Torino

Torino FC carry the weight of Italian football history on their shoulders, and they bear it with honour. The Grande Torino of the 1940s was the greatest club side Italy had ever seen, a team that won five consecutive Serie A titles before the Superga air disaster of 1949 claimed the lives of the entire squad. That tragedy forever bonded Torino to the soul of their city, and the granata shirt has been worn ever since as a badge of memory, pride, and defiance. Founded in 1906, Torino play at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino and compete in Serie A. Key honours include seven Serie A titles, most earned in the 1940s by the Grande Torino side. Known as Il Toro, the club's granata colours are one of Italian football's most recognised and emotionally charged identities. The granata shirt is Torino. Dark maroon-red home kits have defined the club across every era, from the cotton jerseys of the Grande Torino years to modern fitted designs from Kappa. The 1940s title shirts carry reverence far beyond football. Kappa, as a Turin-born manufacturer, has a particularly fitting relationship with the club and has produced some beautifully crafted granata home kits over the years. Away kits in white and blue offer a clean contrast but the home shirt is always where the heart of Torino lies.
