The bond between a club and the territory it represents is strong and told through symbols, history, and places. Acireale, a Sicilian city on the Ionian coast, on the Riviera dei Ciclopi, is known for its natural beauty, for the Baroque architecture of its churches and palaces, but also for its Carnival, considered ‘the most beautiful in Sicily’ and certainly among the most famous in Italy, along with those of Venice and Viareggio. The Carnival is the city’s symbol, involving all its inhabitants yearly. Acireale Calcio, in order to exalt the close relationship it has with its town and its inhabitants, has decided to wear this tradition, to put it on its skin, exalting that benign madness that allows one at a specific time of year to enter into the carnival spirit where everything, or almost everything, is permitted, like giving their fans an exhilarating victory against the leading Syracuse team.
Granata in the heart of Carnival
Wearing the jersey of a club means many things: realising a dream, telling a story, and expressing a sense of belonging to the colours and symbols of a city. Acireale Calcio, a club that traces its origins back to 1929, has always been one of the landmarks of this city overlooking the Ionian Sea. Within the club, the intense bond with its territory is powerful and heartfelt. This area welcomes visitors from all over Sicily and Italy yearly during the Carnival. It was natural for the Granata club to celebrate this event by making and wearing a special jersey dedicated to a moment of unity and sharing, a spectacle that lights up the streets of Acireale crossed by fabulous floats, masks, music and merriment.
A jersey can tell a story
Garnet is the colour that identifies Acireale Calcio, often combined with white. It is precisely this union of colours that was chosen for the special jersey dedicated to Carnival 2025: a crew-neck jersey with a garnet border, a colour that also characterises the sleeve edges. Stars and confetti of different colours fly above the map of the Sicilian city inserted, tone on tone, as the background of the jersey. The jersey expresses festivity and cheerfulness and once again celebrates the relationship of the team and the club with the city, which is closely linked to its traditions and folklore. This special kit expresses, once again, the uniqueness of Macron that, to the technical quality of its garments, combines the ability to customise the jerseys of its clubs, making them at the same time ‘pages’ that can tell stories, launch messages, celebrate symbols, places, characters and, as in this case, fully represent the spirit of Carnival.
