The new kit designed for the occasion will then be available for purchase at the Torino FC Store
Torino presents the special shirt dedicated to Grande Torino which will be worn by the team on the occasion of Turin-Bologna. Alessandro Annibale of Joma Italia and Massimo Nalli of Suzuki spoke on the sidelines of Ivan Juric’s press conference. “Joma Italia has been alongside Toro for five years. We have been very dynamic in terms of creations, this is not the first special shirt produced. It is a shirt that is produced in a limited edition. It has so many special things. There are 750 numbered copies. It is delivered and produced in a package designed in every detail. We believe it is a prestigious product, but it doesn’t always win favor with the public. It has a vintage look that reflects history, but obviously we had to combine this with modernity because today’s football has its needs. We cannot do what happened on the 40th anniversary of Superga, in 1989, when they played with a truly vintage shirt. All the sponsors made themselves available, with tone-on-tone logos that do not impact the shirt. We believe we have done a good thing to honor Superga’s 75th anniversary.”
Thus Massimo Nalli: “Being a sponsor of Toro is different from being a sponsor of other teams. Taurus has a history that is tragically unique but an unrepeatable feeling is based on that history. And so the team of sponsors, and here I am honored to represent them all, including Beretta, found themselves in the position of making a different choice. Usually the sponsor focuses on the visibility of its brand. With great honor, all the sponsors of the Bull have focused on taking a lateral step in visibility and a step forward in the union of intent with the Bull. Suzuki has been at Torino’s side for eleven years. Sponsorships usually teach us that they don’t have to last that long, but we are proud that this is the case and we hope that the situation will remain this way.”
Have you talked about the future with Taurus? Joma’s contract expires, Suzuki expires in 2025.
Hannibal: “Clearly discussions have been held, you have to imagine that for a product run like that of Turin, production must be started in advance, almost a year in advance. So Torino already knows, they have already made their assessments. I respond as a good sporting director would: if there are opportunities we will seize them. We are certainly talking, I think it could be a marriage that can continue.”
Nalli: “I already anticipated it in my previous speech. We have been sponsors for eleven years. With Torino we chose each other. Both have and had other alternatives but we chose each other and I think we will choose each other again even if I don’t know the future.”
