Argentina and Adidas launch retro jersey to celebrate 50 years of partnership

7

Adidas and the Argentine Football Association (AFA) have unveiled a retro jersey inspired by the design worn during the 1974 FIFA World Cup.

The jersey retains the traditional sky-blue and white stripes and includes updates such as a laurel wreath around the crest and three stars above it, representing Argentina’s World Cup wins in 1978, 1986, and 2022.

The Albiceleste will wear this jersey for the first and only time in their upcoming match against Peru on Tuesday, November 19, at La Bombonera.

Adidas released a promotional video for the jersey featuring players from the national team and kit manager Mario “Marito” De Stéfano. Each participant delivers a few lines as part of the campaign.

The video also references Alejandro Garnacho, acknowledges the support of Argentine fans in Bangladesh, and includes a reference to former Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal, recalling the rivalry during the 2022 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals.

  1. Mac Allister carrying injury..I believe…! Enzo and Macca is nowhere near their level. We need fresh blood like everywhere…
    I hope Scaloni and team take this seriously..and drop the players who are not in form..from the starting X1.
    And drop old players completely from the team.
    We need fresh blood and young energy in this team. Otherwise complete disaster waiting in the coming WC…!

    • Yes, i think u are right about Mac carrying injury…, because like u said he has been nowwhere near his quality lately for LFC and with Enzo, well i don’t know if it is ”personal issues” or what, but he has to get more ”constant” in his game or, when he is playing as only sometimes showing a bit of flashes or glimpses in his game, but it happens too “ rarely” with him, though if he really “want’s to”, well he could or might get back to his best with Maresca, but he needs put all his effort just for the game and hopefully he can and even if he can, still fresh blood is more, than needed to create competition and make everyone understand, that there are no spot’s guaranteed, when playing for ALBICELESTE and even the coaching been repeating this “ mantra” for some time, well it does not certainly look so at all and while keep on calling on those who seriously should had been retired by themselves with some honesty and respect for the shirt as Di María did even he could be easily in this team, but Di Maria is not just only one of biggest legends in the game as he is so complete, humble and wise person etc.!

      I would love him still to play for ALBICELESTE, but even more I have so much respect for his decision not to anymore even it hurts, still he knows way better and also I’m sure he wants the younger players to get chances as if he would had continue playing for ALBICELESTE ( which he could easily do so), well he knows it will not serve the shirt in best possible way for the future and therefore I don’t get it why some are not retiring by themselves and I’m not talking about MESSI now as I trust his his wisdom to decide, when it will be his time to do it etc.

      But, seriously some if not retiring by themselves, well the coaching must take immediate decision, because if not ARG is just wasting even more time, which is very limited and even more so very precious for ARG’s future!

  2. Game vs Paraguay is proof of how we look when Macca and Enzo are out of form…. No transition, no defense from mid. Our left side was absent. Messi barely touched the ball. This reminded me of 2016.

    Ps this retro jersey is dope. I heard we are wearing it vs Peru
