Venezia FC and NOCTA unveil the 25/26 Home Jersey

Venice, July 23, 2025 – Venezia FC and NOCTA unveil the new 25/26 Home Jersey. The first expression, of a broader narrative that will unfold throughout the season, encompasses ‘Home Ground’ a concept chosen to convey Venice’s beauty, architecture, culture and deep rooted passion for fashion and sport.

This year’s campaign exemplifies Venezia FC’s commitment to its fans, the city and most importantly positioning the club at the forefront of sport and contemporary culture. As the first Italian football Club to collaborate with NOCTA as technical sponsor, Venezia FC embraces a distinctive and independent path, where sport, culture, fashion, and music come together to form a bold narrative. NOCTA brings a sense of international appeal, artistic depth, and cultural relevance that transcends the traditional boundaries of football merchandising.

“Renewing our collaboration with NOCTA is a source of great uniqueness,” said Tancredi Vitale, Managing Director of Venezia FC. “This partnership reflects exactly what we want Venezia FC to represent: a Club rooted in tradition, but unafraid to innovate and lead. NOCTA brings global relevance, cultural depth, and a unique creative sensibility to the world of football. Home Ground is not just a campaign, it’s the expression of VFC mission to introduce a new shared language into football, one that draws from and redefines global culture while staying true to the real identity of Venice. Together, we’re not replicating existing models; we’re creating our own, bold, authentic, and forward-looking. Every piece born from this collaboration expresses our values: attention to detail, creative courage, and a deep respect for identity. It’s a wearable manifesto of who we are and where we’re headed, a Club that honours its past while shaping a future that’s ambitious, inclusive, and unmistakably Venetian.”

“The partnership isn’t just about football, it’s about Venice, one of the most historical cities in the world and their passion not only for the club but the city and what it represents,” said Matte Babel, Co-Founder of NOCTA. “What’s really exciting, is that while the team’s identity is deeply rooted in their venetian heritage the organization isn’t afraid to push boundaries. Designer Diego Moscosoni, who led the design team, was able to seamlessly blend sport and fashion. It’s not about slapping a logo on a jersey, it’s about crafting something that carries the unmistakable character of Venice and the raw, global energy of NOCTA”.

Available in short-sleeve, the 25/26 Home Jersey is released for the first time simultaneously in two versions – the Venezia edition and the official Match Jersey featuring the Cynar Spritz logo – reflecting a shared sense of identity and values between the city of Venice, the Club and its Main Sponsor.

The 25/26 Home Jersey, now available at the official Venezia FC stores and online, will make its official on-pitch debut during Venezia FC’s Coppa Italia Frecciarossa fixture against Mantova, scheduled for Saturday, August 16 at 18:00 (CEST). Throughout the season, it will also be worn by the Club’s Primavera and Women’s First Team, underlining a unified identity across all levels.

Home Ground: A Collective Portrait of Venice

Rooted in the concept of Home Ground, the 25/26 campaign explores the idea of belonging – whether by birth, choice, or affinity – and portrays Venice as a living, plural city. Shot on 35mm film by photographer Duncan Loudon, the campaign features a local cast and Venice, through an expanded perspective.

For the first time, the campaign visually embraces both the historic city and its mainland districts of Mestre and Marghera, a powerful symbol of Unione and a more complete vision of the Club’s identity. From the “spiritual home” at Stadio “Pier Luigi Penzo” in Sant’Elena, to cultural landmarks like Gallerie dell’Accademia and Scala Contarini del Bovolo; from residential neighborhoods such as the Saffa complex in Cannaregio and the housing blocks of Giudecca, to the urban fabric and pubs of Mestre and Marghera, this is a true visual union of Venice in all its complexity.

Venice, as a cultural and emotional anchor, becomes a home for many – from renowned contemporary artists like Fabrizio Plessi, painter-poet Solange Smith, rising star of the art world Red Longo, and emerging musical talents like Marrakech Express and Space Idol, along with local creatives, lifelong fans, and young “arancioneroverdi” – all coming together to form a layered, intergenerational collective. The campaign presents Venice not as a postcard, but as a city of ideas, creativity, and global resonance.

Focus on the 25/26 Home Jersey

The 25/26 Home Jersey draws inspiration from the traits of 15th-century cartography and Venice’s long-standing legacy as a center of knowledge, exploration, and cultural exchange. The jersey’s all-black base is elevated by intricate tonal motifs that evoke the era’s visionary worldview, a time when Venice was seen as a gateway to the unknown, a city of ideas, and a global point of reference.

Crafted from the same high-performance fabric worn by the athletes, the shirt features breathable mesh side panels and refined detailing such as the TPU Venezia FC crest and NOCTA logo, and the iconic St. Mark’s Basilica star on the back of the neck. Bold orange and green panels run from shoulder to hem, a vivid nod to the Club’s traditional colors, adding character and identity to the silhouette. A standout innovation for the 2025/26 season is the use of silver as a core visual accent: a refined, luminous element that brings depth and contemporary elegance to the jersey. The Home Jersey was designed by Diego Moscosoni, assisted by Ariel Mojetta.

Beyond the Kit: Outerwear & Innovation

Beyond the jersey, the 25/26 season introduces a broader vision of the Club’s aesthetic and identity through collateral collections. For the first time, Venezia FC and NOCTA expand their collaboration to include a performance-driven Training collection and a more lifestyle-oriented Travel line, both set to release in the coming weeks. These collections feature bold reinterpretations of color, lightweight fabrics, and high-performance construction, combining comfort, technicality, and visual impact. Anthem jackets, travel outerwear, tracksuits, and special projects will be progressively unveiled, becoming increasingly central to the Club’s storytelling. More than just apparel, these pieces embody individuality, innovation, and personality, extending the visual language of the partnership and resonating beyond the pitch.

Rooted in NOCTA’s DNA – a label inspired by the word nox (Latin for “night”) – the collaboration channels a world of boundless creativity, building a distinct identity and community. In many ways, it mirrors Venice itself: layered, imaginative, and visionary.
