Pink Soccer Shirts

Italy's Palermo and occasionally Juventus are well known for wearing pink shirts*. In recent years, many clubs have worn pink for special games or occasions, often in support of Breast Cancer. Here are the clubs I came up with. There are probably a few more (especially in Italy), so feel free to let me know and I'll add more pink shirts to the list.


WEYMOUTH


CEREZO OSAKA (Japan)


VfL BOCHUM


TORONTO FC


SHAMROCK ROVERS and BOHEMIANS


SEVILLA


PATRICK THISTLE


PALERMO


OLDHAM ATHLETIC


JUVENTUS


HUDDERSFIELD TOWN


EVERTON


BENFICA






*Juventus started out with pink, but switched to the Black and White stripes (a copy of England's Nott's County, where the shirts were shipped from) after realizing the pink shirts got bleached after washing and the colors faded. They've had pink shirts on and off since then.

JUVENTUS (1898)


Here are a few more Historical Pink Kits from England (from the excellent site, Historical Football Kits)

PORTSMOUTH (1898-1909)


EVERTON (1887)


BOLTON WANDERS (1880)

    Hands down best pinks ever has to be Palermo. Their blacks with pink trim is favorite of theirs. teams in North America (aside from TFC) are afraid to use the color other than in conjunction with Breast Cancer awareness. I think if a team used it properly though it could be a phenominal marketing tool. How many women actiually buy those stupid mock NFL jerseys in pink when their team never wears them. Imagine if a team really embraced the look.
