Argentina Home Jersey 2006 — Retro

Argentina's 2006 shirt belongs to a specific moment — Messi's first World Cup as an 18-year-old, and the tournament that produced the 24-pass goal against Serbia and Montenegro that people still reference twenty years on. Riquelme, Crespo, Tévez, Cambiasso. The team went out on penalties to Germany in the quarter-finals.

The design is the classic albiceleste: vertical sky blue and white stripes, the pattern Argentina has worn with minor variations since the 1900s and one of the most recognisable in international football.

Retro shirts from this era have held their appeal better than most, partly because the cut is closer and less baggy than the 90s kits, and partly because it's the shirt people associate with Messi before he became Messi.

Now reduced. While stock lasts.
