This is Independiente's new third shirt | OneFootball

This Thursday, El Rojo officially unveiled its third kit. Beyond the design that won over the nostalgic fans, supporters 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. To some unsuspecting people it might seem like just another day, but in the world of Independiente, “23” is the match difference they hold over Racing in the head-to-head record, recently updated after the latest 1-0 win with a goal from Ávalos. The official debut will be this Friday at 5:00 PM, when El Rojo visits Riestra at the “Guillermo Laza.”

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

El Sabalero’s CM posted the greeting at 04:06 a.m., recalling the date when Colón won its first star in San Juan in 2021.
