JUVENTUS’ third kit for the new season has been leaked and slated online – with some blasting the Italian giants for copying Hull City.
Photos emerged online of Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala, Matthijs de Ligt and Juan Cuadrado modelling the ‘tiger print’ number.
Juventus’ new third kit has reportedly been leaked and features a ‘tiger print’ effect
Fans were not overly pleased with the orange and black design for the Old Lady
The shirt, leaked by Footy Headlines, is orange with black trim and splattered with various black and orange splodges across the front and shoulders.
It is certainly a bold choice of design and contrasts to the sleek, stylish home and away jerseys for the 2020/21 campaign – the classic black-and-white stripes with gold trim and navy with white trim respectively.
But judging by the majority of fans’ reactions on Twitter, they will be hoping the alleged third ket does not get too many run outs.
It was labelled as “embarrassing”, “atrocious” and “a disgrace” by some.
One user compared the shirt to the East Yorkshire club: “@HullCity called. They want their kit back.”
A Tigers fan joked: “Closest we’ll ever get to Ronaldo in a Hull shirt.”
Another wrote: “It’s one of the ugliest shirts Juve ever had. Maybe the ugliest. At least the other two look not bad. I hope we won’t use the third one more than once or twice.”
A fourth added: “Looks like used toilet paper was thrown into a tie dye barrel.”
One simply said: “Terrible, utter garbage.”
And a final user commented: “This is worse than our season.”
Juventus may have won a ninth Serie A crown in a row but the 2019/20 campaign ultimately ended in disappointment.
Defeat in the Coppa Italia final was compounded by a shock Champions League last-16 exit to Lyon – enough to see Maurizio Sarri sacked.
Andrea Pirlo replaced him and has plenty of work to do before the season starts.
Most importantly, Ronaldo’s future needs securing following reports of the Portuguese hero’s unrest and links with a stunning transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
Elsewhere, Dybala is another name being tipped for a departure from the Allianz Stadium – with Barcelona, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Manchester United all reportedly interested.
Douglas Costa, Aaron Ramsey, Federico Bernardeschi, Alex Sandro and Gonzalo Higuain are all at risk of being let go by the new boss.
The Old Lady have been tipped to make moves for a new No9 with Alexandre Lacazette and Raul Jimenez among the contenders – and now Luis Suarez, too.
