Juventus kit leak is the funniest thing you will see today - is shirt really that bad?
JUVENTUS’ kit for the 2019/20 season has supposedly been leaked - and fans are not happy.
Juventus are desperate to win the Champions League this season and are currently cruising at the top of Serie A.
The Turin side spent £105m on Cristiano Ronaldo last summer - handing him a four-year contract worth £106m.
Juve believed they would make up a good chunk of that outlay through shirt sales.
But the Italian giants may not be banking on shirt income so much next season if reaction to their supposed new new kit is anything to go by.
A number of social media accounts have ‘leaked’ an image of the expected 2019/20 Juventus shirt from adidas.
And the immediate thing fans will notice is there are no stripes.
Juventus are famous for wearing black and white stripes but adidas appear to be moving away from that design next term.
Instead, a black and white ‘half and half’ kit has been leaked online, with a red stripe splitting the two blocks down the middle.
Jeep will once again sponsor Juventus’ shirts next season, with adidas as the manufacturer.
But the new design has not impressed fans online.
“This is awful,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
Another said: “Eeewwwwww. So gross.”
A third wrote: “The logo first, this rubbish now. An actual nightmare for the zebra old fans.”
And a fourth tweeted: “Might look better when worn but from that pic no way. Hopefully not happening”
Meanwhile, Juve are preparing for their Champions League quarter-final clash with Ajax next month.
But they may be without Cristiano Ronaldo after he suffered an injury playing for Portugal in Euro 2020 qualifying.
Ronaldo is set to miss Juve’s next three domestic games in order to be fit for the first leg of the Ajax showdown.
Juve are 15 points ahead of second-place Napoli in Serie A, so can afford to be without their star man there.
But Europe is the ultimate goal for bosses at the Juventus Stadium and officials will be desperate for the Portuguese to return.
