rewrite this title AS Roma unveil striking orange away kit for 2025/26

AS Roma and adidas have unveiled the club’s 2025/26 away kit – and it’s one of their boldest designs yet.

Inspired by the mythology of Ancient Rome, the shirt comes in a striking orange base, complete with a lightning bolt motif running across the front. The symbol is tied to Mars, the legendary god of war and thunder, giving the design a nod to the city’s millennia-old history.

The detailing is kept sharp and clean, with black accents across adidas’ trademark three stripes on the shoulders and logo. Adding to the retro feel, Roma’s classic crest from 1988-1996 makes another return – a badge that has become a familiar sight again in recent years.

The kit is available now through Roma and adidas’ official stores, and comes in two versions. The Authentic edition, worn by the players, features HEAT.RDY technology to maximise airflow and comfort during matches.

Meanwhile, the Replica version uses AEROREADY materials to keep supporters dry and comfortable in the stands.

Mixing history with modern performance tech, it’s a kit that will have Roma’s players – and their fans – feeling like they’re ready for battle. Whether it strikes fear into opponents the way Mars once did, well, that’s up to what happens on the pitch.
