Perugia Historical Jerseys

AC Perugia Calcio Perugia has a long and winding history. It was first founded on July 14, 1890, as Società Ginnastica Braccio Fortebraccio, although its official debut came in 1907. It came close to qualifying for Serie A in the 1930s, but due to precarious financial conditions, the club remained inactive in the 1939/40 season. Instead, the new GUF Perugia team took to the field in the Umbrian First Division, which, although under a different name, wore the Griffins' jerseys and fielded several of their players. In the 1950s, it played in Serie C, and between the 1960s and 1970s, it stabilized in Serie B. Perugia's real turning point came in the 1974/75 football season, with the presidency in the hands of Apulian Franco D'Attoma and a new technical and managerial staff with Ilario Castagner they managed to obtain their first promotion to Serie A. In the 78/79 championship Perugia Calcio was called "the Perugia of miracles" by journalists, also achieving a rather impressive record for a "provincial" team, becoming the first team to finish the Serie A without losing a match, also remaining in the fight until the last days for the conquest of the championship. Perugia historic shirts They have always been remembered in red with white details and the coat of arms, although with some small variations, is a golden Griffin on a red background shield.
