Boca unveil new shirt honouring Copa Libertadores 2001: debut, prices | OneFootball

With a very similar design, Adidas launched a kit marking the 25th anniversary of the Xeneize’s fourth conquest of South America.

This Thursday, May 28, Boca unveiled its new jersey. In fact, Adidas created this brand-new shirt as a tribute to 2001, the year the Xeneize won its fourth Copa Libertadores, as 25 years have now passed. In that regard, they will debut it against Universidad Católica in the match corresponding to the final round of the group stage, where qualification is on the line.

Although back then the team from La Ribera was with Nike, the German brand came up with a similar design but with its own stamp. One of the most striking details is that the crest is in the center, meaning in the chest area and not just over the left side as usual. In addition, the three-stripe logo is also in the middle, right above the blue-and-gold badge.

The truth is that Boca released a new kit in tribute to the one used in 2001. The brand-new jersey has features very similar to the one it wore 25 years ago and, because the anniversary marks a quarter of a century, Adidas created a tribute. As has been the case for some time now, it features Betsson in the middle of the shirt, the sports betting company that sponsors the club.

On the sleeves it has Cetrogar, the same sponsor it already had last season, so that is not a major novelty. On the upper part of the back, it reads: “25 years, 2001.” In the usual layout, the players’ surnames appear at the top, each player’s number is in the middle, and DIRECTV is below, also long associated with the Xeneize.

In addition to the already mentioned jersey, a full kit was also presented. In that sense, Boca and Adidas launched the shorts and socks, which feature an identical shade of blue to go with the home shirt. On the other hand, a T-shirt is also now available, featuring an image of South America and the “25 years, 2001” emblem, along with the crest and the brand’s logo.
