Serie A side, Torino kit honours South American club, River Plate in their latest home kit after 1949 Superga tragedy

TORINO'S new kit honours their 'eternal friendship' with River Plate after the 1949 Superga tragedy.


The Serie A side unveiled their away strip for the 2021-22 season on Friday, July 16th 2021. The new features a white shirt complete with a red sash from the left shoulder to the right hip - just like the iconic River Plate design.


However, rather than the bright, scarlet red of the Argentine giants, Torino's jersey uses the Granata burgundy shade of their traditional home colours. The sash features the words 'eterna amistad' which translates from Spanish as 'eternal friendship' as fans hope to see captain Andrea Belotti line up in the jersey next season.

On the inside of the collar, the Italian version 'eterna amicizia' is followed by 'Torino 26 maggio (May) 1949'.

Recall that the aeroplane carrying the Grande Torino - the greatest side in the club's history - crashed into the retaining wall of the Basilica of Superga back in May this year.

The date of the friendly match played in the aftermath of the Superga tragedy is included inside the collar.
