Adidas signed a long-term partnership with Roma to become the Italian soccer club’s new kit supplier, replacing New Balance.
Said Roma, “Roma and Adidas are once again working together thanks to a partnership that will see the brand with the famous three stripes kit outfit every Roma team member (men, women, youth, and Esports) from the 2023/24 season onwards.
“The first time that the Giallorossi colors were showcased on an Adidas jersey was on April 19, 1978, as the team ran out 2-1 winners over Verona on home soil. Under one month later, on May 7, 1978, beloved club captain Agostino Di Bartolomei found the net wearing the same kit. Other notable figures in Roma’s history, such as Sergio Santarini and Giancarlo De Sisti, also got to wear that stylish shirt.
“Between 1991 and 1994, Adidas won over the hearts of the Giallorossi faithful by churning out some of the most popular Roma kits of all time. Those years were filled with huge passion, memorable clashes and unforgettable moments that will live long in the memory of Roma fans from a certain generation, with many cult heroes turning out for the club in that period, such as Rudi Voeller, Thomas Haessler, Giuseppe Giannini, Abel Balbo, Ruggiero Rizzitelli, and Aldair to name but a few. None other than Francesco Totti made his Roma debut in Serie A on March 28, 1993 wearing an Adidas jersey in an away trip at Brescia.”
