U.S. Catanzaro 1929 and Eye Sport unveil the new Third Kit 2026/27, a project that intertwines football, art, and territorial identity in tribute to Mimmo Rotella, a symbolic figure of the city and one of the most important interpreters of modern Italian art, on the twentieth anniversary of his passing.

The new jersey is inspired by the gesture that made Rotella’s artistic language unique: the tear. A mark capable of transforming fragments, memory, and matter into a new vision. From this concept comes a shirt that tells a story of belonging, collective energy, and a deep connection to one’s roots.

The graphic pattern recalls the torn urban posters reinterpreted in a contemporary way, while the Royal and Cyan shades evoke the colors frequently used by the artist. Completing the design are exclusive details such as the ribbed collar, customized jacquard cuffs, and an inner inscription dedicated to the meaning of the “tear” within Rotella’s creative universe.

The kit’s payoff, “Peace and Prophecy,” comes from one of the artist’s most profound reflections:

“Today, art can do much against this century of violence and terrorism because art is peace and prophecy.”

A thought that resonates even more strongly today. Through this jersey, Eye Sport and U.S. Catanzaro 1929 aim to give voice to a message of identity, belonging, and collective participation, transforming Rotella’s artistic expression into a symbolic response to the themes of war, oppression, and violence that mark our time.

As in the master’s works, different fragments come together here in a single composition. Lives, stories, faces, and generations become one unified voice capable of supporting a team, representing a city, and conveying the most authentic values of sport: unity, pride, respect, and sharing.

The Third Kit 2026/27 also fully embodies the creative philosophy of Eye Sport, a brand that interprets every jersey as a story of identity. For Eye Sport, football is not just performance, but popular culture, collective memory, and territorial belonging. Every project is born from listening to the cities, traditions, symbols, and stories that make a sporting community unique.

Wearing a jersey therefore means wearing a territory, its soul, and its culture, reinterpreting them through a modern, global, and pop visual language. It is precisely in this ability to transform local and identity-based elements into a contemporary aesthetic that Eye Sport’s vision is expressed: giving new form to roots, making them current, recognizable, and shareable even beyond the boundaries of football.

The new Catanzaro Third Kit thus becomes much more than a uniform: a visual manifesto that unites art, territory, and passion into one shared identity.
