AS Roma special patch on their left sleeve which will feature the words ‘Black Lives Matter’ along with ‘ASSIEME’ – meaning Together, the name of the campaign the club launched to cover all of the Roma Cares activities during the Covid-19 crisis.
The first time the Giallorossi players will wear the Black Lives Matter patch will be at Stadio Olimpico against Sampdoria and the last of which will be in Turin against Juventus. The team will wear the patch for a total of 12 Serie A games.
The patch is designed to show support to the Black Lives Matter movement, which has once again been thrust into the global spotlight by the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in Minneapolis, America. The killing sparked protests all over the world, with hundreds of thousands of people marching against racism.
