Ronaldo models Juventus latest home kit as iconic stripes return
Cristiano Ronaldo has helped Juventus unveil their new kit for 2020-21 campaign, heralding a grand return for one of the club’s most enduring hallmarks.
The Old Lady will once again be playing in their iconic black-and-white stripes after abandoning them last year in favour of a controversial half-and-half design (although manufacturers Adidas prefer to describe it as “celebrated” in their press release for the new kit).

Inspired by modern art, the new shirt is intended to have a fresh, contemporary take on Juve’s famous stripes while still being respectful of the club’s vaunted traditions.
The result is the black bands being given a “brush stroke” aesthetic to update the pattern which is, according to Adidas, “synonymous with the club’s core identity.”
The trim is also flecked with gleaming gold which is only fitting for Ronaldo and the rest of the reigning champions.

Ronaldo will be hoping it is third time lucky in the new kit for his hopes of becoming Serie A’s top scorer in a season. After Juve lost 2-0 at Cagliari on Wednesday, the Portugal star remains on 31 league goals for the season.
His main rival to be Capocannoniere, Lazio’s Ciro Immobile, scored in a 2-0 win over over Brescia to take his 2019-20 total up to 35.
