Days before there were rumors and articles on different websites that claimed to have pictures of Argentina’s 2011 soccer jersey, well the story is still unnofficial ,but we have a picture of the 2011 Home/Away Argentina soccer jersey. It will be officially presented on Tuesday on a show that will take place in Buenos Aires (capital).

Argentinos Juniors soccer jersey wore against Fluminense

During last Wednesday Copa Libertadores Cup match between Argentinos Juniors and Fluminense it was not the only news that the Argentinean team played another game at the oldest club competition in the world after several years of absence, but also that they played wearing a football shirt which

design was chosen by their fans.  In the opening game of the group 3 of the Copa Libertadores, Fluminense from Brazil was playing against “Los Bichos”, as it is known Argentinos Juniors in their home country. Because the home kit of Fluminense was Red and Green, which is similar to the red jersey that wears Argentinos Juniors, the Argentinean team had to wear the away kit. For the occasion, they not only wore a redesigned alternative kit, but also a newly colored done. Their fans voted in the official website of the institution to wear for the first time a sky blue jersey during a match (it is their 3rd away kit).  The kit was worn for the only time for the opener of the Copa Libertadores Cup. They will play with their original red jersey the next matches. Another interesting fact was that they wore two sponsors, Opticas Diniz and Minds English School, just for that match and the rematch against Fluminense.

“Estudiantes” name comes from as its openly describes a group of mainly student who decided to found the club with their profession name. The design and colors on its official soccer jersey team were established since its beginning. Their history goes back on February 28^th 1906 when an assembly was being held to propose its colors, their first members, the Alumni (top Argentine soccer team), decided that the red and white vertical stripes will be worn.

However, some soccer historians said that “Estudiantes” wore during those first years a red jersey with a stripe on its chest, but the Argentinian soccer rector that regulated the matches did not allow them to wear it since its model was very similar to the Alumni’s soccer jersey.

Uruguay Soccer Jersey

History

At the begining of the twentieth century, the teams of Argentina and Uruguay played continuously between them. The Uruguayan teams dreamed of beating the powerful Alumni team from Argentina, which only lost 2 tournaments between 1900 and 1911 (this is the year they disappeared). The 10^th of April of 1910, in Parque Central, River Plate of Montevideo beat a Alumni 2 to 1, using a sky blue jersey because their regular jersey was similar to the one of Alumni. At the sixth edition of Limpton Cup, the argentinians proposed that Uruguay changed its striped jersey, which was similar to the one of Argentina, because that uniform was officially adopted by “Argentine Association Football League”.

The delegate from Montevideo Wanderers, another Uruguayan team, Ricardo Le Bas, proposed that in order to honor the victory of River Plate against Alumni, the Uruguayan national team should use a sky blue jersey. Le Bas initiative, supported by the president of the league, Hector R. Gomez (who made this requests as one of his own), was approved by all the members of the parliament of the Uruguayan league. The 15^th of August of 1910, Uruguay, wearing for the first time the sky-blue jersey (or “Celeste” as it is well known) beat  Argentina 3 to 1 in Montevideo Wanderers field, in Belvedere).

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.[AffomaticEbay] boca juniors jersey [/AffomaticEbay]
