With only a few weeks to go until the start of the Serie A season, AS Roma are in chaos after someone noticed that a design that the club are using within their set of shirt numbers had been left with a watermark.
It means that all of the shirts with numbers are likely to be recalled, and all shirt numbers sent to the club already will need to be changed.

It’s believed that neither Roma, nor kit manufacturer, Adidas were at fault for the error.
An ancient map of Rome has been printed on each number, but as it appears that this stock design was taken from the internet, whoever did so forgot to get the watermark removed and no one spotted it until it was too late.
Roma and Adidas are reportedly working to fix their new 2023-24 season jerseys after realising they had included a copyright watermark on the design https://t.co/IHFFbtCINV #ASRoma #Adidas #SerieA #SerieATIM #Calcio @Footy_Headlines

La #Roma è già al lavoro per rimuovere il watermark di Alamy sui numeri delle nuove magliette. L’errore non è stato né del club né di Adidas, ma di un fornitore terzo che ha utilizzato la mappa di Falda utilizzando una foto del database dell’archivio fotografico.@tempoweb pic.twitter.com/8B0ndyDUK7
