Umbro are set to launch another 90s inspired collection, this time with Italian masters of calcio nostalgica, Tacchettee. The collection drops at midnight on Thursday the 14th of April and is made up of three track jackets, sweatshirts, tracksuit bottoms and t-shirts, with the main source of inspiration being some iconic Inter, Napoli and Lazio shirt designs from Serie A’s golden era.

The 90s are considered by many to be the pinnacle of football shirt aesthetic, and Umbro can lay claim to some of the best designs of the decade, be it shirts, training wear or tracksuits. Given the current and enduring appetite for all things 90s, it’s only natural that Umbro should look through their extensive back catalogue for some inspiration.
They took patterns from Napoli’s 91-92 home shirt, Lazio’s 94-95 third shirt and Inter’s 91-92 away jersey and applied them to the three track jackets of the collaboration, seen below.
The Tacchettee stud logo takes the place of the club badges, with the brand name written in the same font as the clubs’ respective sponsor logos at the time. This can be seen on the back of the grey and white Lazio-inspired track jacket and the sleeve taping of a black Inter-inspired top.
The other pieces are more somewhat simpler as the colour palette is quite plain, but still contain references to the 90s gear in the details and the sleeve taping, with brighter colours used for these touches.
