The design goes back to the goalkeeper kit Crotone wore in 1999/2000, the season the club won its Serie C1 group and went up to Serie B. Black body, yellow hoops, the hoops given a brush texture that ties them to that season's training and third kits.

Then superstition intervened. The owner decided black would bring bad luck and asked for blue instead, and a second colourway followed with neon yellow as the ground and the club's red and blue making the hoops. Both were worn in Serie A.

The black version never went beyond samples and, because it was the original design, it is the only colourway that appears in FIFA 17.
