Marcello Lippi's Italy side will wear a special 1930s-style shirt for this summer's Confederations Cup.
The eighth edition of the Confederations Cup will take place in South Africa between June 14 and 18.
Italy will be involved as World Cup holders, along with 2010 hosts South Africa, European champions Spain, Copa America winners Brazil, Asian Cup victors Iraq, Egypt, who won the African Cup of Nations, OFC Nations Cup winners New Zealand and Gold Cup holders the USA.
The Azzurri will face Brazil, the USA and Egypt in Group B and Puma have made a special shirt for the occasion.
The kit will be similar to that worn by Vittorio Pozzo's side - the Coach whose unbeaten record Lippi has broken.
The shirt will be a different shade of blue with diagonal faded stripes in the background and will have a V-neck and a bigger badge.
Meanwhile, Italy's friendly against Brazil at the Emirates Stadium next Tuesday is sold out.
