Argentina Football
Shirt
The Argentine national football
shirt is one of the most instantly recognisable kits in world football and is
one of the bestselling international football
shirts every year. The distinctive light blue and white striped home
shirt has been worn by some of the most legendary players in the game, such as
Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi and Gabriel Batistuta.
One of the most successful
national soccer teams of all time, Argentina have won 19 international titles
including the 1978 and 1986 World Cups, plus 14 Copa America titles.
Argentina Home Shirt
Interestingly, Argentina’s first
ever shirt was all white and was worn against Uruguay in 1901 – a match they
won 3 goals to 2. The kit comprised of white shorts and grey socks but from
1911, they adopted the light blue and white striped shirt with black shorts and
white socks, which remains famous to this day. There have been a few exceptions
to this, most notably in 1919 when they wore a light blue kit, similar to that
of Uruguay, when they faced Brazil in the Roberto Chery Cup.
The national team’s nick name is
“Albicelestes” which translates to the white and sky blue, in keeping with the
colours of the Argentina home jersey.
Argentina Away Shirt
The Argentina away kit is traditionally dark blue or navy
and is worn with matching socks and white shorts. Such is the popularity of
Argentina, that fans regularly buy both the home and away jersey. The hardest
decision when purchasing a kit is not whether or not you want to buy it but
choosing which legends name should go on the back of the kit. Argentina have
been spoiled with many top players over the years, such as Carlos Tevez, Juan
Roman Riquelme and Javier Zanetti.
At the 1958 World Cup in Sweden,
Argentina suffered an embarrassing incident when they were forced to wear the
yellow jersey of IFK Malmo in order to prevent a colour clash against West
Germany, as they did not bring a change kit to the tournament.
Messi Argentina Kit
It is not surprising that Lionel Messi Argentina Shirts are one
of the bestselling soccer jerseys at UKSoccershop. Arguably the greatest player
of all time, Argentina kits printed with Messi name and number are a huge hit
with supporters, whether it is for children, women or adults.
Messi wears the number 10 jersey
for Argentina, a number made famous by the legendary Diego Maradona.
Maradona Argentina Shirt
In 1986, Diego Maradona
guaranteed his legacy as an Argentine national icon when he single handedly
inspired an otherwise uninspiring team to World Cup glory. Although the match
will be best remembered for his infamous Hand of God goal, Maradona went onto
score a brilliant individual winner which is arguably the greatest goal ever
scored at the World Cup.
Over the years, many players were
handed the unenviable task of trying to replicate the success of Maradona, but
all failed. Even Lionel Messi, despite his undoubted talent, has failed to live
up to the accomplishments of Maradona in an Argentina shirt. It is for this
reason that to this day, sales of the Maradona
Argentina jersey still rival Messi and all current national team players.
Adidas Argentina Shirt
The Argentina kits are
manufactured by Adidas, who are long-time partners of the national team.
However, this has not always been the case. The most famous jersey in the
history of Argentina is the one from the 1986 World Cup, which was manufactured
by Le Coq Sportif.
