1998 Mexico aztec retro classic football shirt

Mexico escaped a difficult group stage in the 1998 World Cup, after scoring seven goals in their three games against South Korea, Belgium and the Netherlands. However, the Mexican side were narrowly defeated 1-2 by Germany in the first knockout round. Striker Luis Hernández and midfielder Cuauhtémoc Blanco were the standout players in this Mexican team, with Hernández scoring four goals over four games and Blanco providing one goal and two assists.

This shirt’s vibrant design was an evolution in Mexico’s football kits. Previous Mexican shirts had seen a variety of simple patterns, but this stunning design embraces Mexico’s Aztec culture in bold style. The imagery printed on the fabric echoes the artwork of the Aztec calendar. Along the collar and the trim of each sleeve, solid red and white stripes complement the green body of the shirt.
