Some good news from lockdown Italy: a six-year-old boy, Luigi D’Agostino, has designed the football shirt to be worn by Italian second division team Pescara next season.
His was the winning design in a club competition, launched to relieve the tedium for Italian children stuck indoors since 9 March. Hundreds of other children took part in what became a social media hit. The motto was “give a kick to Covid-19”.
The Pescara team, based in an Adriatic beach resort, appropriately has a dolphin as its emblem.
