Sampdoria
For many, Sampdoria are the gold standard for kits, not just in Serie A but worldwide.
This year is no exception, with the Blucerchiati sticking with a tried and trusted classic formula, with very few differences from last year’s effort.
If we’re going to nitpick, the shirt could have done with the iconic badge being included, but this is still a beautiful shirt.
Rating: 9/10
Sassuolo
Green and black is a difficult colour to pull off, and Sassuolo’s kits have swung between must-have and eyesore.
This year’s Neroverdi home shirt is really neither, but it does veer more toward the latter.
The thin stripes make a welcome return, but the design which slowly fades as they descend is a misstep.
Rating: 6/10
Spal
Spal have ditched the collar for their second Serie A season, but the basic elements of the shirt are the same.
The addition of a sponsor is, for once, an improvement, breaking up the thin blue and white stripes, which previously created a headache when coupled with the blue and white badge.
Rating: 6/10
Torino
This season’s Granata home shirt features some subtle detailing, with a triangular weave featuring a bull, the symbol of the city of Turin, in the middle of each triangle.
Torino’s is another classic Italian kit, but the Beretta sponsorship logo in the top right makes it look a little cluttered.
Rating: 7/10
Udinese
Udinese proudly proclaim that their shirt is made entirely in Italy, and this season’s features a collar and gold trim.
Unfortunately the kit they’ll be wearing this season will have both blue and green sponsors slapped on the front, creating a rather glaring contrast.
The Zebrette’s is far from the worst shirt in Serie A this season, but the cluttered design stops it being among the top tier.
