1996–97 Italy Away Jersey

Sleek and minimalist, the 1996–97 Italy Away Jersey by Nike marked the brand’s debut as kit supplier for the Azzurri, introducing a refined look that stood in contrast to the bold trends of the decade. Worn during the World Cup ’98 qualification campaign, this shirt reflected Italy’s tradition of elegance, discipline, and footballing class.

The design is centered around clean lines and balanced proportions, with a smart fold-over collar and a subtle button placket adding a tailored touch. The FIGC crest is stitched on the chest in a distinctive raised patch, while the Nike Swoosh makes its first appearance on an Italy shirt, symbolizing a new era for the national team.

This retro reissue remains faithful to the original’s tailored fit and soft material, offering comfort and sophistication in equal measure. Whether you’re celebrating the tactical brilliance of Maldini’s Italy or simply appreciating a sharp piece of football design history, the 1996–97 Italy Away Jersey is a timeless classic that speaks volumes with understatement.
