Boca Juniors start the new year with a big celebration. Nike unveiled new Boca Juniors limited edition football kit, which celebrates the 105 years since the founding of the club
The year was 1905 when a group of Italian immigrants who were part of a football team in La Boca neighborhood, decided to found the club Boca Juniors, without suspecting that, over time, it would become one of the biggest clubs in Argentina .
The name was not something that was hard to define, from the beginning, all agreed to honour their neighbourhood. The choice of colours, however, was the subject of discussions that ended solved through choosing the colours of the flag of the first ship that arrived at the port of La Boca, which was yellow and blue of the flag of Sweden.
To celebrate this 105th anniversary, Nike (Boca Juniors kit manufacturer since 1995) designed a football shirt, limited edition, which commemorates the Swedish flag that inspired the founders of the club. This game jersey has advanced technology, Dri-Fit, which significantly reduces the flow of body moisture.
Moreover, the limited edition has Dynamic 3D Fit and structures that make the garment have a better fit to the body and is ultra light. Also, the limited edition shirt features a numbered authenticity label and a side label, with the caption “Bostero desde 1905”. (Bostero since 1905).

Good thinking Nike... although it does have a classy feel to it almost.
"The colours of the flag of the first ship that arrived at the port of La Boca, which was yellow and blue of the flag of Sweden."
They could've placed the vertical stripe at an angle to avoid looking like the Swedish flag.
9/10
not just printed on the fabric.
and also the "old styled" crest...
fantastic kit!
only the sponsors are disturbing
If you have nothing to say SHUT UP!
One question - “Bostero desde 1905” ? Is Bostero not the Argentine slang for "Shit"?
Yes it is, bostero means made of cow shit (bosta) but boca juniors fans love to call theme self like that. Funny right?
I hope the fans at La Bombonera wave Swedish flags alongside their usual flags - which just have one yellow horizontal stripe - to commemorate their 105th anniversary.
In argentina Only Boca and River have Great sponsorship (Nike against Adidas) , the rest of the teams have contrat with local brands ( Penalty, topper, Olimpicus) , middle-range brands ( diadora, lotto, mitre ) or just local bad-quality subsidiares of good marks who make local-cheap sutff paying the license..( Umbro & puma )
The original jersey colour was pink, but this was quickly abandoned for thin black-and-white vertical stripes.[11] Legend has it that in 1906, Boca played another team that used this strip to decide who would get to keep it. Boca lost, and decided to adopt the colors of the flag of the first boat to sail into the port at La Boca. This proved to be the 4146 ton freighter "Drottning Sophia", a Swedish vessel sailing from Copenhagen.[12] As a result, the yellow and blue of the Swedish flag were adopted as the new team colours.[13] The first version had a yellow diagonal band, which was later changed to a horizontal stripe.[14]
Se regreso al viejo escudo algo muy original, habria que sacar los sponsor solo por esta vez, la arruina
creo q en la parte trasera de una de las medias, en la derecha probablemente se repite la cruz
y Boca es la alegría de mi corazón
sos mi vida, vos sos la pasión ...
más allá de toda explicación ...
Y a mí no me interesa en que cancha jugués
Local o visitante yo te vengo a ver
Si la muerte nos va a separar
Desde el cielo te voy a alentar ♥♥♥
Soy de Boca, y sé bien la historia. Es por eso, que nos hacemos llamar Bosteros, es decir, Fanáticos del Club Atlético Boca Juniors.
