Atalanta Christmas Kit Features Wrong Skyline - Turin Instead of Bergamo
Dec 16, 2021, by Pat
Unveiled last night, there's controversy surrounding the new Atalanta Christmas kit.
As reported by Italian media, the skyline at the bottom of the jersey is not of Bergamo, but instead Turin. Most notably is the Mole Antonelliana, is located in Turin and can be seen in the center of the graphic.
It's unclear as to how this could have happened but Atalanta fans on social media are furious and have asked others to boycott the sale of the shirt, which retails at a massive €145.
Funnily enough, we were able to find the specific image used for the kit, listed as "Skyline Turin" on Adobe Stock - thanks to @cesco11ab for the hint.
