Roma wear special jersey for derby clash with Lazio

The Giallorossi are wearing a unique shirt for their Serie A encounter, which they say emphasises the club's relationship with the city

Roma have revealed a special jersey for their derby game against city rivals Lazio on Sunday.

The Giallorossi will sport a shirt with 'SPQR' on the front and, according to the club's official website, "its presence on Sunday's shirt further underlines the club's relationship with the city."

SPQR or Senatus Populusque Romanus, which translates roughly as 'The Senate and People of Rome' is the city's historic motto.

It is the final Rome derby of the 2016-17 Serie A season and Luciano Spalletti will hope that the new jersey will see them repeat their December victory over their rivals as they look to secure second place.
