Sampdoria unveil official Macron jerseys for 2020/21 season

UC Sampdoria have unveiled the official Macron playing jerseys that the team will wear in the upcoming 2020/21 season.

The announcement comes one week after the launch of the partnership with Macron, the third-biggest tech brand in Europe and the global leader in the teamwear sector.

The new home jersey encapsulates the history and tradition of the classic Blucerchiati jersey in royal blue with four horizontal stripes white, red, black and white again wrapping around the torso. The shirt has a knitted polo collar, with the club’s colours and logo inside the shirt on the rear part of the neck, along with the words “90-91 La nostra favola” [Our fairy tale], to mark the 30th anniversary of our Scudetto win.

The rear of the collar features the words “U.C. Sampdoria” as part of an embossed graphic, while the famous Baciccia symbol is included at the bottom of the shirt in relief. The right breast features the Macron Hero logo in silicon, while the left breast is home to a patch featuring the UC Sampdoria crest. Completing the home kit are white shorts with a royal blue drawstring waist and white socks with royal blue trim at the top.

The away jersey is in white and maintains the same graphic style as the home shirt. The jersey has a V-neck and the sleeves feature royal blue trim. The classic Blucerchiati stripes again have pride of place in the centre of the torso, while an embossed design of the Baciccia features on the left sleeve. The club’s colours and logo are again included inside the shirt on the rear part of the neck, along with “90-91 La nostra favola”, while the rear of the collar again features the words “U.C. Sampdoria”. The Macron Hero logo in blue silicon is positioned on the right breast, with the club crest positioned on the left. Royal blue shorts and socks complete the away kit.

Last but not least, the third jersey is in black and features a knitted polo collar with sleeve trim to match. The embossed design of the Baciccia again features on the left sleeve, while the detailing on the inside of the neck is the same as the home and away jerseys. The Macron Hero logo and UC Sampdoria crest are positioned on the right and left of the chest, while the shorts and socks are in black.

All of the kits are slim fitting and include micromesh sections to ensure optimum breathability.

Adorning all of the new UC Sampdoria kits, and indeed all technical garments produced by Macron for the Blucerchiati, is the Italian brand’s iconic Macron Hero logo. Depicting a human form, the logo is inspired by the action of throwing and conveys a sense of dynamism and speed, encapsulating the joy of completing a challenge. It is the perfect embodiment of the Macron philosophy: “Work hard. Play harder.”
