Macron and U.C. Sampdoria present the team’s new kits for next season
With just over one month to go before the start of the championship, U.C. Sampdoria and their technical partner Macron have presented the new match kits that the “Blue-circled” team will wear for next season’s games. Tradition, homage to the city and refined, elegant graphic details are complemented by top quality, high performance technical fabrics in the new kits.
The “Home” shirt that symbolises the club and is known as the “most beautiful shirt in the world” features the traditional Sampdoria design with four horizontal stripes in white, red, black and white again in the centre of the front and back. The shield of Saint George appears in the centre of this band. The knitted V neck is decorated with the team colours and the backneck is customised with the same colours and with the words “Pe Zêna e pe Sàn Zòrzo”; (For Genova and for Saint George), the motto of the old Republic of Genoa, in local dialect. The shirt is further embellished with the words “Genova 12 Agosto 1946” printed in relief, tone on tone, on the back under the neck. A white silicone printed Macron Hero logo appears on the right breast, while the badge of U.C. Sampdoria appears over the heart. The “Home” kit is completed by white shorts and white socks with a royal blue cuff and a band of the team’s colours.
The “Away” shirt is a white crew neck garment with the “Blue-circled” colours repeated on the sleeve cuffs. The shirt is particularly refined and elegant in its graphics. The garment-dyed, total white shirt has the “Blue-circled” band of colours embossed in the centre, creating an alternating effect, with the shield of Saint George in the middle. The backneck is customised with a label that repeats the “Blue-circled” colours of the shirt and bears the words “Pe Zêna e pe Sàn Zòrzo”;. The back of the neck is relief-printed with the words “Genova 12 Agosto 1946”. The shorts are in royal blue and the socks have a band of white, red, black and white at the top.
The “Third” match kit includes an amber shirt with a knitted Mandarin neck. This has a classic centre-cut insert with a band of the teams colours at chest height and a shield of Saint George in the middle. The backneck is again customised with the colours of the shirt and the motto in Genovese dialect. A blue Macron Hero logo appears on the right breast while a vintage-look club badge, inspired by that used in the mid-1960s, appears over the heart. The “Baciccia”, the traditional Genovese fisherman with beard, beret and pipe who symbolises the club, is printed in profile on the back of the shirt, under the neck. The shorts are blue with ochre details and the socks are blue with a band of white, red, black and white at the top.
The goalkeeper’s kit includes a turquoise crew neck shirt with bands on the sides featuring geometric graphics and a vertical series of white Macron Hero logos. The shield of Saint George is reproduced in the centre and Macron’s logo and the badge of U.C. Sampdoria are reproduced on the chest. The shorts are also in turquoise and have the same geometric graphics as the shirt on the sides.
The shirts are Body Fit garments made mainly from Sirena Light fabric with micromesh inserts for light weight and excellent breathability. The new kits are available from the Sampdoria and Macron websites.
