The 1986 Season: Argentina's World Cup Glory
The Iconic 1986 Home Shirt
The 1986 Argentina home shirt stands as one of football's most elegant designs, featuring a simple yet sophisticated light blue and white striped pattern. Manufactured by Le Coq Sportif, the shirt was specially made with Airtex material to combat Mexico's summer heat. The central stripe was uniquely white instead of blue - a rare deviation from tradition that made this shirt particularly distinctive.
