Roma have unveiled their new home shirt for the 2018-19 campaign, which is inspired by ‘ancient Rome’.
The jersey bears new sponsor Qatar Airways, goes on sale from Monday and will be debuted during Roma’s final home game of the season against Juventus in Serie A on Sunday.
“The shirt, inspired by the ancient history of Rome, features a chainmail armour design across the front of the shirt – links that symbolise the unbreakable bond between AS Roma, the city and the club’s fans around the world,” reads a Press release on the Giallorossi’s official website.
“The distinctive chainmail design – known as the lorica hamata – occupies the whole front of the shirt, giving the impression of a suit of armour as the players enter the pitch.
“The same intense red completes the rest of the kit, with different tones on the sleeve adding a modern touch.
“The Nike swoosh and crewneck collar add flashes of yellow, ensuring the club and city’s famous colours are on full show.”
