripes are bold and symbolize charred land from the wrath of the gods.
The Third Kit features a patterned design across the entire shirt and nameset, representing traditional Roman architecture and mosaics, drawing comparisons to many Roman buildings, roofs and art. The green accents represents the Roman gardens scattered around the city, and the collar and gold details add a regal feel to the overall design.
This year, Roma knocked all of their designs out of the park, and I cannot wait to visit their stadium and navigate the city of Rome this summer!
