Whether you’re a fan of Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, or one of their many rivals, you’ll enjoy looking back at some of the best Serie A kits of the 90s and reminiscing about your favourite players.
The 1990s was an incredible decade in the world of soccer, with many of the top teams and players that we know today reaching their apex of success.
That’s right, folks – it’s time to walk down memory lane with today’s article about the best Serie A kits of the ’90s!
AC Milan 1998/99
The 1998/99 season was a special one for AC Milan. Not only did the team win the league title, but they did so in style with this incredible kit. The striking red and black design is iconic, and the classic silhouette is still loved by fans today. It is one of the most iconic jerseys in AC Milan history; the 1998/99 kit is remembered for its simplicity and clean design.
The red and black stripes are classic, and the gold detailing adds a touch of luxury. This was the kit worn by some of the greatest players in Milan history, including Paolo Maldini, Andriy Shevchenko, and George Weah. It’s a true icon of Italian football. This kit is a true representation of ’90s soccer style at its best.
Juventus 1997/98
The Juventus 1997/98 kit is one of the best made. It was simple, stylish, and unique. The shirt was predominantly black with a white stripe down the middle. The stripe was made of smaller stripes, giving the shirt a subtle but cool textured look.
The Juventus logo was embroidered on the left chest in white, and the sponsor’s logo (Pirelli) was on the right chest in white. The kit also featured black shorts and black socks with white stripes. This kit was truly iconic and is still revered by Juventus fans today.
Parma 1997/98
Parma’s 1997/98 kit is considered one of the best ever made. The kit had white sleeves with blue and yellow stripes and blue shorts with a yellow stripe down the side. The team looked great in it. Parma had a great season, was second in Serie A, and reached the UEFA Cup final.
Parma wore this kit during their run to the UEFA Cup Final that season, and it remains one of the most iconic jerseys in Italian football history. If you’re a fan of ’90s soccer jerseys, then this is one worth checking out.
Lazio 1994/95
The 1994/95 season was memorable for Lazio, as they won the Serie A title for the first time in over two decades. That team was led by Paolo Maldini, Roberto Baggio, and Alessandro Del Piero, and they had one of the best jerseys in the league.
The kit featured a striking blue and white striped design, with a red sash running across the chest. It was simple but effective, and it helped Lazio look like a team to be reckoned with.
Sampdoria 1995/96
Sampdoria’s 1995/96 kit is one of the best in Serie A history. The blue and white vertical stripes are iconic, and the inclusion of red accents on the shirt and shorts makes for a bold and eye-catching design.
This kit was worn during a golden era for Sampdoria, as they won the league title in 1991/92 and reached the final UEFA Cup in 1992/93.
The 1995/96 season was also successful, as Sampdoria finished in fourth place and qualified for the UEFA Cup again. This kit is a true classic, and it’s easy to see why it’s so beloved by fans of Italian football.
Inter 1991-92 Third
It couldn’t help but be a British brand, Umbro, to create some of the most iconic kits of those times when in the 1990s, kits turned loose to conform to the baggy streetwear trend that first sprung up in Northern England at the end of the previous decade. The Inter Milan 1991–92 kit is the predominant example of this new aesthetic movement representing the fusion of sportswear and streetwear.
The Nerazzurri kit embodies the lysergic spirit of acid house, raves, and baggy-era Madchester with its pattern of distorted checks that almost resembles a diamond tempest that spirals across the shoulders starting from the crest even though the uniform is rarely among the Milanese club’s most renowned garments.
Napoli 1990-91
By the 1990–1991 season, Diego Maradona’s glory days were coming to an end, but Napoli continued to dominate the kit market. Even though the classic “Buitoni” stripes of the late 1980s were more iconic, the “Mars”-sponsored shirts from that season still bring back memories of El Pibe de Oro strutting his stuff in Naples.
The Supercoppa Italiana trophy from that year marked the club’s last victory for 21 years, and things at the Stadio San Paolo never returned to their former glory.
The Neapolitans have finished in the top six of Serie A for the past ten years and have won the Coppa Italia in 2012 and 2014. However, after a barren period during which they dropped as low as Serie C, the good times are back in one of Italy’s most evocative cities.
Fiorentina 1998-99
From a kit representing success to one serving as a symbol of what might have been. Despite dominating Serie A for most of the 1998–1999 campaign, Fiorentina ultimately came in third place behind Milan and Lazio.
But it’s not just about winning. This La Viola team will be remembered for some of the stars who graced the Stadio Artemio Franchi that year, similar to how Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle United team is held in such high regard despite ultimately falling short.
This was an unforgettable team playing in an incredibly fashionable violet strip, led by Francesco Toldo, Rui Costa, Edmundo, and of course, 21-goal striker Gabriel Batistuta.
