Italy 2009 confederation cup Puma shirt
A light blue shirt, dark brown with light blue socks and dark brown or white shorts: The new Italy 2009 confederation cup kit, manufactured by Puma is officially unveiled by the FIGC. The Italians will wear the new kit in South Africa at the Confederations Cup as a special edition devoted exclusively to this event.
The shirt is available at the FSC Shop.
This will be Italy's shirt until the friendly match vs Switzwerland on the 12th of August 2009, after that the classic Azzurro will return for the World Cup 2010 kit.
This original colour choice is to honour the early 30's Italian National team, trained by Vittorio Pozzo (World champion '34, '38, Olympic gold in '36).'
“It is a less intense blue - said the coach Marcello Lippi - but, whatever the colour is, the four stars are there and we want to honour this jersey. "
Andrea Rogg (Puma CEO) said: '' This choice was made to honour early 30's National team, that used to wear light blue, with black shorts. We choose a dark brown for aesthetic reasons”

Puma honours the italian squad with special puma shirts-not with the 0815 template. This one is very, very nice.
I think Adidas should do the same with germany-especially when they are from germany as well.
Nice shirt!! 8-9 out of 10
The drawing with leonardo da vinci, mona lisa and italian sights ist beautiful.
very very patriotic and nice. I personally(maybe i missed it) would have add the pisa tower, the colosseum(!!) and some references to the fantastic food they make.
Respect from a german!!!!
It is Like a Lazio Roma Shirt now.
They\'ve made shiny material look class.. the whole kit.. is amazing! Nicely done!
And my darling Max. Calling SS Lazio \"Lazio Roma\" could get you stabbed.
Buenas Noches
But I also think that Italians will not understand this shirt, we have not a culture of the National team shirt like for example England has. Most of Italians didn\'t see any images of 30\'s national shirt, and moreover there is not any affetionate mental links with those years. A similar recall operation could be done with shirts from 70\'s, like Kappa did in 2000, and that shirt had a great success, or with \'82 shirt, expecially now that we are World Champion.I still hope that wc 2010 shirt will be similar to \'82 one, with a traditional polo collar with tricolor trims.( ..I hope someone from Puma uses to read read thiss blog..)
So maybe it will have success out of Italy, but here I can already imagine negative comments, like \'\'it looks like Lazio/Napoli shirt...\'\'
Maybe I\'ll buy the brown shorts.
Very unique and out-of-the-ordinary. This kind of creativity should be applauded. Bravo, Puma! :cheer:
a Italian kit in normal blue as previous kits dark blue. I wan\'t to see
the kit of the Netherlands and Brazil I hope coming soon.
UHDAhufhuhuuaHauHAuHAuH
What means the \"R\" on the sock? Means that it goes on the Right foot? Ha ha!
Fool.
Loving it and the brown goes very well with it IMO.
The dark Azzurri blue is coming back soon so it\'s not that big of a deal as some purists will lead you to believe.
I\'m going to buy it because it might become a collectors item down the road.
FORZA AZZURRI!!!
