Why Does Juventus Wear Notts County's Colours?

Hidden Club Stories explores the untold history of football clubs around the world. Football as we know it today began long before the Premier League, before billion-euro transfers and global television audiences. In 1862, a group of men in Nottingham formed a football club at a time when the sport itself barely had rules. That club was Notts County. More than 160 years later, it still exists, making it the oldest professional football club in the world. From helping shape the early rules of the game, to inspiring Juventus’ iconic black-and-white shirts, to surviving relegation into non-league football, Notts County has lived through every era of the sport. In this episode of Hidden Club Stories, we explore the incredible history of the club that has been present since the very beginning of football. Because long before football became a global industry… there was Notts County. Welcome to Hidden Club Stories, where every club carries a story.
