Puma released the 12-13 Italy home kit & shirt during the previous weeks. It made its debut during Italy’s friendly home defeat to Uruguay, 0-1, and it will be worn by the team during Euro 2012. The shirt features a white collar with strips representing the Italian flag, the four stars representing Italy’s four World Cup wins as well as some embossed graphics which it could do without if you ask me. You can buy it from Kitbag and UKSoccerShop. Here are the most important kit items:
