Ranking Every Serie A Home Kit for 24/25

Lecce’s home kit finds itself in dead last this year. A pretty uninspired piece of work it is almost identical to last season’s offering from the Giallorossi. Two sponsors across the chest and an assortment of them on the left shoulder ensure it takes up the rear in this ranking.

#19 – Monza

Again another lazy copy and paste from the 2023-2024 season. This kit is made worse by the supplier’s logo running all the way down on either side. The illuminous sponsor on the chest does it no favours.

#18 – Empoli

The Relegation battle was down to the wire this season with a host of contenders primed for the drop. 17th place must go to Empoli though. Having worn basically the same strip for 2 years the Azzurri pulled out all the stops this year by adding… a collar. Cutting edge stuff in Tuscany. Taking a yellow highlighter to any wording is also a turn off.

The Escape Artists:

#17 – Torino

Ah come on, is there no imagination left in Turin? The Granata have been recycling the same design since 2018 at this stage. It would be nice to see a different take on the classic colours or a design like that of 2020 when there was a motif of the Toro. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it but some variety would improve this kit, especially with such a unique colour to work with. Torino supporting Irish politician Mick Wallace wasn’t re-elected to the European Parliament so we won’t be seeing this kit in Brussels again any time soon.

#16 – Roma

There looks to have been some confusion in the capital this summer. The Giallorossi, famous for their dark red kits with hints of yellow, have created a strip that is neither red nor yellow. Apart from the inconspicuous sponsor the pinstripes have really gotten on Romanisti nerves. The jersey as a whole has not gone down well at all and historically things don’t look much better. The last time Roma wore a striped jersey, back in 1996-97, they finished 12th…

#15 – Udinese

This black and white jersey had the potential to be a top five contender but yet again giant sponsors slapped on the front give it an unfortunate billboard look. The most disappointing part is how the stripe is abruptly cut off midway. Sometimes sponsors compliment kits but unfortunately this is the opposite. A shame as the golden trim on the collar and cuffs were a resson to be hopeful.

#14 – Como

Como’s home jersey last year was nothing short of brilliant. They sailed all the way to promotion looking like Lake Como itself. Unfortunately this offering doesn’t quite have the same X-factor. The water design from last year is present again but now in a kind of bar chart form, increasing across the deep blue background. Perhaps meant to symbolise the newcomer’s rising fortunes it looks like a PowerPoint presentation. While certainly unique it does have a training- kit feel to it. There was so much more scope to explore with this one and for that it finishes in 14th spot.

#13 – Parma

Simple yet stylish this Parma kit is solid and would be higher up in some people’s rankings. While some outfits lower down have been criticised for being repetitive, if a traditional design is treated right it can be the gift that keeps on giving. A collar would have given this shirt an edge but the plain black cross is a step up from 2023-2024’s design. No messing around here for a respectable midtable spot.

Mid-table Safety:

#12 – Juventus

Juve have gone back to basics with their stripes this season. The thick lines are a major improvement and the more familiar design is welcome. Thinner stripes would be preferable for those of us with a taste for vintage jerseys but we should be happy with what we’ve got. Adidas have gone minimalist across the board this season which is not a bad thing at all. Looks odd without JEEP across the front though.

#11 – Bologna

From one stripey shirt to another, this Bologna kit is smart and thoughtful. They’ve changed up the stripes ever so slightly so the club logo is set against a half blue – half red background. The way the colours meet in the middle is pleasing on the eye. Vertical stripes on the cuffs are a subtle addition, showing attention to detail. The sponsor isn’t in your face and the font isn’t aggressive. The Rossoblu will look well in their maiden Champions League adventure.

#10 – Lazio

Mizuno have made some nice kits for the Biancocelesti since taking over from Macron and this one is decent too. The right shade of blue has finally been rediscovered. Navy trims on the cuffs and collar are a change from the usual white and they stand out more. The ‘S.S. Lazio’ writing emblazoned across the shirt does look a little childish however and it would probably be better off without, there is a case of overdesigning here. Good but not great.

#9 – Fiorentina

Fiorentina and Kappa have stepped back this year and let the striking purple that is synonymous with Firorentina do it’s thing. The collar adds sophistication while the sponsor isn’t overpowering so all things considered a fashionable look for Fiorentina.

#8 – Inter

Unlike many of their peers Inter have stuck their head out with their design for 2024-25. Although it looks slightly like to shirts sewn together it’s an admirable piece of work and they’ve been careful to make sure it doesn’t look like a knock-off. The golden crest with two stars takes pride of place in the centre where it looks brilliant. The Scudetto badge over the heart completes the classic look with a twist. Great effort from the Nerrazzurri.

European Spots:

Now we’re getting down to business. This is where the heavy hitters enter the fray in our ranking of every Serie A kit.

#7 – Genoa

Another return to basics from Kappa here amd they’ve pulled it off spectacularly. No motifs, no dodgy designs and no unnecessary tampering. What there is however is a sponsor across the chest that the Grifone have been sporting in pre-season that brings it down a few places. The fact the club advertised the shirt without the sponsor printed makes you think perhaps they knew it looks better plain too. Nonetheless a very appealing strip.

#6 – Cagliari

Cagliari have really rolled back the years with this one. Classy golden stitching down the centre brings together the unmistakable red and blue of the Sardinians while the V neck collar completes the vintage look. You could imagine the late, great Paolo Rossi reeling away in celebration wearing this kit. Inspired from the islanders.

#5 – Venezia

In typical Italian fashion Venezia have left it until the very last minute to unveil their kits for the new season. They say it will be unveiled during the opening game this weekend and Footyheadlines claim this is what it will look like. Venezia have built up a reputation for their fantastic kits over recent year and this one is no different. Their trademark orange and green combined with the gradient star design give this jersey a truly unique look, that wouldn’t look out of place in 2002. Hopefully they stay up so we can see more Venezia kits.

#4 – Verona

A tribute to their title win in 1985 Verona have gone above and beyond here. Yellow pinstripes set the tone while the chunky collar and cuffs work really well. This one is sure to be a fan favourite so you’ll need to move fast if you want to get your hands on it. A gorgeous strip for a gorgeous city.

The Podium:

Now our top three. The best of the best. Let’s find out who finished top in our ranking of every Serie A kit.

#3 – Atalanta

New jerseys often need to be seen on the pitch to be judged and the whole of Europe saw what a superb strip Atalanta have last night in the Super Cup. Thin blue and black stripes and La Dea taking pride of place in the centre create a simplified and chic look. Atalanta kits are sometimes repetitive but they have hit the nail on the head here. Brilliant.

#2 – Milan

It was a proper scrap for first place in this ranking and any of the top three could have finished top of the pile, especially this Milan marvel. Having played around for years with their red and black, Milan have finally stumbled upon a winner. Thin stripes finally make a return and them awful black shoulders are gone eventually. White trim is nice for a change.  A classic in the making.

#1 – Napoli

What a stunner from the south this is. Having been hit and miss for a few seasons Napoli have really found their groove. They’ve stripped away all the unnecessary clutter to reveal an absolute beauty of a jersey. A perfect shade of blue features. The shirt collar elevates it with help from the subtle detail all across the front. This kit deservedly wins the style Scudetto.
