The Prize

Take home this white Argentina national football team away shirt, match version from the late 1970s for former River Plate and Fiorentina defender Daniel Passarella.

Made in local knitwear factories from cotton piqué, this shirt features the varnish AFA logo on the chest and leather number sewn on the shoulders.

These types of shirts were used for the numerous local tours that the Selección organized to raise funds for the federation. Since there were no TV rights or private sponsors at the time, the only income came from the sale of match tickets.

The national team at the time would only call up players from the local league and organized individual friendlies and multi-game tournaments against local teams, comprising both official teams and regional selections.

Instead of using the classic white and blue kit, Selección usually wore a white or a dark blue shirt depending on the colors of the rival team's shirt. This was one of the first shirts to feature the AFA logo which was officially used for the first time in the 1978 home world championship.

Features:

- White long-sleeved away shirt
- Argentina emblem in varnish on chest
- Number sewn onto back
- #6, No size

No guarantee can be given that this item was worn by a player for the match, although there is a possibility that it was used and then washed after the game.
