Historic Diadora football shirts

One of the longest-running associations in the world of football is that between Diadora and Baggio. The company dedicated boots to him throughout his career, in addition to wearing Diadora-branded uniforms. Another partnership that lasted more than 20 years was with the AIA, the Italian Referees Association. In fact, it was Diadora that changed the color of the referees' uniforms, from the original gray to the black-and-blue variations, and today's fluorescent shades of fuchsia and yellow.
