Why & How Juventus Uses Both White & Black Baselayers With Home Kit
Sep 23, 2019, by Chris
If you watched some Juventus matches this season, you surely have noticed that the Italian giants are combing their kit with either black or white shorts and socks. However, did not even combine it with different colored shorts / socks but also with different colored baselayers.
Juventus Changes Baselayers Depending On Shorts / Socks Colors
It is pretty easy to understand when Juventus are using white or black baselayers. They match the baselayers with the shorts and socks being worn - so if they wear white shorts and socks, they use white baselayers, and when they wear black shorts and socks, they use black baselayers (main version).
However, as the baselayer quite interrupt the half-and-half design, we could well imagine that a half-and-half version would look better. In fact, Umbro even did release a special baselayer for Schalke 04 with the kit design of the club's 2019-20 home kit.
Adidas and Juventus are not selling a long-sleeve version of the 2019-20 home kit, at least online.
Juventus did not wear their 2019-20 home kit with mixed shorts / socks colors (e.g. white shorts / black socks)....

Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
