Moderator Tommy 12,605 Posted July 16, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 16, 2021 Quote https://forzaitalianfootball.com/2021/07/serie-a-to-ban-green-shirts-from-2022-23/ SERIE A TO BAN GREEN SHIRTS FROM 2022/23 The 2021/22 Serie A campaign will be the last time teams will be allowed to wear green jerseys as they will not be able to wear the colour from the season after. Sassuolo are famous for their home jerseys with green and blacks stripes while Atalanta have recently worn a dark green third jersey and Lazio had a fluorescent green alternative kit but they won’t be permitted to wear them from 2022/23 onwards. According to Calcio e Finanza, Lega Serie A have released the regulations for the 2021/22 season and Article 2, Paragraph 1 has a regulation that relates to the following campaign. The ban will apply to outfield shirts, meaning goalkeepers will still be able to wear green. They are claiming to ban green jerseys for television audiences because do not want viewers to confuse the player jerseys with the colour of the pitch, therefore creating a camouflage. They believe it will also be beneficial for spectators at stadiums watching the games as well as match officials who can identify players easier.

Silly really, and can't really think of a team that has all green kits in Italy, although my brain is currently fried and I'm on a lack of sleep so I'm sure there is someone big I'm missing. Wait - I thought Sassuolo was find because of the black stirpes, but it appears that isn't the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma 1,763 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Green kits are all too rare in football so when I see them I take notice. Off the top of my head only Sassuolo would be affected, and their kits are gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,177 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 This just reminds me of my brilliant idea to give Liverpool forwards pitch-colour green boots to wear so as to fuck with the idiot VAR officials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Batard 2,534 Posted July 16, 2021 Administrator Share Posted July 16, 2021 Ridiculous. Imagine Saint Etienne in any colour other than green if that was applied in France. Sacrilege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think it's a bit fucked to ask sides to change their kits they've been using for (what I'm assuming is) ages. I'd be pissed off if I were a Sassuolo fan.

Spike 5,100 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 @Tommy @Coma @Eco @Dr. Gonzo @Mel81x @Batard According to this it looks like Viacenza and Sassulo are exempt because it only applies if green is the dominant colour, like Lazio's away kit. Sassuolo wear black shorts and socks so it wouldn't matter to them. The article in OP is sensationalist. https://www.calcioefinanza.it/2021/07/15/serie-dal-2022-23-vietate-le-divise-di-colore-verde/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if this is such an issue now how come it hasn't been an issue for all the years they have been wearing those colours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of other countries the only teams I can come up with off the top of my head would be Plymouth, Betis, Sassuolo, and St. Etienne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reluctant Striker 134 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I can only think of Plymouth Argyle in England. A lower division side. Sponsored by Ginsters. Can not ever see them being told to change their colours though. Perhaps their sponsor when it's found school kids are bunking off school too often to pig out on cheap pasties. In Italy, it wouldn't surprise me if an influential someone somewhere has grumbled to the right people. I'm imagining Wolves of the last few years playing in green & Italy's version of a Roy Keane type analysis, losing to them, the new kids, wannabe upstarts not playing for the pride of the J badge.. or something similar..

Their kits tend to be a Jade green rather than bright green. Forest Green however might be impacted by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
