Udinese home kit: innovative and ever greener with a nod to the past
Udinese Calcio and Macron are delighted to unveil the club’s new Home Kit, sporting classic black and white stripes and a striking design that pays tribute to the historic 1997/98 season. This new home kit reaffirms the club’s commitment to the environment and sustainability. Udinese and Macron have shared their eco-friendly, green vision for three seasons now, producing Eco-Fabric matchday kits made of 100% PET recycled polyester. It would not be complete without drawing inspiration from the city of Udine, emphasising the great sense of belonging between Udinese and its people, which is one of the founding values of the club. The Angel of Udine Castle, a true symbol setting this city apart, can be found embossed on the shirt numbers.
The new Home Kit is characterised by black and white stripes, with a thicker central band and cut-out section in the chest area. The design closely resembles that of the 1997/98 season, when the club reached a historic third place in the league behind Juventus and Inter and when Oliver Bierhoff was the Serie A top scorer with 27 goals. Past and present are brought together in a modern design, featuring a new woven, Jacquard fabric. The knitted V-neck collar is adorned on the back inside edge with the Udinese Calcio logo and the phrase I PRIMI BIANCONERI D’ITALIA (‘Italy’s original Bianconeri’). Two silicone badges are found on the chest area, with the Macron Hero logo on the right and the club crest on the left. Another club motto, La Passione è la nostra Forza (‘Passion is our Strength’), decorates the top of the reverse side of the shirt in white.
The home kit is finished off with black shorts and socks. The shorts offer a white drawstring and side stripes, while the socks feature two central white stripes of differing widths, Macron Hero on the ankle and U.C.1896 on the back.
GEOMETRIC PATTERNS DECORATE THE NEW UDINESE CALCIO AWAY SHIRT
The new Away Shirt is yellow, with black detailing around the V-neck collar, on the shoulders and sleeve edges. The back inside edge of the collar is adorned with the Udinese Calcio logo and the phrase I PRIMI BIANCONERI D’ITALIA (‘Italy’s original Bianconeri’), while the outside edge features another club motto, La Passione è la nostra Forza (‘Passion is our Strength’). Two badges are placed on the chest area, with the Macron Hero logo in black on the right and the Udinese Calcio crest on the left, close to the heart. What makes this shirt stand out in terms of design and style is the embossed geometric pattern on both the front and back of the shirt, offering a unique optical effect and textured look.
The away kit is finished off with yellow shorts and socks. The shorts offer a white drawstring and black side stripes, while the socks feature two central stripes (one white and one black) of differing widths, Macron Hero on the ankle and U.C.1896 on the back.
Both kits come in a Slim Fit, made principally of Eco-Softlock fabric with Eco Mesh inserts to offer lightweight, breathable material.
The new kits and other garments in the Macron-Udinese Calcio collection can be purchased from the Dacia Arena Macron Sports Hub Udine, authorised Macron sellers or online at store.udinese.it/en/home.html and the club’s dedicated page on www.macron.com.
