Argentina Home Football Shirt Jersey Maglia Trikot 1985 1986 Diego Maradona
Used in the lead up the momentous 1986 World Cup, which they of course won, insured by the genius of Diego Maradona. His iconic number “10” is on the back of this shirt. This is an original Japanese market issue shirt from the era. Japanese market shirts were shirts licensed for production by European companies like Adidas, Kappa, and in this case Le Coq Sportif. They would usually do this only with the very big clubs and national teams, or teams that contained a very popular player (like Platini and France 1986, Zico and Brazil 1986 etc), and also shirts worn by teams who had won a major competition (like Argentina 1986, Holland 1988, Italy 1982).
In Very Good vintage, worn condition compared to similar shirts of this age. There is the very feint outline of an original crest below the current one, as this was repaired.
Size Adults Medium equivalent. Jaspo L, which was the Japanese market sizing from the era. Pit to pit is 50.5cm, and length from top of shoulder to hem is 73cm.
