Serie A club Lazio have launched their new home, away and third kits that would make supporters of many Premier League clubs drool.

As a Real Madrid supporter, the 2012-13 season was disappointing for various reasons. The team relinquished its title to Barcelona, was knocked out for the third straight time in the Champions League semi-finals, and was torn apart by in-fighting within the dressing room.
