AC Milan has a unique tradition when it comes to their kits. Rather than release next season's design in the summer off-season, the shirts for the next season are debuted on the field with several games left in the current campaign.
The new shirt—a sharp-looking return to the classic red-and-black stripes with minimal ornamentation—seems to have given the entire club a boost, as they looked better in Saturday's matchup against second-placed Roma than they have in a long time.
It didn't look that way early. The Rossoneri nearly got off to the same inauspicious start they did last week against Napoli.
