Argentina’s 2016/17 period was one of mixed emotions. The side came close to winning the Copa América Centenario, reaching the final against Chile before losing on penalties. The campaign also included Messi’s brief international retirement and his dramatic return, capped by a brilliant hat-trick against Ecuador that helped Argentina reach the 2018 World Cup.
The 2016/17 Argentina home shirt sticks closely to the country's famous identity, with broad sky-blue and white stripes running across the front and back. Black is used around the crew neck, sleeve edges and adidas branding, while the AFA badge sits on the chest with the two championship stars above it. It has a straightforward, classic appearance that makes it instantly recognisable as an Argentina shirt.
