Introducing the Away Shirt for 1996-98, designed by Nike, crafted for the Italian football team under the guidance of coach Arrigo Sacchi who had led his squad to Euro '96. This shirt was revealed in preparation for the tournament, showcasing Nike's commitment to combining performance with style.
The design of the away shirt was a simple yet effective reversal of the home version. It maintained the same aesthetics but presented in alternate colors. This continuity in design exemplified the unity and identity of the team.
Like the home shirt, it was constructed from Nike's innovative Dri-FIT fabric, a technology developed to wick away sweat, thereby keeping players cool and comfortable under the pressures of the game. This feature ensured that the players could perform at their peak, regardless of the challenges posed by their environment.
This shirt made its mark in the memorable 3-1 victory over Moldova during a 1998 World Cup qualifier in 1996, a testament to the team's strength and the effectiveness of their equipment.
Adorned by notable players such as Roberto Di Matteo and Moreno Torricelli, the away shirt was not just a piece of sportswear, but a symbol of Italian football's elegance and determination during that era. It remains a cherished piece of football memorabilia for fans and a proud reminder of the Italian team's achievements.
