Have you had your hands on the Ultraweave technology? Do you agree with our experts? 🤔
What’s your favourite Italy shirt of all time? 🇮🇹
this one...i think we can all agree on that😁
1998 World Cup, the last Nike kit before switching to Kappa. That kit was an absolute beauty!
I have a soft spot for the EURO 2000 kit...seeing Totti, Del Piero, Maldini, in that sky blue shirt, brings back such wonderful emotions for me.
1970 or 1982.
1994 & 2004
Still can’t believe a channel like this exists, literally exactly the type of content I love, keep it up guys, fantastic work.
Thank you! 🙌
cheers dude, you've no idea how much this feedback means to us:)
@@craigbuglass8434 Happy to help! But really, you guys make it as easy as possible by putting out outstanding content!
Some notes to go along with your video: Italy's lowercase "i" logo used in the 90's was actually created by Patrizia Pattacini who won a contest with her design. I'm a big collector of Italy kits, and Rob is right on when he says that the Puma game day kits are far superior in design and feel to the replicas Puma made throughout their entire run with Italy. When I saw Rob's 2006 design I really thought it was revolutionary; with bonded seams, reverse neck, and all badges & logos were a very thin material that was heat pressed on.
The 2006 replica shirt was sold with a knitted fabric after Italy won the World Cup. So if you want that style shirt with the knitted fabric just look for the version with the 4 star badge (It's much more comfortable to wear). Also nike was the last company to make replica kits that were much closer to the player versions (maybe because they were made in the UK?), especially when compared to later brands.
Some great insight there! Thank you! 🙌
Would love a vid focusing on badges in particular - comparing tpu, rubber, patches etc. As well as looking at some of the new styles of crest
Awesome video guys, as a fan of the Azzurri this is gold to watch 👍🏻
Now I know what gets the gold standard when it comes to shirts. The evolution of a team's kit is a great idea to follow up with again. I love a history lesson.
Diadora was the best sponsor the Italian national team ever had. 🇮🇹⚽️
The first one is the kit they were wearing at Euro 96, oddly enough the replica kit (which I bought at the time) had the Nike logo on it whilst the actual kit worn by the players didn't. Also, no.9 was Moreno Torricelli.
No Italy game day kit had a manufacture's logo on it until 1999. Apparently there was some old rule that prevented it. Of course the replicas could carry it, which is why you see it there. This makes it easier to spot a replica from a "player issue" on any kit before 1999.
@@JoeLanza80 that's right. I remember the Kappa logo on the sleeves of that ultra-tight game kit at Euro 2000, although still no kit manufacturer logo on their chest until after the 2002 World Cup if I remember correctly.
@@alexjohnson9535 Sorry to correct you again, but the 1999 Kappa kit has the manufacture’s logo on the chest. It was kappa’s lesser known, but first kit for Italy, used for the Euro 2000 qualifiers.
@@JoeLanza80 blimey, I totally forgot about that one. I wonder why they have then removed the Kappa logo from the chest for the actual tournament kit.
@@alexjohnson9535 I'm guessing it was just a design choice. Many of Kappa's other kits from the mid to late 90's featured just the single logo on the left chest. It wasn't until 2000 that Kappa used the repeating logo on the sleeves for pretty much all the kits they designed.
The Ultraweave is an amazing shirt, but you've hit the nail on the head when it comes to the clinging when sweat is involved. After wearing it all day in summer, it nearly becomes impossible to take off and hence I only wear it with a base layer. Surprised the evoknit kit didn't get a run but that's Puma for you recently, been thru so many different fabrics and woven techniques over the last 5 years to now get to this wonder piece of tech. It also looks like with the club releases now that printing won't be an issue, although I wonder how much weight that would add (probably irrelevant knowing the base weight).
Great video again gents can't wait to see what you've got instore next.
That's interesting to know, as we haven't really had feedback from any wearers yet! Subside have found that the Italy shirt is 100g with the badges etc, so that's a fair bit higher than the 72g shirt. However that's still incredibly light!
@@TheKitBreakdown Brisbane, Australia is nearly as warm in winter than most days of an English summer so you know.. Product testing of shirt tech gets a decent run with me 🥵
Thanks!
Am an Italy national team fan, you would make a content for the 06 away shirt and talk about 3rd 2020 shirt (the green one) they are in my top of FIGC kits.
Great video guys, and please accept my apologies once again for my misinformed comment on your previous video about the Italy memorabilia shirt. I did enjoy this video very much, and it's really interesting to see the massive difference between the matchday shirts and the replicas. I've seen the WC 2006 matchday shirt and it is gorgeous, the replica just looks like a completely different shirt entirely. I do really like the new Italy shirt though, and it's good to know that the quality of design is right up there too. I'd love to get my hands on one. But getting good merch to South Africa can be tricky and expensive haha.
Anyway, thanks again, and stay safe!
No need to apologise Aldo, glad you enjoyed the video! Some of the replica shirts really are different from the match versions, and I think a lot of people will be quite surprised that this isn't a new phenomenon!
Please, don't apologise. You made a good point that we'd not explained the context properly and we learned something from that too. We're still pretty new to this stuff! I dread to think what the import duties might be like to ZA for a shirt like that but I hope you're able to get one. It's truly an incredible piece of design and engineering.
Soy amante de las camisetas de Italia...la más elegante de todas !!!🎩🔴⚪🟢
Ghana will need you to design their football kit.
That last Italy shirt shown was remarkably like the previous one and was never seen as far as I'm aware. With the current one being the round neck one with the quarters. Any idea why?
It was worn in a one or two games post Euros, but was just an Ultraweave technology version of the 2020 kit, so as you say, was very similar to the previous. They then released the new kit for the next year not long after, so it wasn’t seen many times!
The new technology is what impressed the guys the most about the shirt though, and that tech has now been rolled out across a fair few of the clubs as well as that quartered design. Thanks for watching! 🙌
I'm looking forward to see Italy wearing the new kit in the World Cup... oh no, they won't. 😂
Ouch! 😂
2014-15 ITALY HOME SHIRT?
10!?!! And the new one?
10 indeed! The new one is the same technology, so will likely rank high on that front. The visuals & finish are a different matter!
i disagree often with you 2 but love the content
It's all about opinions! Thanks for watching :)
Diadora made The best Italian kits. Especially in 1994. Nobody has came anywhere near close to their cool designs.
The Italy Diadora kit from the 1994 WC
Can anyone put this to rest? Were the only legit Italy 2006 WC kits made in Romania and Turkey? Are ones made in Thailand all fakes?
No that is not true. If you go to the Museo Del Calcio in Florence they have the entire team's kits from the 2006 final, and if you look at the neck label you will see they were made in Thailand. Also, I have a game day/player issue Italy 2006 shirt that I purchased from the FIGC store, and it's made in Thailand. I purchased it in 2006 when they were selling off their stock of shirts that had 3 stars on the crest.
@@JoeLanza80 Oh wow, great thank you! I guess a better way to identify them is the neck tag has silver lines on the side. Well at least on replicas.
