Juventus are reportedly considering a radical shirt re-design which may see their trademark black and white stripes disappear.

Stories in the peninsula on Thursday suggest that sportswear giants Nike, who have a 12-year contract in place with the Turin giants, want the outfit to rejuvenate their skin.

Although Juventus have been playing in black and white striped shirts since they were brought over from Nottingham in the early 1900s, Nike have offered to give the Old Lady a facelift.

The American firm will obviously look to keep the black and white theme going, but they would like to get rid of the stripes.

It’s understood that they have come up with a two-band colour jersey, one half in black and the other in white.

They are said to have contacted Barcelona and Atletico Madrid with the same proposal, with the capital outfit accepting the switch.

However, it’s unclear at this time whether Juventus will agree to the controversial move which will undoubtedly annoy traditionalists.

No harm done. We're playing like Siena, might as well look like them too.



PS: On a more serious note. I dont get Nike's problem. Sure, be creative, experiment, but not with traditional design. Juve have earned their stripes (pun intended) and I dont see any reason they should be done away with. It can never go out of fashion. Now, if somebody would just put Kappa on the line.

:lol: true,

Personally the stipes for me plays part in a lot of sentimental memories.. I would go against the move but heck what matters most is having a better influence in europe.. not by the colour of shirts but rather the way we challenge for the trophies. On the positive side.. we will still be black and white so no harm done..

Just to add I dont think nike should interfere with playing with our traditional colours so to that sense I agree with fight club.. and Juve shouldnt be too naive to just accept their plans.

If this is true I will never buy a Juve jersey for the rest of my life until the stripes are back! And I hope every Juve fan in the world does the same!

Until I read or hear an official statement, I won't believe in any of these reports.
Juventus' home jersey without black and white stripes? C'mon...
