History: Every blue Roma kit from 1992 to today!

For the sixth time in the club's history, Roma have a blue kit. And this season's New Balance 4th kit - ASR Edition is available to purchase now at the official club store!

For the start of this unlikely tradition, you need to go back almost 30 years - to a kit the club in fact only ever wore once.

That was on 18 May 1992, when the third kit for that season was worn in the second leg of the club's Cup Winners' Cup tie against Monaco.

Adidas were the shirt-makers on that occasion, crafting a shirt that carried a number of elements made famous by national teams during the 1990 World Cup and 1992 European Championships.

With blue dominating, the yellow and red accents across the shoulders, collar and cuffs made for a striking kit that quickly gained a strong following.

Interestingly, though, the kit lacked the Coppa Italia winners' badge that the team had earned the season prior.

The game itself did not turn out as hoped - Monaco winning 1-0 to eliminate the Giallorossi from the competition - but the shirt nevertheless came to be beloved by many fans.

It became something of a pub quiz answer - with the Giallorossi not wearing a shirt that was not either white or red until 1996, when a green kit was donned for the meeting with Slavia Prague in the UEFA Cup.

Blue, in fact, did not return to become a dominant colour on a Roma kit until the 2000-01 season - a campaign where Roma would famously win the Serie A title.

That season Kappa introduced a striking blue design, with orange accents.

That kit had a bit more use than its predecessor - being worn on three occasions (Bari 1-4 Roma, Hamburg 0-3 Roma, Vicenza 0-2 Roma).

Kappa opted to stick with the colour scheme for the following campaign, changing some of the design elements but retaining the same overall idea.

After black made a return the following season, in 2003-04 the blue third kit was announced once again - this time through Diadora.

Orange remained the predominant accent colour, although a little bit of red was also included.

The shirt made a number of appearances - even being worn during a few home games during the club's UEFA Cup campaign that season.

Sixteen seasons later, for the 2019-20 season, once again the Giallorossi ran out in a blue kit on occasions.

The third kit got use both in Europe and in domestic games, with the design itself harking back to the club's very first blue kit.

This season, that trend has been revived - albeit with New Balance putting their own spin on the mix of tradition and innovation.

Revealed on October 21, the kit features both the Lupetto insignia across the shirt and the traditional 'ASR' club badge on the chest - with red and yellow lines completing the effect.
