Proving that it’s not just Spanish lower league teams that are adept at pulling curious kits out of the bag, Italian second tier side Avellino have gone and launched a weird new jersey of their very own.

The Serie B side held a grand event to formally announce their 2016/17 first-team squad this week, unveiling their new shirt on stage in the process.

For reasons unbeknownst, it soon became apparent that Avellino will be playing with a large cartoon dragon etched across their chests this season.

The shirt is unveiled at the 31:45 mark…

Incredibly strange choice, especially for a team nicknamed ‘The Wolves’.

If anybody has any further info (is it a local company/charity logo?), then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

    It is the logo of the official sponsor. And it looks great :)

    The Dragon is our main sponsor, anyway it will be definitely smaller as soon as the league starts. We’re the wolves after all, no way a Dragon is going to take over.

    It is the logo of the sponsor MetaEdil and fortunately it won’t be that big on the Official match wear… C’mon WOLVES (…not dragons)
