Juventus Home Kit (1996-97)
The Jersey -
This collection wouldn't be complete without a Juventus Home kit. This one checks all the boxes. The jersey features the traditional black and white vertical stripes synonymous with Juventus, the retro collar, the Kappa logo, and the Sony sponsor emblazoned across the chest. This jersey is best suited for an slightly oversized look. Highly recommended to complete the kit with a Del Piero or Zidane name / number.
The History -
The 1996-97 season was another memorable chapter in Juventus’ storied history. Coming off the back of their Champions League triumph in 1996, Juventus continued to be a dominant force both domestically and in Europe. The team reached the final of the UEFA Champions League once again, being narrowly defeated by Borussia Dortmund 3-1. However, Juventus successfully defended their Serie A title, claiming their 24th Scudetto, and won the Intercontinental Cup, defeating River Plate 1-0. The team featured legendary players such as Alessandro Del Piero, Zinedine Zidane, and Didier Deschamps.
