The photo relayed on Sunday on social networks made OGC Nice supporters smile or make them proud. She especially questioned the lovers of the Aiglons. Why did the Italian team AS Velasca play in the blue Gym jersey last weekend? The reason is both sporting and artistic.
On the occasion of its last championship match in the 9th Italian division, AS Velasca, which in recent years has multiplied initiatives to bring football and art together, to the point of being considered by FIFA as the most artistic club in the worldwore the Gym’s third jersey.
This IKB blue jersey (International Klein Blue) which makes homage to the Nice painter Yves Kleinborn April 28, 1928 in an apartment on rue Verdi in Nice.

Colors that unite Nice and Milan
Ninety-four years later, on his birthday, AS Velasca, which also shares the same equipment supplier as the Gym, therefore paid tribute to the artist with this Klein blue jersey. A jersey which also recalls this historic link between Milan and Nice. Behind Inter and AC Milan, AS Velasca is the third Milanese club and OGC Nice recalls in a press release this Tuesday that its current colors, red and black, are also those of AC Milan while its original colors when it was created 120 years ago were black and blue, those of Inter.
This Sunday, two teams won several hundred kilometers from each other. The Aiglons in white jerseys in Strasbourg, AS Velasca in blue against Nuova Amatese, to end the season of this club in a beautiful way which will perhaps attract a few curious looks in Nice from now on.
