‘Leaked’ image of next Juventus home shirt shows break with tradition

A Juve home shirt *without* stripes

Leaked Football Kit season is upon us, make no mistake about it. Already, we've seen rumoured new designs for Watford and Newcastle and now, we've been given a glimpse of what is said to be the 2019/2020 Juventus home shirt. Usually, you know what you're getting with a Juve home shirt: it will have stripes; they will be black and white. This time though, this doesn't appear to be the case at all, with Pedro Jiminez  revealing a design which appears to be a real break with tradition for the Italian champions. Instead of stripes, adidas have gone with a half-and-half design - the two sides separated by a vertical pink line. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvdGSF0FdlM/ The split design continues on the back, with a large blacked out area added for player names and numbers. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvetsViFGb6/ While we're not sure at this stage if the shirt it genuine, we shouldn't have to wait too long to find out if it is or not. Juventus are currently well on course to retain their Serie A title, sitting 15 points clear of Napoli at the top of the league. They also remain in the hunt for their first European Cup since 1996 after overturning their last 16 first leg deficit against Atletico Madrid. A hat-trick from Cristiano Ronaldo in Turin was enough for them to progress to a quarter-final against Real Madrid's conquerers, Ajax.
