Juventus Turin have unveiled their new Nike Home and Away kits for the 2011-2012 Serie A season. Juventus and Nike presented the new shirts on the Facebook page of Nike Football Italia and on Sky Sport 24 channel.

Buffon, Del Piero, Marchisio, Pirlo and Quagliarella were the special models for Juventus 2011/12 “shirt collection”. For the first time, in the dressing room of the new stadium, the five players wore the shirts for the next season and then spoke to media during the shirt presentation event.

Juventus will wear a shirt with a futuristic look which looks to signal the start of a new era. It features a reinterpreted version of the iconic black and white stripes to guarantee a 3D effect. ‘Juventus’ is written on the back of the shirt, whilst ‘Forza Juve’ is written on the back of the badge. The shorts are white, with a hint of black at the tip, along with white socks and a ‘J’ written on the calf.

The Bianconeri’s away shirt is bright pink, dominated by a star, signalling a return to tradition. Following the foundation of the club in 1897, Juventus wore pink coloured shirts with black shorts for six years before switching to the traditional black and white stripes. The body, the sleeves and the neck are pink with a large black star weaving from the neck down to the waist. The shorts are black, while the socks are completely black except for a small ‘J’ on the calf.

The new shirts are made entirely with Nike’s innovate recycled polyester: each one is produced directly from the recycling of fourteen plastic water bottles. The strips also actively contribute to the regulation of athlete’s body temperature on the pitch thanks to the Nike Dri-FIT fabric. The shirts contain a new aerodynamic fit, now more slender, which offers 17% more elasticity than the previous shirt.

Buffon: “We celebrated the clinching of the title in 2006 because we deserved it. I’d be delighted to have it back, it would be a second victory. Ten years ago, when I joined Juventus, the team came from important successes, now this team is trying to travel the same path. We have very good purposes, the club operated at their best, and now it’s up to us. Pirlo was never an enemy. We met when playing in the National Under-15, we needed this kind of player.”

Del Piero: “About the matter concerning the 2006 title, I’ll wait the definitive developments, now I prefer to focus my attention on the future. With Conte as our manager, I’d like to live again those events occurred ten years ago, especially the same end of season. Pirlo? I’m happy for his arrival, the club couldn’t sign a better player.”

Marchisio: “In these days, I’ve just known that many fans expressed their total affection towards me. I’d like to thank and also reassure them. I’ve just signed a five year renewal and I’m very happy.”

Pirlo: “The Bianconeri’s colours are very important, this shirt is very important. I wished for a change after many years and now I want to give my contribution to take Juventus to those winning ways that this team deserves. Where can we get? Now we must think in working hard only.”

Quagliarella: “This is my first time at the new stadium and I’m really speechless: it’s amazing! I can’t wait to play here and forget the terrible injury I suffered last year. I’ve already started my preparation, and even on holidays I didn’t rest. I want to repay the club’s confidence, they’ve bought me back even if I got injured, and therefore I’ll aim at scoring a substantial number of goals.”
