Chievo Verona jersey's history And how they were designed by the club's president, Luca Campedelli

Chievo Verona's jerseys have always had a certain Christmassy flavour, perhaps because of the omnipresent Paluani sponsor on the jerseys, which immediately pointed to the Pandoro of the company run by the Campedelli family. And it was president Luca Campedelli, who at twenty-three was the youngest Italian of all time, who not only led the team from a small neighbourhood of Verona to the Serie A championship, but was also one of the first to intervene in the design of his own team's jerseys. In some cases, he even personally designed Chievo's jerseys during his presidency, as he himself confirmed in an interview for Repubblica, answering the question of whether this story was a fabrication or the truth: "Since I became president. And I don't share the crazy colours I see now: the courtesy jersey, on the street, can have a certain freedom, never exaggerate. My Chievo is yellow and blue. Someone in Verona wants to take away my colours, the cangrande, the ladder: get over it."

The stylistic experiments did not stop there: Blue kits were reintroduced as a tribute to the club's first colour, using different shapes and shades each time. There was another homage to baseball with a silver jersey inspired by the San Francisco Giants, and even an homage to Formula 1 with a black and green jersey as a tribute to British Racing Motors. Of course, there was no shortage of special jerseys for Christmas with glittering golden details, but the last mention is dedicated to the equally revisable and unforgettable home jersey worn by Chievo at the Scala del Calcio, San Siro, on the occasion of the release of the film "Anaconda".
