On 20th July 2025, Italian daily sports newspaper Tuttosport published an article headlined: “La Juve del Cheshire, abbiamo lo stesso spirito”… which translates to “The Cheshire Juve, we share the same spirit”…

Founded in 1945, Tuttosport is Italy’s third-largest national sports daily and a prominent voice in European football media.

The article highlights Barnton AFC’s launch of their new 2025/26 home and away kits. The club has affectionately earned the nickname “The Cheshire Juve” thanks to its strong visual connection to Juventus.

The home kit is inspired by Juve’s iconic 2016/17 design, featuring a central Italian badge, while the away kit pays tribute to the 1995/96 Champions League winning strip, with bold blue and yellow colours.

Barnton is clear: this is not imitation but a celebration of shared values, passion, pride, and identity.

They’re not just wearing black and white, they’re embracing the spirit behind it.

The launch has resonated deeply online, with Juventus fans showing their love, support and admiration for “Cheshire’s Juve".
