At the start of the season, newly promoted Venezia FC were still looking for a technical sponsor. I worked on their pre-season kits, produced in the gap before the club signed with Nocta, the Nike and Drake label.

With no sponsor mark to design around, the kits had to hold on proportion alone. Black, white and orange for the goalkeeper, each carrying the club's own tricolour on the sleeve trim as the only colour on the garment, with every piece of personalisation in gold. The fabric came from an Italian mill, a choice that kept the supply chain close and easier to control on colour and delivery. The jersey body was piece-dyed and the sleeve trim sublimated, two different techniques that had to read as a single, matching black.

They were the kits that carried the Nocta mark for the first time, in the Coppa Italia match against Brescia. Shortly after that match the club moved to Nike production for competitive games and kept ours for training.
