The jersey of AS Roma for the derby

Time of derby, time of Supermarco Delvecchio. In anticipation, feverish, of the 185th edition of the Rome derby, AS Roma and adidas has presented the jersey with which the giallorossi will take the field on Saturday, April 6th. A special kit that recalls historic moments for the Roman club, redesigning it to adapt to the contemporary tastes of the new generation of fans, thanks to details that immediately ignite enthusiasm and memory. The legacy of the 90s and the early 2000s is celebrated in this ASR Origins 2023/24 kit, on which stands out the black herringbone pattern that contributes to making this garment an example of style and elegance that transcends the sporting dimension.

On the heart side, there is a modern and authentic representation of the "Tradition Emblem" - never used in this form on the playing field - adopted by AS Roma starting in 1927 and for the first 35 years of the Club's activity. The emblem is embellished with the first form of the ASR monogram taken from the badge belonging to the founder and first president of the Club, Italo Foschi. On the right side is the white adidas logo. The three stripes start from the iconic collar on an orange base and continue on the shoulders. The orange color returns in the sleeve finishing. It is not the first time that AS Roma chooses to use a historical emblem for the Derby, two years ago the then sponsor of the giallorossi, New Balance, brought back the ASR emblem on the first jersey, replaced by James Pallotta in 2013.

This connection with the past is told in the launch campaign by Marco Delvecchio - Italian champion with the giallorossi at the end of the 2000/2001 season - who finds himself catapulted back in time to the 90s. "Wearing this jersey is always an honor for me," commented Delvecchio. "I really enjoyed going back in time, thinking back to those wonderful years spent in giallorossi". Who knows if the figure of Marco Delvecchio, author of nine goals in the Derby, will be a good omen for Daniele De Rossi's team.
