Venice, October 16 2025 – Venezia FC and NOCTA push the Home Ground story forward with the release of the Anthem Jackets and the Pre-Match Jersey II 25/26, expanding a narrative that bridges football, culture, and Venetian DNA.

The two new Anthem Jackets, worn by players in the moments leading up to kick-off, are more than functional apparel. They’re symbolic garments that embody ritual and lock in identity, designed to stand as matchday staples and streetwear essentials.

Anthem Jacket I features a black base with bold orange and green side panels running across the shoulders and inside the hood, echoing the detailing of the 25/26 Home Jersey. Silver Venezia Football Club hits the back as a statement of pride, while a NOCTA mark signs the lower back. Built light but tough, it balances performance fit with everyday flex.

Anthem Jacket II features a deep burgundy base with gold detailing and vibrant orange shoulder tapes. On the back, the Winged Lion of Saint Mark is reimagined as a star constellation: Venice’s legacy, remixed into future design. Details count: high-resistance TPU crest on the chest, Venezia FC lettering on the collar, and NOCTA branding on the sleeve.

The new Pre-Match Jersey draws straight from Venice: surfaces shaped by time, water, and salt. The pattern recalls weathered wood, faded paint, rust tones, layered like the façades of the lagoon. A living texture, marked by centuries and the elements. Black sleeves and ivory details frame this raw design, with the Club crest and NOCTA logo making a sharp statement. On the back, 1907 and 87 pay tribute to the Club’s foundation and the historic merger that redefined its identity. More than a jersey, it transforms the raw beauty of Venice’s materials into a symbol of resilience and belonging.

The Pre-Match Jersey II makes its official debut on Sunday, October 19, in the match against Empoli.

“With this new Home Ground chapter we keep rewriting football’s style code, through design, identity, and belonging,” said Tancredi Vitale, Managing Director of Venezia FC. “The Anthem Jackets and Pre-Match Jersey II turn pre-match from a technical moment into a ritual, uniting the team, city, and supporters, elevating Venice as a contemporary icon with a global voice.”
