Italy's Venezia FC failed to remain in the country's top-flight football league, but the now-Serie B team is poised to return to Serie A next season. The Sant'Elena-based club will wear new kits by Drake's NOCTA during the 2025-26 campaign.
Over the last handful of years, the "football club on the water" has won over casuals of the sport thanks to its retro-inspired jerseys. In August 2024, Aubrey Graham's lifestyle and performance label signed on as the Italian side's "official technical partner," further diversifying the artist's business portfolio. Although NOCTA launched as a Nike, Inc.-backed imprint, it's important to note that the Swoosh is absent from the partnership.
Venezia FC's 25/26 jerseys deliver a mix of modern performance and heritage-informed aesthetics. The club's latest Home shirt features a black base that sees graphics inspired by "the visionary spirit of 15th century cartography," as mentioned in the jersey's official Instagram announcement. Silver typography—including NOCTA North Star logos—deliver elegant contrast across the front of the shirt, while orange-and-green flair appears on the shoulders, cuff trims, sides of the body, bottom hem, and star emblem on the back of the neck.
By contrast, the 25/26 Away Jersey opts for a retro look rooted in the spirit of the 1990s. A polo-style collar injects an elevated air into the shirt, which arguably looks best in its Long Sleeve edition. A gradient maroon takes over the sleeves, while Venezia Football Club messaging is woven into the shirt's body. A multi-colored V crest lands on the chest's left side, while a simple Nocta wordmark appears on the right side. Both styles are available with Cynar Spritz branding on the front.
