Juventus 2026 Pre-Match Kit
This is the new Adidas Juventus pre-match shirt for the second phase of the 25-26 Serie A season.
The Adidas Juventus 2026 pre-match football shirt features a spectacular all-over Renaissance-inspired graphic in shades of grey and white, mimicking the style of classic frescoes and sketches.
The most incredible detail is the integration of Del Piero himself into the artwork. The graphic features a statue-like figure of Del Piero performing his iconic tongue-out celebration, framed within classic architecture.
To contrast the monochrome artwork, the Adidas logo and Juventus crest are applied in a vibrant Yellow/Gold, standing out boldly against the complex background.
Confirming its place in the signature collection, the sleeve features the "ADP10" logo and Del Piero's signature, the back his number 10, and the shirt the dates of his debut and last match for Juventus.
Juventus x ADP10 Originals Collection
This shirt is part of the wider Juventus x Del Piero Originals collection we leaked earlier this week, but it features a far more intricate and bold design than the lifestyle items.
The Artist and The Footballer
The design is a direct reference to the nickname given to Del Piero by former Juventus owner Gianni Agnelli. Agnelli famously called Del Piero "Il Pinturicchio" (The Little Painter), naming him after the renowned Italian Renaissance painter Bernardino di Betto.
Agnelli likened Del Piero's style of play to art, just as Pinturicchio created refined masterpieces on canvas, Del Piero "painted" exquisite goals and technical brilliance on the football pitch.
The Juventus x Del Piero pre-match shirt is available from 16 December 2025.
