Three stars, two colours, one passion.
Sky Blue and White Stripes: The Identity of the Albiceleste
The Argentine team plays in vertical sky blue and white stripes, the colours of the national flag, which is where it gets its nickname Albiceleste. Above the badge are three stars, representing the World Cups of 1978, 1986, and 2022. In 2026, the team reached another global final, which they lost to Spain after extra time.
The country also holds the record for the most wins in Copa América, with sixteen titles, including the last two in 2021 and 2024. These successes are reflected on the recent jerseys, which mix the world stars and references to the team's history.
Other Major National Teams
The Albiceleste has its rivals, and each has its own page. The Nations page gathers all the national teams, Brazil features the kits of the neighbouring and major rival from South America, and Spain showcases la Roja, the opponent in the 2026 final. Germany, which faced the Argentine team in finals in 1986, 1990, and 2014, England, which lost in the quarter-finals in 1986, and France, the opponent in the 2022 final, also have their own selection of kits.
Maradona, 1986, and Retro Argentine Jerseys
On June 22, 1986, in Mexico, Diego Maradona scored two famous goals against England in the quarter-finals: the Hand of God and a run from his own half, later voted the goal of the century. A week later, the Argentine team beat West Germany 3-2 in the final at the Azteca Stadium and secured their second star.
The brand Copa Football brings this era back to life: a retro jersey inspired by 1984, an embroidered polo, and number 10 socks bearing the name of the captain, a boxed set of three pairs of socks, socks inspired by the 1978 World Cup, and a t-shirt embroidered with World Champions 1986. These are pieces for fans who grew up with the exploits of number 10.
Home, Away, or Anthem Jacket: the adidas Range of the Argentine
adidas, a loyal partner of the Albiceleste since 2001, offers their jersey in several versions. The home jersey features the sky blue and white stripes, the away jersey changes colour for each major tournament, and the long-sleeve version is suitable for cooler evenings. The home shorts complete the players' kit, and the socks are available in both adult and child sizes.
For pre-match, the Anthem jacket worn during the anthems and the matching tracksuit bottoms dress the supporters, while the looser Z.N.E. jacket is suitable for city wear. The Legends t-shirts, captain's t-shirt, a ball, and a mini-ball in Argentine colours complete the collection.
When to Look Out for an Albiceleste Jersey
Between tournaments, the Argentine jersey has several key moments. Black Friday and the end-of-year festivities kick off the gift season, followed by winter sales filling the Promos. The French Days liven up the spring, followed by summer sales and the resumption of training, when the jerseys from the previous competition go on Clearance. Each order is prepared and shipped within 24 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the number 1893 on the Argentine jersey mean?
It commemorates the founding, on February 21, 1893, of the Argentine Association Football League, a predecessor of the current Argentine federation and one of the oldest in the world. It is printed on the nape, above the lettering.
What size Argentine jersey should I choose between M and L?
In supporter version, the cut is straight: take your usual t-shirt size. If you're unsure between M and L or want to layer a sweater underneath, choose the larger size; the authentic version, which is more fitted, runs smaller.
Is the retro Copa Maradona jersey the one worn in matches?
This is a reissue by Copa Football, reminiscent of the style of the 1980s jersey with current materials. It is designed for everyday wear, in the city or in the stands, rather than for playing.
Are there child sizes of the Argentine jerseys already printed?
Yes, some child jerseys come directly printed with a name and a number. Otherwise, any home or away jersey can receive the printing of your choice, including the child's first name.
When did the Argentine team win its three World Cups?
In 1978 at home, against the Netherlands, in 1986 in Mexico against West Germany, and then in 2022 in Qatar, on penalties against France after a 3-3 draw, one of the most spectacular finals in history.
