This is Independiente’s new third kit | OneFootball

This Thursday, the Reds officially unveiled their third kit. Beyond the design that won over nostalgics, fans were quick to notice a detail that feels like a jab at the neighbors across the street. A small message to remind everyone who leads the all-time record in Avellaneda.

The chosen date was April 23. For the unaware, it might be just another day, but in the world of Independiente, “23” is the match difference they hold over Racing in the all-time record, which was recently updated after the latest 1-0 win with a goal by Ávalos. The official debut will be this Friday at 5:00 PM, when the Reds visit Riestra at the “Guillermo Laza.”

What Independiente did today is no coincidence, just like what we experienced last April 15 was no coincidence either. On Unión’s 119th anniversary, Colón’s greeting came with a subtle “poisoned dart” that drove fans wild on social media.

The Sabalero community manager posted the greeting at 4:06 AM, recalling the date when Colón won its first star in San Juan in 2021.
