The story of a Vintage Football Club jersey. Today, the jersey of Juventus of Turin, a famous transalpine club based in Piedmont. Also nicknamed the Vecchia Signora or the bianconeri, Juve is the most successful team in Italy: 51 trophies on the clock and a few Panini vignettes not stung by the beetles that have marked the history of the club: Giuseppe Meazza, Roberto Bettega, Franco Causio , Fabio Cappello, Claudio Gentile, Marco Tardelli, Dino Zoff, Zbigniew Boniek, Michel Platini, Liam Brady, Paolo Rossi, Roberto Baggio, Didier Deschamps, Filippo Inzaghi, Zinedine Zidane, Edgard Davids, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Trezeguet, Edwin Van Der Sar , Alessandro Del Piero … (find the error). The famous black and white stripes proudly worn by Juve since 1903 are the result ofan unlikely ball. Originally (1897, date of creation of the club), Juventus played in pink but following a delivery error from the English jersey supplier, Juve players find themselves with a stock of Notts County FC club jerseys, a second-rate English club, who no longer know what to do with them. Big lose. Juve adopted these new colors out of spite and won their first Scudetto in 1905. Against all odds but mostly in black and white in fact.(by Christophe Deodato) .
