INFO – This Adidas design was intended for use at the 1994 World Cup. It didn’t make the cut. The shirt featured the traditional ‘Albiceleste’ colour scheme of sky blue and white but ultimately its downfall would be the black stripes that also adorned the shirt. Argentine FA president, Julio Grondona, decreed that it was unacceptable and a new design should be submitted. Adidas had already started production on the design so a number of the banned designs are still floating around. The whole saga was made to look more than a little futile when Reebok took up the mantle four years later and proceeded to make a kit that had no shortage of black on it.
