Things to Know:

This is the first time ever that official team supplier’s brand was not always visible on team’s shirt.  In fact the official supplier of the season was Lotto. But Lotto’s brand and logos were only visible on friendly games shirts. During the Serie A games and Champions League the usual supplier’s logos on chest and on sleeves were not the Lotto’s ones but CiaoWeb  logos. CiaoWeb was an Italian web company owned by Fiat and Ifil. So basically the team’s shirts for Serie A and Champions League had a double regular sponsors on the shirt.
