Summer is here and for calcio fans at home and abroad attention turns to transfer rumours, pre-season friendlies and, of course, new kits.

Over the next few weeks we will keep you updated as the replica jerseys drop from your favourite Italian teams.

Fiorentina got the ball rolling, a few big guns followed shortly after, and Parma joined in with the early birds, all revealing new strips before June was out.

But there are plenty more to come before the Serie A season kicks off at the end of August and we will be featuring them all right here, although we won’t be getting into the difference between home kits and authentic home kits (roughly 40 quid at most clubs for those counting).

Fiorentina

Fiorentina were first out of the blocks in early May with the launch of their new home strip while Juventus and AC Milan quickly followed.

The Viola went back a quarter of a century to find inspiration for the gear they will wear next term and gave it an outing in the final home game of the campaign – a 3-2 victory over Bologna.

For fans of a certain vintage it will rekindle a few fond memories as the design celebrates the version from 1999-00, with the white V shape below the arms standing out on the famous purple.

That 1999-00 season was Gabriel Batistuta’s last in Florence. The legendary striker scored 23 goals across the Serie A campaign to finish one behind top scorer Andriy Shevchenko of AC Milan.

Unlike the FILA design worn by Batistuta and Co, there is no big collar on the latest edition, made by Kappa. But, we still like it.

Juventus

There was little surprise with the Juventus jersey – there’s only so much you can do with black and white stripes (just ask fans of Udinese, Newcastle or Notts County).

The slight difference this time is the varying thickness of the black lines, while the pink detail, a feature for the Old Lady over the years, is on the club crest, the adidas badge and the three stripes on the shoulder.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it (just tweak it) seems to be the mantra for the big clubs with the iconic home colours. But when it comes to the away jersey Juve really have produced a thing of beauty.

Pastel colours, mainly light blue with a hint of white and yellow. What’s not to like? “Summer vibes Italian style” is how it has been introduced on the website with a claim the new top suits “those who travel with confidence and style – wherever football takes them”. Let’s see how that Club World Cup campaign plays out.

AC Milan

‘Il Diavolo in every detail’ screamed the ad that launched the new AC Milan number and to be fair, the home jersey is as slick as the promotional campaign behind it.

The devil is indeed represented, if you look closely there’s a fiery pattern across the stripes, but the most eye-catching aspect of the 2025-26 Milan effort is the club badge, this time all in red and white.

Puma have been Milan’s manufacturer since 2018, meaning the Rossoneri are stablemates with the likes of Manchester City, Marseille and Barrow AFC, among others.

But the famous red and black stands out in any crowd.

Inter Milan

Inter gave it a few days for the dust to settle after their Champions League final defeat before unveiling their home kit for the new campaign, and it was certainly worth the wait for the latest Nike number.

Every bit of this looks darker while the blue on the crest, swoosh and sponsor, or chlorine blue to give it its proper name, “will shape the club’s visual identity throughout the upcoming campaign,” according to the official release.

The word ‘Inter’ has been subtly placed in the shape of the stripes and the strip was given its first outing during the Club World Cup in the United States. Mexican outfit Monterrey did not appear too dazzled however, securing a 1-1 draw, before the Nerazzurri got their campaign up and running with wins over Urawa Reds and River Plate.

And the new away kit is not too shabby either.

Parma

Parma have not ventured too far from last season’s kit but they will be hoping for a different campaign this time around having finished in 16th place in 2024-25.

The main, and perhaps only alteration, appears to be the collar. The round neck of last year replaced with a polo-shirt-style design and given a yellow trim.

The rest of the top is very much ‘as you were’ but the collar is a nice touch and gives it a bit of a retro feel.
