Sometimes simple is best.

This Thursday saw another batch of football kit porn as Nike unveiled Roma's away kit for the new season. The Serie A club have been on a tear in recent years with their minimal, unfussy kits, and their 16/17 season effort continues the tradition. Chiming in with the club's 90th anniversary, the predominantly off-white kit is topped off with the traditional Roma purple-red stripe along the sides of the shorts and under the sleeves. https://twitter.com/ASRomaEN/status/756066680783138817 In a lovely twist, the new away kit also sees the return of the Lupetto, the wolf historically associated with the Roman club, harking back to the Roman myth of the she-wolf that looked after the city's founder Romulus (thank us later pub quiz fans). The 'Little Wolf' features as the badge of the new kit, and will feature both the t-shirt and shorts. It's believed that Roma will also continue their recent trend of avoiding sponsors, a stance that can be respected by all football fans. Swoon. Needless to say, the new kit had a number of football fans considering their club allegiances. https://twitter.com/MustafaA_Latif/status/756104968185217024 https://twitter.com/lacesoutdan/status/756101426024251392 https://twitter.com/LukePlunkett/status/756089143420067840 Roma's new away kit will be on sale from 28 July - expect Totti to wear it for his 24th season with the club. We're adding it to our pre-order list now. A kit lovely enough to be worn for five a side, festivals and more.
