Venezia have presented their third-choice kit for the 2021-22 season, inspired by the blue shade of the Venetian lagoon, but it will also raise money to protect this delicate ecosystem.
The club is nicknamed the Lagunari precisely because of the lagoon that is home to the unique city of Venice.
Their third kit for this season upon the return to Serie A is the same shade of acquamarine that is reflected in the lagoon, with black sleeves, a black and gold collar trim and the orange, black and red stripes across the centre.
More importantly, Venezia FC will donate €5 from the sale of each shirt to We are here Venice (WahV), an NGO focused on restoring and revitalising the lagoon as a central part of ensuring Venice’s future as a living city.
The club had already announced yesterday that it was forming a partnership with WahV, led by environmental scientist Jane Da Mosto, aiming to act as a think tank to have everyone from universities to businesses and cultural institutions involved in protecting the ecosystem of Venice.
