Italy National Football Team: A Brief History of the Federation and its Kit

The Italian National Football Team may be considered history's most successful European football federation for their dominance in World Cup competition. Having won the World Cup Trophy in 1934, 1938, 1982, and 2006, their four victories in the tournament is a mark only eclipsed by Brazil's five. They also have one European Championship to their credit, having won the tournament in 1968, and one Olympic Football Championship, having won the gold in 1936. Founded in 1910, the Italian National Team is now entering its second century of excellence, with greats from the 2006 World Cup Champion squad like Gianluigi Buffon, Gennaro Gattuso, Francesco Totti, Alessandro Del Piero, and Fabio Cannavaro passing the torch to the next generation of Italian players such as Belotti, Verratti and Chiesa.

The classic blue of the Italy Home Shirt is an homage to the royal dynasty which unified Italy in 1861, and has earned the federation the nickname gli azzurri (the blues). Pure yet elegant, traditional yet proud, the white of the Italy Away Shirt is no less quintessentially Italian. The crest that adorns the Italy Home Shirt and the Italy Away Shirt bears the three colors of the Italy flag and four stars which eternally commemorate the federation's four World Cup Championships.
