This is information to make the supporters of AS Saint-Etienne green with envy.
The Italian Football League will force Serie A teams to no longer use green on their shirts from the 2022-2023 season.
An important clarification, this will only concern the away or "third" jerseys.

Phew of relief for Sassuolo fans.
Manuel Locatelli's club should be able to keep their green and black stripes on their home jersey.
The idea of the League remains, all the same, to preserve the historical colors of the clubs engaged in Serie A, but also in the other divisions, if they manage to climb the ranks.
Less contrasts with the lawn
What wouldn't we do for a few more ads?
The ban is linked to the lack of visibility and differentiation between green jerseys and the lawn.
This would prevent the insertion of visual advertisements, in particular on television.
Some examples in Serie A: Napoli, Lazio in Rome, Juventus in Turin or even Atalanta wore green on their away jerseys in previous seasons.
A news that was quickly commented on on social networks.
Sassuolo has cracked a small spade on Twitter: “The winners today are… The green team!
".
The Italian squad received support from Club Leon in Mexico: “Dear Sassuolo, we have found the solution.
We will change the color of the terrain.
The green jersey is sacred.
“A solidarity that will not console Italian designers.
MESSAGGIO DI SOLIDARIETÀ
¡FORZA @SassuoloUS!
