Stranger Kits S01E02: SSC Napoli Discovering the most hazardous, forgotten, loved and hated jersey of football clubs

At the beginning of the season, Kappa presented Kombat’s latest version, the tight anti-retaining jersey that has become a trademark of the Turin company. In addition to vanguard materials, the main innovation is the insertion of dark blue on the hips, which reconnects on the back. But in the history of Napoli's uniforms, there were much brighter moments.

Here are our 5 favorite stranger kits:

 

Home 1991-93 by Umbro

Apparently a simple t-shirt, but with an original and hypnotic tone-tone texture. Well, made even more beautiful by the magic box Gianfranco Zola, like the free kick against Foggia that took off several cobwebs from the top corner.

 

Away 1989-90 by NR

It’s 1990, and adidas creates the shirt that will redefine football’s aesthetic fees: the famous jersey of Germany World Champion in Italy '90. NR immediately captures the iconic design and readapt it on Ciro Ferrara & partners’ away uniform. Beautiful? Imitation? Just to know: Napoli won the Serie A.

 

Special 2013-14 by Macron

If you didn’t expect it, you're just unprepared. The kit-camouflage of that season was not enough: Macron made a special version following the same concept but with brighter colors less camo. They only mimic the numbers, in fact, you don’t read a fuck.

 

 

Third 1988-90 by NR

Let's go back in the second scudetto’s season because the red-Christmas combination with Mars on the chest is too attractive for not being in this top 5. Always said that sponsors are important for money for logos.

 

Away 1996-97 by Lotto

The greatest expression of fantasy and fancy at the service of Partenopei’s club. The jersey's extravagance reflects curiously the swinging trend of that season. The team led by Gigi Simoni arrived second in the first group, then collapsed in the second group and closed the season at the 13th place, with the final of Italy Cup lost with Vicenza. Boghossian is still not impressed.
