Argentina Away Jersey 1990/91 – Store – Adidas – Italy '90 World Cup – Vintage

The 1990/91 Argentina Away Kit: The Blue Face of the Maradona Era

The Argentina national team's second kit for the 1990/1991 season is one of the most iconic relics of international football spanning the World Cup and Copa América. Produced by Adidas, it features a tone-on-tone geometric pattern across the chest and back, an elegant and recognizable stylistic detail that immediately distinguishes it from the white and sky-blue striped home versions. The collar and cuffs, originally white, now show a grey-beige hue due to the natural yellowing of the fabrics over time, an authentic sign of a garment that is over thirty years old. The official AFA (Asociación del Fútbol Argentino) crest in golden fabric appears on the chest, while the shoulders are embellished with the three white Adidas stripes. The trefoil logo, in its historical version, is embroidered on the front and printed in yellow on one of the sleeves. A Store item, without a name and number on the back, it nonetheless represents a valuable piece of recent South American football history.

Historical Context: Diego Maradona's Argentina between Italia '90 and Copa América 1991

This Away kit accompanied the Argentine national team during one of the most intense periods of its recent history. With Diego Armando Maradona still captain and symbol of the team, Argentina reached the final of the Italia '90 World Cup, only losing to West Germany in Rome. The same uniform, with slight variations, then accompanied the Albiceleste in their conquest of the 1991 Copa América, a tournament that crowned a new generation of players alongside those who remained from the World Cup cycle. Wearing this shirt therefore means owning a tangible fragment of an era in which Argentine football, led by one of the greatest champions of all time, competed at the highest international levels, amidst exhilarating feats and defeats that have become legendary in sports history.

What is an original Store kit?

An original Store kit is the official commercial version produced and distributed for sale to fans, distinct from the Player Issued or Match Worn kits reserved for team supply. While it does not feature personalized names and numbers, it is an authentic garment from the era, made by the official technical sponsor with the same logos, colours, and technical details as the kit worn by the players on the field. For collectors, it represents a more accessible, yet fully authentic, access to the history of a national team or club, especially when the item belongs to an era and sporting context of great historical significance like the one presented here.
