New York Times praises Roma's away kit as elegant and instantly recognisable

AS Roma have released ticket sale arrangements for supporters travelling to Como for the Serie A sixth-round fixture on Sunday 11 October 2026 at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, with kickoff at 12:30. Sales for the away section open on Friday 2 October at 15:00 and close at 19:00 on Saturday 10 October. Entry to the away section requires a valid AS Roma Card (Fidelity Card); tickets cannot be purchased at the stadium on match day. Roma have stressed that fans must secure their ticket before the deadline and advised supporters to travel to Como only once in possession of a valid ticket. The club has followed guidance from local and public safety authorities in setting these requirements. No ticket sales will take place at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on the day of the match, making advance purchase essential for those planning to attend. Ticket sales operate exclusively through Como's official website and remain open from Friday 2 October at 15:00 until 19:00 on Saturday 10 October. The AS Roma Card (Fidelity Card) in valid status is mandatory for entry to the away section. Roma have recommended that supporters depart for Como only after securing their regular match ticket, as entry to the stadium will be granted solely to those with a ticket in hand.

Roma supporters from the Lazio region will be able to attend the away fixture at Como on Sunday, 11 October, after a lengthy period of restrictions. Ticket sales for the visiting section at Stadio Sinigaglia open today at 15:00, priced at €25 per ticket with no residency restrictions. Sales close on 10 October at 19:00 or when allocation is exhausted. The fixture marks an end to a series of travel bans that had sparked controversy among the fanbase. With the away end now open to all supporters, Roma can expect a full travelling contingent for the match in northern Italy.

The New York Times has ranked AS Roma's away jersey as the best kit among major European clubs, awarding it a perfect score in a review that assessed kits from Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Real Madrid among others. Adidas designed the strip to balance distinctive style with immediate Roma identity. The newspaper praised the elegance and restraint of the design, noting that it stands out without clashing. "It's no small feat to devise a design that is distinctive and/or original for a team's away kit, while simultaneously being immediately recognisable as belonging to that team," the Times wrote. The review highlighted every element: "Adidas has created something elegant and sober, but that distinguishes itself as well, and that at the same time seems to immediately belong to Roma. Every detail is superb, from the double chest stripe to the collar, down to the slightly ivory background that ensures the bright secondary colours do not clash too much. Give them the Scudetto right now."
