About Palermo
US Palermo, the Rosanero, are Sicilian football's most beloved club and famous above all for their extraordinary pink and black home kit that stands alone in Italian football. No club in Serie A or Serie B wears anything quite like it, and that distinctive colour combination has become as much a symbol of Palermo and Sicily as anything the island is known for. The club has bounced between Serie A and the lower divisions, but wherever they play, the pink shirt makes them impossible to ignore.
Founded in 1900 and based in Palermo, Sicily, the club play at the Stadio Renzo Barbera. Their honours include multiple Serie A campaigns and a Coppa Italia final appearance in 2011. Known universally as the Rosanero (the Pink and Blacks) for their unique and beloved home colours.
The pink and black home shirt is one of Italian football's most instantly recognisable and cherished kits. That combination of candy pink and black gives Palermo a look unlike any other team in the Italian football pyramid, and that uniqueness is a huge part of their appeal to shirt collectors worldwide. Kappa has been a long-term kit supplier and produced some of the most beloved Palermo shirts across the Serie A years of the mid-2000s. The pink home shirts worn during top-flight campaigns, with players like Fabrizio Miccoli and a young Edinson Cavani on the pitch, hold particular nostalgic value for fans of that era.
