We continue our look into the fabulous world of Italian football kits, highlighting some of the best releases not just on the peninsula, but in the world.
A few weeks ago, we shared some of the best kits to come out of Italy ahead of the 2026-27 season, and it was full of some wonderful releases. Now, the campaign has started with a bang, and we’ve realized that we need to expand on the initial story because Italian clubs have done such an incredible job with their kits.
There are a ton of new releases that require your attention now that we have embarked on the season, and I’ve been closely watching all of them. Some good, some bad, and some ruined entirely by sponsors.
It seems fans of other leagues are taking notice, too, because I’m seeing so much chat about kits from the peninsula online. Once a great league because of its legendary talent, but now one that, in typical Italian fashion, is being talked about because of how it’s dressed.
From the top of Serie A and down the divisions, this is the second installment of Italy’s best kits. Tuck in.

Como’s home kit was probably tipped as the best shirt release of the season, and then they revealed their away kit. It’s a beautiful, crisp white number with navy detailing, the new (and pretty delightful) Como crest, and adidas’ Trefoil logo. The Revolut sponsor works, too, both on this kit and their home. It’s smart, it’s sleek, and it’s everything you’d expect when it comes out of a club based in the playground of some of Hollywood’s finest.

If you’re a bit of a nostalgic person, then this one may capture your heart. It’s a red number, and is pretty much a remake of their shirt from the time Diego Maradona was at the club. There’s no Mars sponsor, no Nico Raccuglia, and no Diego. But it’s still beautiful, and gives me a warm feeling inside. Seeing Scott McTominay score a bicycle kick (maybe), or Alisson Santos dancing on the left wing in the kit, is going to be a wonderful sight.

I’ve tipped Roma to finish in the top four again this season, and with this kit, they’ll look good doing so. It’s a lovely off-white kit, with the famous Roma colors across the chest to go along with central badges. A shame about the sponsor, though, so if you’re one of the lucky ones to have grabbed a sponsor-less one, then cherish it. Trefoil again, too, which, while good, may get old. For now, though, I’m enjoying it. Superb.

New Balance is doing some fantastic things in the football kit space, and this away number for La Dea is no different. A nostalgic nod to Atalanta’s kits from 1989-91, this features a lovely blue and black pattern across the chest, sitting on a crisp white base. Both home and away this season for Atalanta are superb efforts.

If you don’t know Virtus Entella, they’re a Ligurian-based club currently playing in Serie B, and their new away kit is simple, yet sleek. A deep navy base, faint lines down the kit, and light blue accents combined with a smart collar. It’s not flashy, but it works, and I’m here for it.

For those who don’t like Lecce’s loud red and yellow home kit (I love it), this one may be a bit more to your taste. It’s a deep blue shirt with a wavy texture on the base, which is weird for a mainly inland city. Regardless, the kit is good, and Lecce will be looking stylish when fighting to avoid relegation this season. This is the first year of the new Lecce and adidas partnership, and this is a beautiful way to kick it off.

The new away shirt for Cesena is classy. Simple. An all-black shirt with gold trimmings, embossed with a subliminal pattern of the Cavalluccio, the seahorse logo. That same crest sits on the chest in gold as well. It’s yet another piece of evidence of the good work Macron is doing this season, work that’s seemingly going under the radar a bit. Switch on.

This kit is reminding me of the Owl Pharaoh era of Travis Scott. With woodland textures througout, it’s a shirt that’s seemingly in the wrong era. However, it is a distinctive artistic tribute to local culture and features an intricate autumnal design. It’s different, and sometimes different doesn’t mean good. This time, it does.
