Estudiantes Release Special-Edition Kit With "Argentina Logo"
Apr 21, 2023, by Pat
Club Estudiantes de La Plata's new 2023 special-edition kit, dubbed 'Homenaje' or 'Tribute', was released today. The kit is a tribute to former coach Carlos Bilardo, who led the team to success before winning the 1986 World Cup with the Argentine national team.
Estudiantes 2023 Special-Edition Kit
This is the new Ruge Estudiantes special-edition shirt for 2023.
The Ruge Club Estudiantes de La Plata 2023 special-edition jersey features vertical stripes in two shades of gray, similar to the design worn by the Argentine team during the World Cup, and has a mesh texture to represent Bilardo's famous search for cooler clothing during the tournament.
The collar of the Estudiantes 2023 third jersey is polo-style in the darker shade of gray, and the team's logo has been reinterpreted to incorporate an "E" in the style of the Argentine Football Association's symbol.
One of the most distinctive features of the new Estudiantes kit are the black shorts, which have a pocket on the back bearing Bilardo's signature. This detail references Bilardo's practice of having players carry lemon slices in their shorts to combat altitude sickness during matches played at high altitude.
The design is also meant to evoke the tie and shirt worn by Bilardo when he was known as "El Professor." The red-and-white side stripes are a nod to the tie, while the gray shirt and black shorts reflect the dark suit Bilardo wore when he coached the team.
The Estudiantes 2023 'Homenaje' jersey is available to buy online.

Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.
