The Italian team continuing the collaboration with the Florentine company who are the luxury partner for Gian Piero Ventura’s Azzurri side.
As reported by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), the partnership began for the European Championship in France and will carry on until the next World Cup in Russia 2018. All of the clothes were tailor-made for the players, coaches and staff according to the values and style of Ermanno Scervino. It is a dark blue outfit with stretch wool, the jacket has three buttons and is matched with pleat-less trousers. That goes with a white shirt and a blue silk tie decorated with a small Italian flag. The look is completed by a parka jacket which is the company’s signature. That is made from blue technical material and comes with ‘derby’ model shoes along with a black leather belt.
