The sleeves on Juventus’ new alternate kit are different in all the right ways

These are wild

What’s black and white and beautiful to watch?

Juventus… and zebras. While we normally wouldn’t see the point in an alternative kit that is the same colour as your home strip, we’ve got to admit we’re fans of this.

The Old Lady claimed a fifth consecutive Serie A title last season and, in celebration, have gone all out funky with their third kit for next season.

Though they are undoubtedly the biggest predators in Serie A, the Italian champions decided to play around with the famous black and white design of their home strip by adopting a zebra-esque style on the sleeves of their third kit.

In leaked pictures appearing on FootyHeadlines.com, the zebra stripes offer a welcome change from the bold ones we’ve grown accustomed to seeing in Turin over the years.

No word yet on whether or not Notts County will follow the lead of the club whose kits they initially inspired.

Perhaps Adidas have been taking tips from midfielder Paul Pogba who is no stranger to basing his style on the kind of animals you might spot on safari.

The Frenchman has regularly sported outrageous haircuts, so we’re looking forward to seeing if he goes full zebra next season.
