AC Milan to wear commemorative Chapecoense kits
AC Milan faces Calabrian minnow Crotone on Sunday at the San Siro, and Vincenzo Montella's Rossoneri will pay tribute to disaster-stricken Brazilian side Chapecoense with a one-off kit.
The home strip will feature the Chapecoense crest on the shoulder and the words "FORCA CHAPE" on the back, according to a statement on Milan's website Friday.
