Parma

Parma are one of Italian football's great romantics, a club from the Po Valley who stormed into the European elite in the early 1990s and delivered a golden era that still makes their supporters sigh with nostalgia. Bankrolled by the Parmalat dairy empire, Parma won multiple European trophies and domestic cups in a single decade of extraordinary ambition, all while wearing some of the most distinctive yellow and blue kits Italian football has ever produced.

Founded in 1913 and based in Parma, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, the club play at the Stadio Ennio Tardini. Their honours include 2 UEFA Cups, 1 Cup Winners' Cup (1993), 2 Coppa Italia wins, and 1 Supercoppa Italiana. Nicknamed I Crociati (The Crusaders) for the crusader cross on their club crest.

The yellow and navy blue combination is Parma's most enduring look. The 1990s kits, supplied by Lotto with Parmalat sponsorship, are among the most collected in Italian football. The kit worn by Gianfranco Zola, Tomas Brolin, and Faustino Asprilla during the 1993 Cup Winners' Cup victory has near-legendary status. The aesthetic of those early 1990s shirts, with their distinctive diagonal yellow and blue sections and the Parmalat logo, captures an era when Parma were one of European football's most exciting and glamorous sides.
