They presented new Argentina national team jersey

The Argentine Football Association today introduced the new uniform to the national team will wear during the 2010 World Cup in an event that was attended by the boss of AFA Julio Grondona, Juan Sebastian Veron and Walter Koll, president of Adidas Argentina.

The shirt has a retro, and is quite similar to the model of Le Coq Sportif dress that is selected during the '86 World Cup, including the design of the shield, which is identical to that used on that occasion. Another interesting feature is that now, with the same design, players will choose between two different types of technologies (Techfit or ClimaCool), and type of cut that is more comfortable (adjusted to the body or loose). As emotional detail in the back, the neck reads the phrase "live crowned with glory, or swear to die gloriously", belonging to the last stanza of the national anthem.

The shirt will be released on November 14 in the friendly against Spain in Madrid. Here we can see the new jersey in action. Personally, I quite like the new design but, as always, the last word lies with the reader ...
