AS Roma Shirts

AS Roma, the capital club

The Roma is one of the most popular clubs in Italy, with a connection to its city that few European teams can claim. Its national trophies are more modest than those of the big clubs in the North, with three Scudetti, but the supporters' attachment can't be measured in trophies.

Francesco Totti is its absolute symbol: a whole career at the club, captain for nearly twenty years, staying despite offers from the biggest European teams. This loyalty has become rare, and it explains part of the club's image.

The Stadio Olimpico, shared with the Lazio, hosts the derby della Capitale, one of the most intense matches in Italian football.

Garnet and yellow, the colours of Rome

The home shirt of the Roma is garnet with yellow accents, which gives the club its nickname giallorossi. These colours are those of the city of Rome it-self, which reinforces the link between the club and its territory.

The Capitoline wolf, nursing Romulus and Remus, features on the crest. It is one of the most historically charged symbols in football, and collections regularly feature it in designs or prints.

Home, away, third: which one to choose?

The home jersey is the garnet and yellow of the Olimpico, the one most supporters buy and one that remains recognizable long after.

The away jersey is traditionally white, a kit to which the club is attached. It is the one that is easiest to wear outside the stadium.

The third takes the most liberties in design and is produced in smaller quantities. It becomes sought after once it is sold out.

Supporter version or player version?

The supporter version has a straight, looser fit and is made from a breathable but soft material. It is the one worn in the stadium as well as on the street, and the default choice if you're unsure.

The player version, known as authentic, replicates the on-pitch kit: a tight fit, technical fabric, different finishes. It is noticeably more fitted, to the point that it’s common to go up a size, sometimes two.

What size of Roma shirt should you take?

In the supporter version, your usual t-shirt size usually works in most cases, with enough room to wear a layer underneath.

In the player version, count on going a size up at least, as these shirts are fitted.

For children, the junior sizes follow age and height in centimeters rather than adult sizes.

Personalisation: name, number and badges

The official Serie A lettering has its own typography, different from that used in European competitions. This is what distinguishes an official personalization from an approximation.

A personalised shirt is no longer exchangeable, so size should be checked before ordering. At Roma more than anywhere else, many supporters choose an iconic number rather than a current player.

Other Serie A clubs

The Italian league is rich in historic clubs, and each has its own page:

• The Lazio Rome, the neighbour of the derby della Capitale, with whom Roma shares the Stadio Olimpico.
• The Juventus, the most decorated club in Italy.
• The Inter Milan and the Milan AC, the two clubs of San Siro.
• Naples, Atalanta Bergame, Fiorentina, Torino, Bologna, Udinese, Cagliari, Hellas Verona, and Sampdoria complete the selection.

The other clubs page covers the rest of the league, and the Serie A page brings them all together.

Frequently asked questions

What does giallorossi mean?

It’s Italian for yellow and red, the two colours of the city of Rome, adopted by the club. The home shirt is garnet with yellow accents.

Why a wolf on the Roma crest?

It’s the Capitoline wolf, which according to legend nursed Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. The club thus takes up the oldest symbol of its city.

What’s the difference between the supporter shirt and the player shirt?

The supporter shirt has a straight and comfortable fit, designed for everyday wear. The player shirt replicates the on-pitch kit, with a close fit and more technical fabric, so is definitely more fitted.

Should I go up a size?

In the supporter version, your usual size works. In the player version, count on going up at least a size, sometimes two if you don’t want a tight-fitting shirt.
