Reggiana

AC Reggiana 1919 are one of Italian football's most distinctive clubs, a Reggio Emilia side whose granata (maroon) shirts set them apart from every other club in the country. Founded in 1919 and twice forced to rebuild from the lower divisions after financial collapses, Reggiana are a club built on defiance and community pride. Their greatest era came in the early 1990s when they won the Serie B title in 1992 to 1993 and reached Serie A, competing at the top level for three seasons in a side that captured the imagination of Italian football. Founded in 1919, AC Reggiana 1919 are based in Reggio Emilia, Emilia-Romagna, and compete in Serie B, Italy's second division. Their home colours are granata (dark maroon), which gives the club their nickname I Granata. Major honours include the Serie B title in 1992 to 1993. The club has been refounded twice after financial difficulties, most recently in 2018, and returned to Serie B in 2020. The granata home shirt is Reggiana's defining image, a deep maroon that makes them one of the most visually unique clubs in Italian football. The early 1990s kits, worn during the Serie B title-winning campaign and the subsequent Serie A seasons, are the shirts most treasured by I Granata supporters. The contrast between that rich maroon and the dark blue of the traditional shorts gives Reggiana one of the most distinctive looks in Italian football. More recent kits have brought fresh designs to the granata colour while keeping the deep maroon at the heart of the club's identity.
