Torino 2026/27 away kit celebrates River Plate friendship | OneFootball

Torino have unveiled their new away kit for the 2026/27 season, which celebrates the years of friendship with Argentine giants River Plate.

The Granata are twinned with the Buenos Aires club, who this year are marking the 125th anniversary of their foundation.

Torino bonded with River Plate

The design of the kit combines the iconic elements of the two teams, so while it is white with a diagonal stripe across the chest, it fades from the River Plate red into the darker shade of the Toro jersey, known in Italian as Granata.

On the back of the collar is a badge depicting their combined elements again, the white with the red stripe and the bull of Toro, along with the message: ‘Eterna Amistad’ (eternal friendship).

There is a long history of Italian clubs being twinned with those in Argentina, where there has always been a huge population influx from Italy, and last year Genoa launched a fourth kit with a dedication to their friends Boca Juniors.

This is because the nickname of the club, Los Xeneizes, actually means ‘The Genoese.’
