Maradona 86's new Tribute shirt was released a couple of weeks ago. It is made by Le Coq Sportif and is the third time they have released a commemorative shirt like this.
Maradona 86 Tribute Kit
Check out Le Coq Sportif's Maradona 86 Tribute football shirt below.
The Le Coq Sportif Maradona 86 Tribute shirt is based on the shirt worn by Maradona and his Argentina teammates wore when they won the 1986 World Cup in mexico. The simple sky blue and white striped design with a round neck collar are faithful to the original, but the modern Le Coq Sportif logo and "86" badge mark it out as a reproduction.
The back is of course printed with the number 10 while ventilation holes are present all over the Le Coq Sportif Maradona 86 Tribute shirt. "Coronados de Gloria" text is placed just beneath the back of the collar.
Previous Editions
Last year, Le Coq Sportif released an almost identical shirt (above) as part of a collection that also featured socks and a sweatshirt. The same 86 logo was used in place of the Argentinian FA badge and the stripes' colours were inverted. The LCS logo was also slightly bigger and the colours of the French tricolour flag were visible on the collar.
A 20 year anniversary version was also released in 2006, as sported by Dios himself in the photos above. Featuring the same logo as the original, the shape of the 86 badge was not as close to the FA badge as those of the newer versions.
Not bad, but it would be impossible to recapture the magic of the original.

Fans Criticize Disappointing 26-27 Bundesliga Kit Designs
The 2026-27 Bundesliga season is approaching, and early kit releases have sparked widespread dissatisfaction among supporters. A recent viral discussion on social media highlighted the negative reception, with some fans suggesting that this could be an all-time bad year for German football jersey designs as multiple clubs unveil their new looks.
Specific complaints have been directed at several major teams across the league. Bayer Leverkusen's new kit has been heavily criticized and described by some as a black and red monstrosity. Schalke also drew mixed reactions; although some fans appreciated the general aesthetic, others were quick to point out the non-white Adidas stripes and compared the overall pattern to a copy of Croatia's national team shirts.
Despite the overwhelming criticism, not every release has been universally panned, as Borussia Monchengladbach's new shirt managed to earn a relatively positive reception from some supporters. With several clubs, including Freiburg, still yet to officially present their 2026-27 kits, fans are left hoping for better designs to salvage what has been a largely disappointing release cycle so far.
