Limited Edition Nike Roma ‘ASSIEME’ Kits Released
Apr 11, 2020, by Chris
AS Roma has launched limited edition first team home and third shirts to raise money to help Roma Cares, the club’s foundation, tackle the Covid-19 crisis.
AS Roma Nike 2019-20 ASSIEME Kits
The special 2019-20 home and third shirts come from the supply of Nike shirts made for the first team and feature the ‘ASSIEME’ logo, meaning ‘together’ in Italian, across the front.
Only 500 of the special ‘ASSIEME’ shirts exist – 350 of the home, 150 of the third - each one is numbered from 1 to 500.
Each shirt also features a special Roma Cares patch on the sleeve.
The 500 shirts went on sale exclusively on www.asromastore.com on Friday. The shirts are priced €192.70 each – after 1927, the year AS Roma was formed - and all proceeds will go to Roma Cares to support its activities directly related to the Covid-19 crisis. The third shrit is already sold out.
“We launched the ‘ASSIEME’ campaign to show our fans that despite not being able to be together at the stadium right now, we were still close to them,” said Francesco Calvo, AS Roma chief operating officer, who leads the Roma Cares foundation.
“In these challenging times, we have felt the support of our fans and we have tried to help those most in need in our community. With the money president Jim Pallotta, Roma Cares, our players and staff, partners and fans have donated, we have already purchased and distributed eight ventilators, eight intensive care beds and over 45,000 sanitary goods - protective masks, gloves and sanitizers - and with the remainder of the money raised to date, we have ordered thousands of additional and essential protective supplies to be distributed to the hospitals to help them cope with the next stage of this crisis.
“With the money we raise from selling the limited edition ‘ASSIEME’ shirts, Roma Cares is already liaising with Regione Lazio and Protezione Civile to understand how best to contribute given the evolution of the situation.”
QPR Kit Clash Against West Brom
QPR faced a major kit clash in their EFL Championship away game at West Brom, wearing their pink away shirt with blue shorts against West Brom's traditional blue-and-white home shirt.
The bright pink of QPR looked surprisingly similar to the white stripes of West Brom on TV, while the blue shorts and dark details made the overall contrast even less clear.
From the wide camera angle, the two teams became difficult to distinguish, creating a frustrating viewing experience for fans.
Nike Kobe 8 Protro 'Mambacurial' Releasing Next Week
Nike is set to officially bring back one of its most famous crossover designs, the Kobe 8 Protro "Mambacurial", releasing on September 19, 2026. First introduced in 2013 as a tribute to Kobe Bryant's lifelong passion for football, the sneaker drew direct inspiration from the vibrant 2013 Nike Mercurial Vapor IX football boot. Thirteen years after its original debut, the model returns under the modernized Protro banner, uniting basketball performance with iconic football heritage. Big thanks to House of Heat.
The shoe faithfully recreates the beloved colorway, featuring a bold gradient across the engineered mesh upper in Red Plum, Pink Flash, and Electric Green. Signature football details define the look, including the oversized forefoot Swoosh that mimics Mercurial boot branding, massive block-letter "NIKE" lettering across the medial flank, and a translucent neon green outsole. Modern Protro upgrades have been implemented beneath the surface to provide improved cushioning and traction.
SK Brann Kvinner 26-27 Third Kit Released
Norwegian Toppserien side SK Brann Kvinner have officially unveiled their new 26-27 third kit, produced by Nike in collaboration with Unisport. The team debuted the vibrant new design during their away fixture against Lyn in Oslo.
The Nike SK Brann Kvinner 26-27 third shirt features a purple base paired with a large, dark rhododendron flower graphic printed across the front. The design honors Bergen's reputation as Norway's "Rhododendron City," known for the vibrant bushes that flourish in gardens and parks across the city. All branding, including the Nike Swoosh, monochrome Brann crest, and sponsor logos, is applied in a contrasting bright pink.
On the back, the jersey includes the inscription "For Bergen" in gothic lettering just below the collar, symbolizing the pride of representing the city on away trips. The new third uniform completes Brann Kvinner's 26-27 wardrobe alongside their traditional red home and dark away kits.
Special Club América 26-27 Kit Font Released
Club América has unveiled a special commemorative kit font for the 26-27 season, celebrating Mexican Independence Day and the club's marquee Clásico matches throughout September. The bespoke nameset replaces the regular squad typography on the back of Las Águilas' primary yellow home shirt, adopting the iconic green, white, and red of the Mexican flag.
The custom numbers feature a deep green base detailed with thin white vertical pinstripes. Embedded along the vertical lines are historic commemorative inscriptions, including the club name, the date "16 - 09 - 1810" marking the start of the Mexican War of Independence, and "INDEPENDENCIA DE MÉXICO". The player names above are rendered in vibrant red with a clean white outline.
To complete the patriotic design, each numeral incorporates a geometric red and cream 3D shadow effect, alongside Club América's crest placed at the base of every digit. The special typography delivers a unique cultural tribute, adding extra identity to the squad's jerseys during one of the most important periods of the Mexican football calendar.
