Venezia FC’s first kit release for the 2021/22 Serie A season — and the club's first release in a new partnership with Kappa — is the 21/22 home shirt, presenting a  look inspired by Venetian details and iconography.

Upon close look, the home shirt’s base reveals a printed trompe l’oeil Venetian wall texture, created from photographs of aged façades taken around the lagoon, elevating the piece from a standard flat black top, and making it uniquely derived from the city.

The textured black base is embellished with impressive gold elements, inspired by the city’s gilded churches, monuments, and palazzi and the overall historical significance of gold in Venetian art and commerce going back to the Late Medieval and Early Renaissance periods. Most notably, the shirt features the gold stars of the iconic Basilica di San Marco arranged as a “V”.

Venezia’s orange and green come together in a flag positioned at the upper center chest and also accent the collar and sleeves.

The design of the home kit — and the rest of the 21/22 collection, including four  match kits in total — was led by New York creative agency Fly Nowhere in collaboration with Kappa.

The release of Venezia’s home shirt arrives with the launch of the club’s new web store at 

, designed by renowned Munich-based studio Bureau Borsche.

Venezia’s 21/22 away shirt will be released on Friday 30 July.
