Season Summary
The 1990–91 campaign was a transitional one for Juventus. Under Luigi Maifredi, the club aimed to adopt a more attacking philosophy but ultimately fell short, finishing 7th in Serie A. Roberto Baggio and Salvatore Schillaci led the attack, while David Platt and Rui Barros provided midfield creativity. The shirt remains iconic for its clean look and the association with the early years of Baggio’s Juventus tenure.
Final Notes
When checking authenticity, inspect the texture of the upim sponsor (should be felt), the shade and stitching of the Kappa logo, and the placement of the two gold stars box. The cotton material is thin, soft and breathable, and the shirt features no badge—a common feature of classic Juve home kits.
