Drake’s NOCTA & Venezia FC Announce Renewed Partnership and Fresh Kit Design

Approaching one year on from the announcement that NOCTA had inked a deal to serve as technical sponsor for Valencia FC, the de facto drippiest team in Serie B have renewed their partnership with the Drake x Nike-founded brand, announced today alongside a new kit design and accompanying lifestyle collection.

Building on the cultural resonance of their initial effort, NOCTA and Venezia FC are continuing their partnership for the foreseeable future, moulding what the team describes as a broader narrative dubbed “Home Ground”: a conceptual campaign that explores the innate beauty of the famed Sinking City, paying respect to its culture through a series of “expressions” (or product drops) that will unfold as the season progresses.

“Renewing our collaboration with NOCTA is a source of great uniqueness,” said Tancredi Vitale, Managing Director of Venezia FC in a press release.

“NOCTA brings global relevance, cultural depth, and a unique creative sensibility to the world of football. Home Ground is not just a campaign, it’s the expression of VFC’s mission to introduce a new shared language into football, one that draws from and redefines global culture while staying true to the real identity of Venice.”

The first taste of “Home Ground” comes with the fitting reveal of Venezia’s “Home Kit,” designed by former Supreme employee Diego Moscosoni, who uses a base comprised of a cartography-inspired pattern that evokes Venice’s historical legacy as a global hub of “knowledge, exploration, and cultural exchange.”

The traditionally steeped backdrop is energized by the inclusion of “Leoni Alati’s” original team colours of green and orange, updated in fresh vivid shades, alongside flashes of silver that imbue the overall design with a touch of Italian class and depth.

Two versions are available for purchase: one is the same as the shirt worn on-pitch by the players, featuring Venezia’s main sponsor Cynar Spritz, whereas the other replaces the logo with patriotic branding, creating the “Venezia edition.” Each version sports NOCTA’s shooting stars and the Venezia badge on either side of the chest, finished with St. Mark’s Basilica star at the neck rear, paying respect to the city’s landmark cathedral.

In addition to the jersey, Venezia FC and NOCTA will expand their partnership to offer separate collections built from performance-driven training gear and a “lifestyle-oriented” travel line that are set to release in the coming weeks.

According to Venezia FC, the currently unseen collections will “extend the visual language of the partnership (and its) resonance beyond the pitch”, spanning “anthem jackets, travel outerwear, tracksuits, and special projects”.

The 2025/2026 NOCTA x Venezia FC Home Kit is available now via the official Venezia store.
