Sadly, the age of this shirt is showing as evidenced by the tear on the right sleeve, and bobbles and stains. With that being said however, the shirt would make excellent foil to wear whilst playing football, lounging, or exercising in, or possibly just to keep in one’s own collection.

DIMENSIONS:

Size: Small

Pit to Pit Measurement: 18 inches

Shirt Length: 27.5 inches 

Made in the Adidas ‘ClimaCool’ style of 2004-05, the sleeves are fairly spacious, however the body of the shirt is a perfect size small.

DESCRIPTION:

Used across 3 competitions where the ‘albiceleste’ were twice beaten finalists, and Olympic gold medal winners; Adidas’ 2004-05 Argentina shirt was one of their more daring, dare I say it, best designs for the South American powerhouses. Boasting the vinyl 3 stripes down the arms, the 3 blue stripes on the main body subtly render into the white backdrop; creating a truly wonderful, and unique shirt, absolutely befitting of the character of the Argentine national team.

The notable players that season(s) were:
