Italy’s new away shirt has been unveiled and will make its first appearanceĀ as the Azzuri take on Malta this week.
Made by Puma, the shirt is mainly white with green, white and red of the Italian flag running down its centre. There is plenty of blue in the kit – a stipe down each sleeve and on the shirt’s collar and blue shorts.

Although the design looks quite classy, the sleeves are a definite talking point, as Puma seemingly haven’t decided whether they should be long or short.
@footballitalia @pumafootball why are the sleeves so long though. Lol

Others have pointed out a resemblance to a Juventus away shirt…

All in all though, it could have been much worse.
