Napoli 24-25 Third Kit
This is the Napoli 24-25 third shirt, made by EA7.
The EA7 Napoli 2024-25 third shirt is predominantly grey and features Japanese cultural symbols: the samurai mask and the katana sword at the centre of the shirt unleash his full power and dexterity.
Kagoshima's location on a bay, its mild climate and the Sakurajima volcano have all contributed to its nickname as the 'Naples of Japan'.
The back of the EA7 Napoli 24-25 third shirt features a wave and sea motif to symbolise the ideal connection between the two cities, while baroque motifs of Neapolitan culture complete the proposed symbols on the shirt.
The back of the collar is inscribed in Japanese with the seven virtues of Bushidō, the moral code that dictates how a samurai should live:
Gi 義 Rettitudine
Yu 勇 Courage
Jin 仁 Empathy
Rei 礼 Respect
Makoto 誠 Honesty
Meiyo 名誉 Honour
Chugi 忠義 Loyalty
