Italy football team jersey and stadiums

The colour of the Italian football team is all blue. The jersey worn by the national team is blue in colour. Blue is significant because it was the colour of the royal dynasty as well. This jersey comes in various sizes and patterns. For the players, it is available in short as well as long sleeves in different sizes. The players are required to give their sizes to help the manufacturer customise it. One more thing to keep in mind while making these jerseys is the name and number of the players. Players need to have their names and the desired number on the jersey. By doing so this becomes unique to the specific player.

The football federation in Italy is responsible to run the national teams in the country. It also handles the overall administration and the operations of the league. The Italian cup is known as Coppa Italia and even this one is run by football federation. The champions in the league are entitled to get a shield on their jerseys. Teams are entitled to get a gold star on the jersey if they won 10 leagues. So, if you come across a jersey which has a gold star on it, means, and the team is a champion of 10 leagues.
