On Friday, San Lorenzo de Almagro launched their new 08/09 football kits made by Lotto. The party was held at noon at the corner of San Ignacio and Boedo, in the City of Buenos Aires.
In the early 1900s, a street gang based in the Almagro barrio (neighborhood) would invite gangs from other neighborhoods to play street football by writing in graffiti: Los Forzosos de Almagro desafían (Almagro's strongmen dare you). As tramway and bus lines extended into Almagro, street playing became dangerous; following an accident in which a tramway car seriously injured a footballer, Catholic priest Lorenzo Massa started hosting the games in the backyard of his parish church in México avenue. Under his guidance, a football club was formally established April 1, 1908 and named San Lorenzo de Almagro honoring both Father Massa and the barrio.
According to the San LorenzoUSA.com site, the third option (a black T-shirt with red births, which is also attached photo) was not submitted because it was not approved. The main sponsor of the team continues to be Wal-Mart.
