We find ourselves on the eve of the 183rd Derby della Capitale under a Tuscan sun. adidas, in harmony with AS Roma, gifts us with the revelation of the AS Roma Origins Jersey – exquisitely designed as the club's fourth kit for the 2023/24 season. This jersey offers the world a banquet of nostalgia, a telestic love letter to a history thick with passion and purpose.
Casting our minds back to the rapture of the 90s and the nascence of the 2000s, AS Roma's warriors of the pitch will don a splendid jersey for this weekend's Derby della Capitale. This emblem of cloth has been woven to mirror echoic instance; resurrecting the "traditional crest" and collar, that exhales vintage and inhales modernity, becoming a perfect blend of past and present that is primed to stir the souls of both, vast legions of die-hard fans and sprouting lovers of the game.
Swathed in the symbolic Giallorossi red laced with whispers of orange, the jersey is enriched with a black herringbone weave that cavorts upon the base colour, introducing an added layer of sophistication. Nestled between the beats of its wearers, the chest springs to life with the club's traditional crest - a familiar beacon, albeit presented in a novel form, one yet to grace the pitch's verdant expanse.
Engraved with a tale of inception, this crest – a faithful servant of AS Roma since 1927, its first three and a half decade-long comradeship - is reinvented with signatures from the founding era. Elements from the original ASR monogram - the brainchild of the club's founder and first president – are incorporated to breathe life into this modern yet authentic representation.
Final touches are in the shape of the Capitoline she-wolf, an unswerving figure that prevails in Roman mythology and now in sport. The right side of this time-travelling jersey bears the adidas logo in a crisp white. The impactful Three Stripes uncoil from the iconic collar fashioned on an orange base, journeying over the shoulders as if yearning to touch the Italian skies.
The jersey, a pulsating canvas of Roman pride, will be married with white shorts and commanding black for the squad. In the essence of socks, we are taken back to the dawn of the 90s and 2000s, gloriously recalling the charm of those eras. High on style and nostalgia, the ASR Origins Jersey drills itself right into the heart of these sterling periods.
They are now gracing the shelves of all AS Roma Stores, letting the fans bring a piece of that iconic period home. Offering even more convenience, these flamboyant jerseys are also available online.
