The Kappa Cup kicks off later this week, and the jerseys that will be worn reflect the tournament's objective of celebrating the culture and communities of the host cities.
Beautiful Kappa Cup Jerseys
2022 was the first year of the Kappa Cup, a five a side tournament held in different cities around Italy, with the goal of celebrating the culture, creativity and communities that inhabit these cities. It's back again this year, taking place in Bari, Naples and Milan. For the Bari leg of the event, local designer Leo Colacicco - the man behind Bari's amazing special kits - has designed the kits for the three participating teams; Vita Lenta, WeGoing.Sound and LC23. Check them out below.
LC23
The designer has his own team playing in the tournament under the name of his brand. Their jerseys show and exterior of the Teatro Petruzelli (Bari's largest theatre) against the blue sky. The goalkeeper shirt recreates the scenes inside the theatre at night, with the red seats contrasted by the black background.

Vita Lenta
Vita Lenta is a collective of artists "Celebrating humans, simplicity and life as it is", and their postcard like shirts reflect that manifesto. Italian architecture and everyday life are represented here with portrayals of a woman hanging bedsheets out to dry and a man fishing by the sea.
WeGoing.Sound
WeGoing.Sound run club nights and musical events around Italy, highlighting up-and-coming artists. Their shirt takes inspiration from the famous Coogi sweater worn by Notorious B.I.G, a garment that will forever be linked to 90s hip hop.
