Juventus originally played their matches in pink shirts, but due to the original shirts fading, the club wanted to replace them in December 1901. The Englishman John Savage, who was the club's first-ever foreign player, stepped in and arranged for new shirts from his hometown of Nottingham. However, these shirts were black and white striped, just like John Savage's favorite team, Notts County. Juventus has played in them ever since.
