Giallorossi stars give their take on new away shirt

Francesco Totti, Kevin Strootman, Radja Nainggolan and Juan Jesus donned AS Roma's new away shirt for the first time on Thursday.

All four players took part in an event organised jointly by the club and Nike for the launch of the new kit on the Giallorossi's digital-media platforms.

They were able to appreciate up close all the details of the team's second strip for the season ahead.

"It's always an honour to pull on the Roma shirt," Totti revealed to asroma.com. "I also like the fact that the Lupetto has made a return; I've already had the pleasure of wearing it many times in the past."

The image of the wolf was emblazoned on the club's jersey for 19 seasons from 1978-79 to 1996-97 - but hasn't been seen on the away kit since 2012-13.

"I like the away kit," said Strootman while trying out the shirt. "I particularly appreciate the shade of white."

The colour chosen for the fabric was defined by Nike as marble white, in a nod to the iconic architecture of the Italian capital and its landmarks.

Nainggolan was also impressed by the Lupetto badge. "It's beautiful, I know the fans appreciate it because it has been used a lot in the past."

Juan Jesus only became a Giallorossi player last week but has been able to familiarise himself with the new shirt straight away.

"I really like the new kit, all in white with the stylised symbol of the wolf," he said. "It's also comfortable and the material seems top-quality to me."
