This is the new adidas Home shirt for Argentine football giants Boca Juniors.
The latest incarnation of the instantly recognisable colours is trading on the iconic even more than usual, paying tribute to a famous design worn by Diego Maradona.
El Diego passed away in 2020 and the new release sees the enduring yellow band on a minimalist blue base, with the usual crest dispensed with in favour of four yellow stars housing the letters C, A, B and J - the initialism standing for “Club Atlético Boca Juniors”.
The current domestic champions’ throwback shirt - marking 40 years since Maradona led Boca to the Metropolitano championship - does stop short of seeing a return for adidas’s Trefoil logo. Instead, it features the usual “Performance” version and the German brand’s stripes on the shoulders, while the standard crest is present on the upper back.
The main sponsor, Qatar Airways, has its wordmark in contrasting blue on the aforementioned band and the secondary partnership is in white on the lower back.
For further historical accuracy, the kit is completed with blue shorts and, somewhat unusually, yellow socks.
