AS Roma have unveiled their adidas away kit for the 2025/26 season, a predominantly orange design that the club has framed around the iconography of Ancient Rome.
According to 90min, the strip features a lightning motif and a retro version of the club crest — details that position it as something more considered than a straightforward change of colour.
Orange has only an occasional history in Roma's palette, which has long been defined by the deep red and gold of their home colours. A deliberate step away from that tradition tends to invite attention, and this kit appears to have been conceived with that in mind. The mythological reference point gives the design a narrative that the club can carry into its marketing, connecting the modern institution to the ancient city it represents.
Adidas has held Roma's kit supply contract through a period of considerable turbulence for the club, both on and off the pitch. The relationship has produced strips that have generally leaned into Roma's heritage, and the retro crest on this away shirt continues that tendency. Whether the lightning detail reads as bold or overwrought will depend on the eye of the beholder, but the decision to build around a single strong colour rather than split the palette suggests a degree of confidence in the concept.
Roma are currently preparing for the 2025/26 Serie A season. Away kits often see their heaviest use in European competition, where the clash of colours between sides is more frequently an issue, and Roma's participation in continental football in the coming campaign will determine how widely the strip is seen across the season.
No pricing or wider release details were included in the 90min report.
