Venezia FC and Drake’s NOCTA continue their “Home Ground” project with a goalkeeper capsule that channels the unapologetic color and attitude of ’90s football. The club unveiled a gold Home kit and a vivid fuchsia Away kit, each designed to push the keeper’s role from last line of defense to visual anchor. The collection launches August 13 via Venezia FC’s webstore and at the club’s Venice retail locations, with an on-pitch debut set for August 16 in the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa match against Mantova.
Fronting the campaign is Venetian multimedia artist Fabrizio Plessi, whose decades of work with light and moving image ties neatly to the collaboration’s sport-meets-culture angle.
The 25/26 Goalkeeper Home Jersey returns in a deep gold tone. NOCTA’s signature star pattern, keyed to Venice’s night sky, runs across the body, creating a crisp field that reads clean from distance and detailed up close. Black trim and structured paneling keep the silhouette sharp while leaving space for crest and sponsor marks to sit without visual clutter.
The Away Jersey flips the mood with a saturated fuchsia base. Spray-textured graphics and abstract lion motifs reference archive keeper kits while pointing to Venice’s heraldic icon. The result feels era-specific without cosplay: bold color, graphic movement, and enough negative space to keep the shirt wearable beyond match day.
Designers Diego Moscosoni and Ariel Mojetta led the creative, balancing modern fabrication with references that supporters will recognize from classic keeper strips. Both jerseys prioritize function, breathable fabrics, ergonomic seaming, and a keeper-friendly neckline, so the statement graphics don’t come at the expense of performance.
With Plessi at the center and a match debut locked for August 16, the drop offers a clear, Venice-first lens on football style: art in the frame, archives in the DNA, and a goalkeeper kit that owns the spotlight. The capsule goes on sale August 13 online and in the club’s 408-branded Venice stores, expect fast movement on both colorways once they hit the grid and the pitch.
