Spanish kit sponsor experts @marcadegol have created a nice comprehensive overview of all the 22 different Nike Roma jerseys.
After announcing to prematurely cancel their deal with Nike around a week ago, there have been tons of new revelations ever since as the whole kit aficionado world is looking towards Rome. Today, we want to take a look at the whole AS Roma x Nike kit history as the US giant supplied I Giallorossi for 7 seasons.
During these seasons from 2014-15 to 2020-21, Nike created a lot of stunning AS Roma jerseys, both pushing boundaries with their globally-themed third kits as well as creating classy efforts in the club's iconic colours for home and away choices.

Nike x AS Roma 2014-15
For their debut season, Nike went with a no-nonsense approach to craft three classy looks: a maroon home with a classic polo collar as well as yellow accents, a white away with a yellow / maroon sash running from top left to bottom right & a stealth black third shirt with orange applications.

Nike x AS Roma 2015-16
With the 2015-16 season, Nike went out of their way to create something memorable: Roma's 2015-16 home shirt combines two tones of red, while the away comes with a tone-on-tone map of Rome, the third is based on Nike's global third kit theme for that season in an unusual colour combination.
Nike x AS Roma 2016-17
Staying true to their commitment, Nike again created a classy home jersey, however the general appearance started to become a tad more streamlined as Nike entered their possibly worst period of kit designs by unveiling the infamous Vapor kits with AeroSwift technology, which up until today serve as inspiration for other brands.
The AS Roma 2016-17 away football kit is cream-colored, while the third is again based on Nike's global third kit template for their 'Elite' ranks and features a colour gradient from red at the top to orange at the bottom, in a similar quest as the home shirt from that season.
The 2016-2017 season was also Nike's only to release a special kit for AS Roma with the AS Roma 2016-17 derby kit, which was exclusively worn during the Rome Derby in Fall 2016. This special kit combined a maroon base with classy golden accents.
Nike x AS Roma 2017-18
Nike's AS Roma 2017-2018 home shirt is red with orange accents, the away is white with a graphic print on the front, while Roma's 2017-18 third jersey introduces a stealth dark brown look with a subtle camouflage print.
Nike x AS Roma 2018-19
With the 2018-2019 season around the corner, Nike slightly started reverting back to their old path by paying attention to heritage and looks closely: AS Roma's 18-19 home kit is 'Team Red' with orange accents and a distinct graphic print on front and back, the away is light grey with black accents, while the third comes with a stunning implementation of a city map on a bright yellow / orange base.
Nike x AS Roma 2019-20
In the most recent season, Nike's creativity began to flourish again for their top teams: AS Roma's 2019-2020 home shirt is maroon with a yellow lightning print detail at collar and sleeve cuffs.
The away features the lightning as a bold sash running all the way from the top left to the bottom right in different shades of red, yellow and orange on a mainly white base. The AS Roma 19-20 third jersey comes with a stunning navy retro-infused look featuring a subtle application of old Roma badges on the front.
Nike x AS Roma 2020-21
For the season ahead, and Nike's last for now, the Swoosh has again prepared outstanding efforts paying homage to the club's rich heritage: the AS Roma 2020-2021 home kit is reminiscent of Roma's iconic 'ghiacciolo' design, while the away picks up on the off-white main color again to create a classy look with the old Lupetto badge. Nike's Roma 20-21 third jersey combines a black base with orange logos and a striking Safari print graphic on the sides, directly inspired by the Safari Air Max.
