New Balance and AS Roma Release The Legacy Collection
A tribute to the club’s origins.
New Balance pays tribute to the origins of AS Roma in The Legacy Collection. Founded in 1927, when manager Italo Foschi initiated a merger between three locals clubs, Roman FC, Fortitudo-Pro Roma SGS and SS Alba-Audace, the sportswear company highlights the latter team’s traditional color scheme through a tasteful capsule of goods.
Instead of Roma’s carmine red and golden yellow identity, the collection sports an elegant green colorway with a horizontal white band across the chest of the kit. Details include graphics on the neck and sleeves, as well as a sleek branding pattern that adorns both the base of the jersey and training top. Rounding the collection out is a special holographic crest, that shifts from a retro-inspired monogram to the club’s current logomark, atop two jersey styles — elite ($117 USD) for a more technical garment and regular ($96 USD) for a looser fit.
The Legacy Collection is now available at AS Roma’s webstore.
