Napoli will have a date with Milan on Sunday that could be historic. ‘Azzurri’ and ‘rossoneri’ both occupy the leadership of Calcio, with Inter two points behind (and with a game in hand). With a victory and ten days to go, Spalletti’s men, who no longer compete in other competitions, would dream of the scudetto like never before in recent years, and for the big date they decided to change their suit… For the umpteenth time.
This afternoon, the club announced that on Sunday they will wear a new shirt, the red ‘Maradona Game’, the fourth version of the line dedicated to Pelusa. The ‘partenopei’ will wear red, then, and continue adding new outfits with a strategy without precedent in Serie A. The one on Sunday will be the elastic number 13 of this course, after the classic blue, white and red, the three European versions (with golden details) of these three, the special one for Halloween with the drawing of cobwebs, the two with ‘flames’ (one of them, used for the second leg with Barça) and the four ‘Maradona Game’ (light blue, dark blue, white and red).

The elastics cost between 125 and 150 euros, and its versions dedicated to Maradona, the most expensive, quickly sold out. A commercial success that, however, also caused some controversy among the tifosi. The classic ‘maglia azzurra’, in 27 league games, has been used just 12 times…
