Lazio Jersey 2019-20
The 2019-20 season saw Lazio continue their partnership with Macron, producing a collection of shirts that combined the club's traditional colours with modern technical details. The season was also particularly significant from a historical perspective, as Lazio celebrated their 120th anniversary with a commemorative shirt inspired by one of the most successful periods in the club's history.
The home shirt retained Lazio's traditional celeste and white colours. Its most distinctive feature was a series of horizontal embossed stripes across the front, giving the otherwise classic design a subtle texture. The sleeves remained plain, allowing the striped effect on the body of the shirt to stand out.
The shirt featured an elegant knitted stand-up collar, while knitted inserts were also incorporated into the cuffs and lower hem. Numerous mesh and micromesh panels were included in the design to improve breathability and keep the players cool during matches. The shirt had a slim fit and was produced using Macron's Softlock fabric.
On the back of the collar, the name of the club was subtly embossed into the material, providing a discreet detail that reinforced the shirt's identity.

The away shirt adopted a much cleaner and more understated appearance. Produced in white poly-stretch fabric, it featured two vertical stripes on the front, one celeste and one navy blue. The Lazio crest was positioned prominently over these stripes, creating a strong visual contrast with the predominantly white design.
Knitted details appeared around the V-neck, cuffs and lower hem, while mesh inserts around the shoulders and sides provided additional ventilation. As with the home shirt, the back of the collar carried an embossed SS Lazio inscription.
One notable difference concerned the placement of the Coppa Italia badge. Unlike the home and third shirts, the away shirt displayed the Coppa Italia badge in the centre of the jersey, aligned with the Macron and Lazio logos.
The third shirt offered the most striking alternative to the traditional home design. Navy blue formed the dominant colour, giving the jersey a more imposing and contemporary appearance. Horizontal embossed stripes once again featured across the front, creating continuity with the home shirt while giving the third kit its own identity.
Celeste details provided contrast against the navy base, while knitted material was used for the stand-up collar, cuffs and lower hem. Mesh inserts were again incorporated to improve ventilation and comfort.

The goalkeeper's away shirt was considerably more adventurous. The jersey was produced in a bright fluorescent green and featured a distinctive camouflage-style design created using a sublimated graphic. Laser-cut details were incorporated along the sides, while the club name appeared on the back of the collar using transfer technology.
The goalkeeper's shirt also featured a V-split collar and a slim fit.

The most historically significant shirt of the season, however, was undoubtedly the special 120th Anniversary Celebration Shirt.
To mark Lazio's 120th anniversary, the club and Macron unveiled a commemorative jersey inspired by one of the most successful periods in the club's history. The goalkeeper version was black with a grey horizontal stripe.
The commemorative shirt drew inspiration from the jerseys worn during the 1998/99 and 1999/00 seasons, before the introduction of the Centenary shirt in January 2000.
Lazio also wore a special shirt for the Super Coppa with the Lazio Region as sponsor.
