adidas launches a collection to celebrate the greatest sporting cities In the new City Pack there is also a jersey with the colors of the Italian national team

A year and a half after the first leak and the first images, adidas has re-presented the "City Pack" on its website consisting of 9 limited edition jerseys that pay homage to some of the most important sports cities in history. From Los Angeles - which will host the Olympics in 2028 - to Paris - which will host the 2024 edition - passing through Rome, Munich, Copenhagen, Dublin and Glasgow, Bucharest and closing in Baku. All the shirts are made with the same design, decidedly 90s style with the logos in the center and decorative elements on the shoulders. The material is also a common thread that is found throughout the pack: the silky appearance and the shiny stripes give a sense of nostalgic and modern at the same time.

Each shirt has details related to the city: Los Angeles with two shades of green and a logo that incorporates the iconic Californian palm trees; Paris with the colors of the French tricolor and the fleur-de-lis, which has always been a symbol of the power of the royal family; Munich with a design that recalls the one used on the last jersey for EURO2020, therefore with black as a background and a reference to the German and Bavarian flag; Glasgow with the typical colors of the city and Scotland and a style very close to that of the Rangers of the first half of the 90s; Dublino, which unlike the others, does not have the name of the city on the back but "Áth Cliath", the Irish name for Dublin. The pack is closed by Copenaghen (with the classic Danish colors), Bukarest (strictly with the K, as the Romanian language teaches) and Baku, the new great hub of European sport.

Last but not least, the shirt dedicated to Rome and its eternal beauty. The blue colors, typical of the Italian national team, chosen by adidas could be a signal of the switch that could involve the Azzurri. adidas, in fact, could replace PUMA - technical sponsor of the CT Mancini team since 2003 - returning to dress the national team after being the first official replacement kit in Italy (World Cup in '74 in Germany and in '78 in Argentina).
