Is pink the new color of football? From Juventus in 1987 to Barça in the last decade: the trend continues

Colors in football have always been fundamental, not only for a matter of regulations but also and above all for a matter of identity. In addition to symbolizing belonging to a club and a culture, colors are the most visible aesthetic element. Although the palettes are practically infinite, there are certain colors that are less explored than others. Pink, for example, is the basic color of very few teams: Palermo in Italy, Evian in France, Sport Boys in Peru and a few months ago David Beckham's Miami Inter FC.

In Spain it's Barcelona who hold the record for pink jerseys: in the 10-11, 14-15 and 18-19 seasons, the Catalans partly abandon the Blaugrana colors and dive into different shades of pink. The case of "pink football" that caused the most controversy remains that of Boca Juniors in 2013, with the fans meeting to organize an official protest under the Xeneizes offices. In the Premier League, the last to take the field in pink were Everton and Leicester players, followed in 2018-19 by the Red Devils, who turned into Pink Devils away from home. From Portugal, Benfica and Porto also joined the cause in the 2007-08 and 2014-15 seasons respectively. The most striking pink jersey in history is that of Celtic, which in 2016-17 opens to the pink for the first time in its history.
