Alianza Lima 2025 Home & Away Kits Too Similar to Boca Home Kit - Team Wears 2024 Training Shirt

The Peruvian side had to improvise its matchday attire when faced with Boca's traditional blue and yellow home strip. With Nike having provided Alianza a blue-dominated home kit and an entirely blue away kit for the current season, the team was left without a suitable option to prevent confusion against Boca's colors. Alianza Lima's solution was to utilize white training shirts from last season, which featured only minimal blue detailing on the collar.
