Serie A champions Juventus unveiled their new home kit for the 2019-20 season. However, for the first time in over a century, they have removed the iconic black-and-white stripes traditionally worn by players.
The club was founded in 1897, but players have worn black and white stripes of various types since 1903.
Next season Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates will wear a half-and-half jersey with white on the right and black on the left.
Una scelta. Una promessa. Fianco a fianco. BE THE STRIPES.

However, this has not been taken lightly by the Juventus fans who, in a majority, are not too satisfied with this change and with the design of the new jersey.
Here are the reactions of the Bianconeri fans to this 'innovative' Juve jersey:

You have the player who sells more shirts in history, and you came up with this horrible jersey? It's like you don't even want to take advantage of CR7

Sincerely, I don't like it.

Are you asking us to “be the stripes” because you forgot to include them?
