Seleccion Argentina - Charity football and friendlies...

This model was designed by Oscar Tubio, a designer of iconic t-shirts in Argentina. This model was presented to be used in the 1990 World Cup, and Julio Grondona rejected it for political reasons among others. Tubio came up with the idea after an intimate chat with Diego Maradona. The 'Ten' wanted a shirt like that because he was fed up with Europeans calling South Americans 'sudacas' in a demeaning way; his wish was to "shove the Argentine flag in their faces." Added to this was the inflexible stance of coach Carlos Salvador Bilardo, who, out of superstition (and commercial loyalty), did not want to touch under any circumstances the traditional striped model with which they had come out world champions in Mexico 86. There were also cross economic disputes over royalty payments for the design. It’s a genius of a shirt. The design broke with the traditional light blue and white vertical stripes to replicate exactly the Argentine flag, crossed horizontally and proudly displaying the Sun of May in the center. Although it was never worn in an official match, the shirt became legendary for two iconic appearances in the nineties: • Charly García wore it live when he presented his version of the National Anthem, and the very Diego himself ended up wearing it in a benefit match in 1994 and in a friendly with friends. A total genius that went down in history! Original shirt, very hard to obtain today!!!
