DESCRIPTION:

The 2008-09 season signalled the light that was beginning to emerge out of the end of a tumultuous tunnel for Juventus following the ‘Calciopoli’ scandal, as the club returned to UEFA Champions League for the first time since the 2005-06 season. In league with that 05-06 campaign; Nike reintroduced yellow accents to the shirt, which took the place of the red accents from the last season. In another change from the 2007-08 shirt, the stripes alternated, with the black stripe coming down the centre, with the two white stripes coming either side. The yellow accents are particularly charming as they compliment the New Holland Fiat Group sponsor, Nike swoosh, and 2 stars above the club crest brilliantly. While the club would be eliminated from the Champions League at the round of 16; Juventus would finish 2^nd in Serie A, reach the Coppa Italia semi-final and celebrated back to back wins over Real Madrid in the Champions League group stages!
