The first soccer jersey of Boca Juniors was pink, which was changed shortly for a black and white vertical stripped one. There are two versions why the decided to change their original jersey: 1) there are those who said that in 1906 Boca lost a soccer match where the colors of the jersey were at play, 2) others claim that the reason for the change was that its players and fans were constantly mocked by others because the colors were too “feminine”. Anyway, after the loss, decided to look for new official colors.
The original jersey color was pink, which was quickly abandoned for thin black-and-white vertical stripes. The legend has it that in 1906 Boca played another team that used these colors, to decide who would get to keep them. Boca lost, and decided to adopt the colors of the flag of the first boat to subsequently sail into the port at La Boca which was the 4146 ton freighter Drottning Sophia, sailing from Copenhagen.As the boat was from Sweden, yellow and blue were adopted as the new team colours. The first version had a yellow diagonal band, which was later changed to a horizontal stripe.
