🇦🇷 New look, same goal: Argentina’s World Cup shirt | OneFootball

The Argentina national football team has officially unveiled the new home jersey they will wear at the upcoming World Cup, the 2026 World Cup. The launch, in collaboration with adidas, has generated great anticipation, promising a fusion of past glories and a bold design that celebrates the rich history of the Argentine Football Association (AFA).

The design of the new kit remains true to the iconic sky blue and white vertical stripes, albeit with an innovative visual twist. The traditional stripes now adopt a unique three-color gradient effect. This chromatic effect is not accidental; it channels and pays homage to the blue tones present in the jerseys of the three FIFA World Cups won by the 'Albiceleste': 1978, 1986, and the recent 2022.

This kit, to be worn by the current world champions, is much more than a uniform. It represents the connection between the different golden eras of Argentine football. Additionally, a commemorative detail is included on the back of the neck: a distinctive mark with the inscription '1896', celebrating the founding date of the AFA, highlighting a century and a quarter of football history.

The launch aims to inject a spirit of victory and modernity in the lead-up to the tournament to be held in North America. The jersey is positioned as a symbol of pride that seeks to unite fans of all generations, from those who remember Maradona to those who celebrated with Messi in Qatar. The AFA emphasizes that this 'skin' is a tribute to identity and a push towards new challenges.

The new jersey is expected to make its debut in upcoming international commitments. Fans and collectors will soon be able to acquire this garment that encapsulates the legacy and future vision of the Argentina national team, with the hope of adding a fourth star to the crest at the 2026 World Cup.
