This is the new, 2021 Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio Christmas shirt.
Featuring the Italian Serie A side’s famous blue and black stripes, the special release also carries a skyline print at the hem.
Tragically, the print actually seems to depict an approximation of the skyline of Turin rather than Atalanta’s home city of Bergamo - albeit the mirror image - something which the club and supplier Joma have denied after it was reported by various Italian media outlets.

Otherwise, the shirt is reasonably standard La Dea fare, with thinner stripes than the standard Home version but otherwise sharing much of the stylings and embellishment - including the full-colour crest centrally placed.
Indeed, this latest installment in Atalanta’s festive series was expected to be worn with the black Home shorts and socks in the clash with Roma tomorrow - as stated in the sleeve detailing - with the match shirts auctioned for charity afterwards, but that may now be in doubt due to the controversy.
