Serie A Ban Green Kits From 2022-23 - Home Kits Excluded
Jul 17, 2021, by Pat
Update: La Gazetta reports that the new rule of the Serie A excludes the team's home kits. This means that Italian club Avellino (whose home shirt is green) and of course Sassuolo won't have to change the kit.
Avellino won't have to change their traditional kit
We could imagine that we will still see Serie A teams wearing greenish kits (e.g. of a green color that stands in contrast to the pitch). The main problem is those green shirts (also fluo-green?) that disrupt the technology of virtual overlays such as ads.
Original story - July 14: In a surprise move, Serie A earlier today revealed that they would be banning green kits from the start of the 2022-23 season.
The rule change was announced as the new competition regulations were released today, but will only go into effect for the season after next.
Its part of the colors section, which also states that teams should have one predominantly dark and one predominantly light shirt.
"From the 2022-2023 season it is forbidden to use green game uniforms for outfield players," the rules state, highlighting that fact that goalkeepers will not be affected.
While no further explanation was given by the league, it's being reported that the change was made as a response to TV company's complaining about green kits potentially becoming "invisible" against the color of the pitch.
It remains to be seen how this will affect Sassuolo, who traditionally wear green-and-black kits - we believe that the club will have to adopt a predominantly black design with stripes just on the front. Other than that, green kits are not all to usual in the league apart from a few alternative kits in recent years, such as Lazio's 20-21 away.

Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Debuted
Inter Milan officially debuted their new Nike 26-27 third kit on the pitch during a dramatic 5-3 Serie A comeback victory against Udinese at the San Siro, just hours after its official unveiling.
Taking inspiration from the Nerazzurri's iconic look from the late 1990s, notably referencing the 1997-98 and 1998-99 shirts. the new third kit is built on a stone-grey 'Iron Ore' base featuring a subtle tonal jacquard pattern. The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black horizontal chest band accented by a thin 'Blue Spark' lower stripe. Bright 'Speed Yellow' details are applied to the Swoosh, the two-starred club crest, the Betsson.sport sponsor, and retro-styled 1990s font names and numbers.
