Italian Champions Badges Are the Best in World Football

  • Italian Champions Badges: Italian football champions wear unique, classically designed badges like the Scudetto and Coccarda, which are highlighted as the best-looking in world football, differing from the modern gold designs common elsewhere.
  • The Scudetto: The iconic 'scudetto,' a shield in Italian national flag colors, represents domestic supremacy for Serie A champions and has been sewn onto kits since 1924, seamlessly elevating any uniform it graces.
  • The Coccarda: The coccarda is a concentric tricolor circular badge worn by Coppa Italia winners since the late 1950s, and when combined with the scudetto for a domestic double, it produces some of football's most memorable shirts.

For a few decades, reigning champions have worn special badges on their kits. Most of them are usually gold, and feature modern designs. However, in Italy, things are different, and not in a bad way.

Italian Champions Badges Are the Best in World Football

AS Roma 26-27 Away Kit Looks Incredible With Double Champions Badges

The AS Roma Femminile 26-27 away shirt provides the ultimate canvas to prove that Italian football badges are the best-looking in world football. Following their domestic double triumph, Roma Femminile earn the right to wear both the Italian Tricolore Scudetto shield and the round Coppa Italia Coccarda on their match shirts for the 26-27 campaign. It works perfectly with the centered logos.

Scudetto - Serie A Champions Badge

The iconic scudetto, meaning "little shield," represents the ultimate symbol of domestic supremacy. Bearing the green, white, and red of the Italian national flag, the badge was created in the 1920s and first worn by Genoa in 1924. Sewn directly onto the chest of the reigning Serie A champions for the entirety of the following season, the shield seamlessly elevates any kit it graces.

Coccarda - Serie A Champions Badge

Italy applies the same classic visual identity to its domestic cup competition with the coccarda. Worn by reigning Coppa Italia winners since the late 1950s, the concentric circular tricolor badge brings an equally refined aesthetic to the pitch. When a club manages to secure a domestic double, both the scudetto and the coccarda adorn the jersey together, producing some of the most memorable and sought-after shirts in football history.

Teams in Italy were used to wearing no club logos on their kits until the 1980s, only donning the Scudetto and/or Coccarda on the kit. You either gain your badge or keep your kit blank.
