The essence of Palermo as a club is in the colours they wear and have worn for over a century - pink and black.
Pink to represent the joy Sicilians believe football should be played with. Those who live on the island at the toe of Italy’s boot know how to enjoy themselves. Sicily’s outdoor piazzas and beach clubs are testament to that.
Black, however, symbolises the darkness experienced by Palermo at various points of their long history as a club and the outlook was never darker than it was in 2019.
Financial ruin and banishment from the Italian league system threatened the club’s very existence. Seven years on, Palermo are pushing for promotion to Serie A as part of City Football Group.
Italy’s forgotten club are back in the public consciousness. After years of darkness, Palermo are pink with joy again.
