What happened to Galex? The first experiment of technical self-production that has dressed the great Perugia Calcio

1995. While in Serie A Juventus returned to win in Italy after 9 years, while Gabriel Omar Batistuta rejoiced with his "machine gun" 26 times and while Milan abdicated from the throne of Europe after the defeat against Ajax by Patrick Kluivert, on the lower floors you fight and sweat as always. In that same year the iconic and controversial Luciano Gaucci was building the foundations to bring his Perugia Calcio to heaven. In the management there is also the eldest son Alessandro, who at that time held the role of CEO. At the same time as Marco Negri's goals, Gaucci junior founded Galex S.r.l. who will be the technical sponsor of the Umbrians until 2005. 10 years of incredible and iconic jerseys, dressed as cult players.

Not only the classic shade of red to make uniforms unique and iconic. Even the Perugia away kits have become irresistible and for more than 10 years the historic center of the Umbrian city was populated with shirts with the Grifo, anticipating the times when the mix between streetwear and football became fashionable. But that's not all that glitters now. The tale of Perugia suddenly died out after the terrible crash of the Gaucci Group companies in February 2006, when Galex officially went bankrupt. In 2010, the brand was taken over at the bankruptcy auction by Tecnosport Italia S.r.l. of Perugia, which has been the owner ever since. Beyond a parable that lasted relatively short in the world of football, Galex was a wonderful feeling.
