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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
As well as the home and away jerseys, there is a number of training and leisure items available to buy. Some of our most popular items are the Argentina polo shirt, plus anthem jackets, training tops, shorts, socks and other items. The Argentina tracksuit, which is available in both adults and junior sizes, is one of the most popular pieces of merchandise for the national team.
