Tomás Pozzo and Iván Marcone posed with the new Independiente garments
Independiente and the Copa Libertadores They have their own intertwined stories. El Rojo is the one who has won it several times in history, with seven conquests. The most precious continental trophy is crossed by the Avellaneda companies that have marked decades of glory and good football.
With every step he takes, Independiente thinks of the Copa Libertadores, his great love. This does not change, apart from the fact that the present offers him another reality, far from that of the golden age of Santoro, Sa, Pavoni, Pastoriza and then Bochini and Bertoni, among many other idols.
And the new jersey that was presented this Wednesday through the social networks of the institution and the Puma company, and which is already on sale for its fans, pays tribute to one of the teams left in one of the eternal paintings of the Devil’s Museum : the club’s third Copa Libertadores champion in 1972which also won the Intercontinental a year later.
The new design, which will be released, is a nod to the clothing worn by that team. It is that the current coat is all red with a white collar and cuffs. In addition, both the shorts and the socks are also entirely red.
It is a return to the traditional all-red uniform. On the back, meanwhile, you can see a coat of arms for the 50th anniversary of the third conquest America obtained, the first of four in a row that made him the only four-time champion of this prestigious competition. Record he keeps to this day.
From the German company in charge of making Independiente clothing, they indicated that the starter kit has the same technology used by the best clubs in the world such as Manchester City, Milan and Dortmund.
The red jersey is already on sale at a price of 15,999 pesos. Pants and socks are also available for purchase.
