The Bologna FC 1909, on the eve of the second Champions League match, presented the’European Game Set that Macron, the Bologna-based club’s long-standing kit supplier, has produced the kit for the Rossoblù. Vincenzo Italiano’s side will wear the kit as early as tomorrow, Wednesday 2 October, in the historic clash against Liverpool FC at Anfield.

On this premier European stage, Bologna FC 1909 will take to the pitch in a kit that combines an elegant colour scheme with the technical innovation that characterises Macron’s garments. The colour black, enhanced by gold detailing and accents of red and blue, serves as a tribute to Europe’s premier competition, where Bologna is once again taking centre stage. The Champions League Game Set, like all the garments designed for the club by Macron, is made entirely from fabrics Eco Fabric, made from 100% derived from post-consumer plastic recycling.

The’European Bologna FC’s 2024/25 Kit Set It is all black, with a crew neck and red-and-blue knitted sleeve cuffs, accented by a double gold stripe. The choice of black pays tribute to the “Champions League Nights” returning to Bologna, and this theme is complemented by gold detailing and, above all, the graphic design that features across the entire shirt. Both the front and back feature rows of small embossed stars, evoking the symbol of Europe’s most prestigious club competition. The Macron Hero logo on the right-hand side of the chest is also in gold, flanked on the left by the Bologna FC 1909 crest; both are printed using a silicone finish.

The label on the inside of the back neck is personalised with the club’s colours and the gold lettering “LO SQUADRON IS BACK”. This refers to the “Squadrone che tremare il mondo fa” (the squadron that makes the world tremble), namely Bologna, which dominated Italian and European football in the 1930s and won four league titles, two Central European Cups and the prestigious Paris Exposition Tournament during that period. The label is completed by the Macron logo and the inscription ‘Designed in Bologna’, which certifies that every garment is conceived, designed and developed in Macron Campus, just a few minutes’ drive from the Rossoblù’s training centre in Casteldebole.

On the back of the collar, beneath the neckline, is the Italian flag, surmounted by the club’s motto, “WE ARE ONE”, printed in gold. A gold stripe runs across the bottom of the back of the shirt. The black shorts echo the shirt’s design with rows of embossed stars and red, blue and gold inserts on the side and along the back of the thigh. The socks are black with the word ‘BOLOGNA’ and the Macron Hero logo in gold on the front, and a horizontal red-and-blue stripe in the centre at the back, bordered by two thin gold lines.

The’European Game Set has a fit Slim fit and is made entirely from Eco Fabric, specifically Eco Softlock, featuring a panel made of Eco Micromesh at the back, which makes the shirt lighter and more breathable.
