World Cup fever continues to grow and, in preparation for what will be one of the most anticipated years for soccer in North America, Adidas launched a new Mexican National Team apparel, with a twist that is already winning over thousands of fans: a retro edition inspired by Mexico 1986.
According to the information presented on Tuesday, the new tricolor products come as a tribute to one of the most memorable moments for Mexican soccer: the 1986 World Cup, the second World Cup held in Mexico. Forty years after that edition, the German brand decided to revive a classic style that marked an era and that, for many, represents one of the most emblematic jerseys in the history of El Tri.
A reissue that revives the spirit of ’86
The main piece of this collection is a retro t-shirt, which takes the design of the jersey used by the Mexican National Team in the World Cup.
The model is green, with details that stand out for their traditional aesthetics: classic collar and the typical Adidas stripes in white.
In addition, the shield also follows the style of those years, replicating the design used in 1986.
For fans in the United States – home to a huge Mexican and Mexican-American community – these types of launches are especially attractive.
They mix nostalgia, identity and sports fashion in a single garment.
It is the kind of shirt that can be used both to support the Mexican National Team and for everyday wear, with a vintage look that is in fashion around the world.
