Six Shades of Dope: Ranking Nike's Third Kits

Ent
Los Rojiblancos

#3 Inter Milan

After a six-year absence from Europe's elite competition, and an unprecedented fall from grace, there's a new swagger about Il Nerazzurri and Luciano Spalletti is the proud tactician leading the pack, but their third kit is varying degrees of dope.

Predominantly light grey with dark blue and silver logos, Inter's 2018-19 third kit was Inspired by the club's heritage and tradition; the principal feature is a large centralized cross, complemented by a distorted map of Milan's city centre, as well as the surrounding area of Duomo Cathedral -the seat of the archbishop of Milan.

The template is Nike's latest, the Vapor Aeroswift.

#2 AS Roma

Forza Giallorossi

“For 2018-19, our third kits have been exploring the cities these clubs represent, and in the case of Rome, what really makes it special is this long and colourful history, full of myth and legend,” explains Pete Hoppins, Nike Football Apparel Senior Design Director. “We really wanted to delve into that and do it justice with this design.”

The rich history of the eternal city of Rome is beautifully expressed in AS Roma's 2018/19 third kit; a series of aerial map views of key moments in Roman history, from ancient times, to present, to form a distinctive pattern for the fiery gold jersey.

Discreetly embedded within, is the she-wolf described in the founding myth of Rome, which was proudly adopted as a powerful club symbol for the Giallorossi.
