AS Roma’s 2019-20 home kit features a dynamic lightning bolt detail borrowed from the realm of Roman mythology. 

The lightning bolt, which decorates the jersey’s collar and sleeves as well as the socks, is associated with the Roman ‘God of the Sky’, Jupiter, and lights up an otherwise classic Giallorossi design. 

The jersey is the rich red of Roma with a yellow V-neck collar and yellow sleeve trims featuring this striking detail. On the chest, the club crest is helped to stand out thanks to an elevated trim.   It will be worn by both the club’s men’s and women’s team.

“The lightning bolt is something new and exciting,” said midfielder Nicolò Zaniolo. 

“It’s a really beautiful addition to the Roma jersey and we, as players, will wear it with great pride, giving all our best for our supporters” – added Elisa Bartoli AS Roma Women’s captain”

The head to toe look is completed by white shorts and red socks. The socks also feature a lightning bolt, alongside a Nike swoosh and the words ‘AS ROMA’.

“Roman mythology and its influence on Roman Identity played a huge part in the concept,” explains Pete Hoppins, Nike Football Apparel Senior Design Director. 
“This year, Jupiter was our focus, and the lightning bolt was an obvious and powerful symbol to hone in on.”

The 2019-20 AS Roma home kit will be available from May 23rd on nike.com asromastore.com and in official retailers. The male team will wear it on pitch during the game on may 26th.
