The Iconic Juventus Shirt: 2019/20 Home Shirt

Some shirts are remembered for their beauty, others for the players who wore them. The Juventus 2019/20 home shirt is remembered for both — a bold break from tradition that split opinion and became forever linked with Cristiano Ronaldo at the height of his time in Turin.

Breaking Tradition

For more than a century, Juventus were defined by their black and white stripes. In 2019, adidas tore up the template. Instead of stripes, Juve’s home kit featured a half-and-half design — black on one side, white on the other — divided by a thin pink line running down the centre. That pink detail was a subtle nod to the club’s original colours from the late 1800s, before stripes became the identity.

It was the first Juventus home shirt without stripes since 1903, making it an instant piece of history and one of the most talked-about releases of the season.

Ronaldo in Black and White

By 2019/20, Cristiano Ronaldo was firmly established as the face of Juventus. His move from Real Madrid the year before had been one of the biggest transfers in modern football, and in this kit he delivered his best scoring season in Italy. Ronaldo netted 37 goals across all competitions — driving Juve to yet another Serie A title.

While the team’s Champions League campaign ended in disappointment against Lyon, Ronaldo still produced iconic moments in this shirt, including his two goals in the second leg of that tie. For collectors, that combination of controversial design and one of the game’s greatest players makes the shirt stand out in any collection.

The Cultural Impact

The design sparked debate far beyond Turin. Some fans hated the loss of stripes, others embraced the bold step into a more fashion-forward look. Whatever side of the argument you fall on, this shirt is instantly recognisable — and for many, it defines the Ronaldo era at Juventus.
