🚨 Official: Roma unveil new crest, historic symbol returns 🟡🔴
Roma returns to the old crest: these words emerge from the end-of-season statement released today by the club's ownership, Dan and Ryan Friedkin. The controversy over Roma's crest has been ongoing: since May 2013, when the Pallotta ownership decided to modify the logo by removing the ASR trigram and replacing it with the word ROMA 1927, fans have repeatedly asked for a return to the old crest. The Friedkins have moved to "put order" in the club's history, recovering old crests and using the colors of the teams that merged in 1927 to create AS Roma, namely Fortitudo, Alba, and Roman. Advertisement This is why next year's third Roma jersey will be white and green, like Alba's, with the ASR trigram on the chest. Now the Friedkins have also announced the return of the old crest, with the shield featuring the she-wolf and the ASR trigram: "We are proud to announce the progressive reappropriation of the historic ASR crest, a symbol that embodies the soul of this Club. This decision, made with deep respect for our tradition and in response to the deepest desires of our fans, is a tribute to Roma's identity. It reflects our belief that a club's symbols matter, and that honoring our roots is essential to building our future." This decision is part of a rebranding effort that will culminate in the celebration of the team's centenary in 1927. Advertisement This is why the Friedkins have decided to establish order regarding the club's founding date: historically, both June 7, 1927, the date when the merger agreement was signed in the office of Fortitudo president Italo Foschi, and July 22, 1927, when the first meeting of the new club was held and the managerial roles were assigned, are celebrated. The Friedkins explained the decision to celebrate the latter as the club's founding date: "We are also excited to celebrate the new season with you all on July 22, a date deeply rooted in the hearts of generations of Roma fans. As we approach the Centenary, we want to reaffirm our commitment to honoring the history, traditions, and identity of Roma. The respect we owe to our founding fathers is equal to the respect we owe to the sentiment of our fans. Therefore, fully aware of the historical value and significance of June 7, 1927, as the founding of AS Roma, we have decided that July 22 will be our special day of celebration: an annual milestone and an anniversary for fans and the Club, united under the sign of pride and affection for the extraordinary historical heritage of AS Roma." The message then touches on the current state of the club, thanking Claudio Ranieri and confirming his role as senior advisor, presenting the new coach Gian Piero Gasperini, described as "A coach with great experience, personality, and vision", highlighting his "football philosophy, deep work culture, and ability to enhance talent".

The Giallorossi president could in fact fly to England to follow Everton's final game of the season live at Goodison Park.

Friedkin file letter of protest to UEFA
The letter of protest promised by AS Roma owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin was sent to UEFA after the disputed refereeing in the Porto match. As reported by Il Romanista, the letter's content was marked more by diplomacy than by indignation, an approach deemed necessary towards the European football body and the president of the Referees Commission, Roberto Rosetti. Despite the club's initiative, the sanctions remain in place: a 20,000 euro fine for Claudio Ranieri, penalties for the team and the partial closure of the Curva Nord after the incidents against Eintracht. Ranieri, with his class and experience, chose not to have his players salute the referee, a strong gesture in response to decisions deemed penalizing. The echo of Budapest is still alive in the fans, an injustice never forgotten. The letter sent must not remain an isolated act, but mark a change: greater attention and determination in making yourself respected.
