Everything about Juventus history!

The first thing we need to know about Juventus history is the Juventus foundation history.

Juventus Foundation History

The

Juventus foundation history

has an interesting story.

Juventus was born on November 1, 1897 in Turin, Italy to a young group dreaming of starting a football team. None of these young people thought that the club they formed in a friendly way would one day become one of the most important football clubs of all time.

After forming a young team and choosing the location of the team, considering the youth of the club and the young players who played in this team with a lot of love and passion, the group decided to choose the name of Juventus Sports Club. The word Juventus has Latin roots and means young.

Born on June 10, 1915, Hurra Juventus Magazine is the club's most popular monthly magazine now. It was in 1919-20 season that the president of the Juventus composed Juventus Anthem. But the new official anthem of Juventus is Juve (storia di un grande amore), written by Alessandra Torre and Claudio Guidetti, composed in 2007.

In 1930s Juventus emerged as one of the great powers of Italian football. From 1930 to 1935, Juventus won five consecutive championships, a record that was broken by Juventus in the second decade of the 21st century.

In February 1934, Juventus unveiled a new stadium called the Comunale (now the Olympics), which later immortalized the spectacular memories of legends such as Boniperti, Roberto Bettega and Michel Platini.

Between the 1930s and the 21st century, the club went through many ups and downs. The peak periods of this club were associated with the shining of the unrepeatable legends of football in Italy and Europe, and in addition to these glorious periods, there were periods of decline and diminishing of the brilliance of this legendary club. However, before 2004, Juventus had never been relegated from Serie A.

Calciopoli scandal

It was in the summer of 2004 that Fabio Capello joined Juventus after the departure of Marcello Lippi. Fabio Capello, who previously coached AS Roma, one of Juventus' old rivals, failed to gain popularity among the club's fans, despite attracting strong players and winning several trophies.

At the end of the 2005–06 season, as Juventus won the title, there were reports of Juventus officials colluding with the referees. It was at this time that Gianluca Pessotto fell from the club's building and the margins around Juventus widened.

With the official announcement of the Calciopoli scandal and the collusion of Juventus officials with the refereeing committee and some referees, as well as the publication of Luciano Moggi's telephone conversations with some officials and referees, the Italian sports courts revoked Juventus' last two

titles from the old lady and the club was exiled to

.

Following the ruling, players including Fabio Cannavaro, Gianluca Zambrotta, Patrick Vieira, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Lilian Thuram left Juventus.

Juventus started the Serie B season with a score of -9 in the 2006-07 season, and at the end of the season, after a close match with Napoli and Genoa, stood on the first platform of the competition and won the Serie B title in the 2006-2007 season.

Juventus Nicknames History

Juventus has acquired many nicknames during its history, and la Vecchia Signora (the Old Lady) is the most famous one. The "old" part of the nickname is a pun on Juventus which means "youth" in Latin, and refers to the age of the Juventus star players towards the middle of the 1930s, and the "lady" part of the nickname is how fans of the club affectionately referred to it before the 1930s.

The

Juventus logo history

dates back to the 1920s, and since then, the official Juventus logo has changed many times. The zebra standing two-legged logo is one of the oldest football logos in the world, designed in 1928 for Juventus.

The common denominator in all of the club's logos over the past century is the use of black and white stripes as the main basis of the logo design.

The Juventus logo was changed in 2004 to a black oval shield of the type used by Italian churches. The shield was divided into 5 parts by black and white stripes. In the upper part, the symbol of the city of Turin, which is a bull, is used, and a golden crown was placed on top of it. Also, two golden stars were placed at the top of the shield, symbolized Juventus' 20 Serie A titles.

On January 16, 2017, the new Juventus logo was unveiled. The new logo is a symbol of Juventus-style life and has a minimalist design.

Juventus Kit History

When Juventus was first founded in 1897, the club's shirts were light pink with a black tie. But the problem with these clothes was that their color faded due to constant washing.

In 1903 the club sought a replacement for the pink shirt, and thus the black and white striped shirt became the original Juventus shirt.

In Italian football, any team that wins 10 Serie A titles has the right to have a gold star engraved on their official shirt. In the 2011-12 season, Juventus unofficially won their 30th Serie A title, but due to the Calciopoli scandal and the withdrawal of two titles from the team, it was in the 2013–14 season that Juventus won its 30th title of the Serie A league.

Finally, in the 2014-2015 season, Juventus executives agreed that the third star would be on the club shirt that Adidas designed for them.
