Argentina will break from tradition by choosing to dispense with their familiar pale blue and white striped jersey for the upcoming World Cup semi-final against England.
Instead, they will take the field in a darker navy blue away kit to invoke a highly specific piece of historical football magic.
The darker blue uniform is a nod to the legendary strip worn by Diego Maradona during the iconic 1986 World Cup tournament.
This choice is highly intentional, nodding to one of the most famous moments in history when Argentina knocked England out of the tournament, thanks to the 'Hand of God' and a moment of brilliance from Maradona.
Buenos Aires newspaper Crónica highlighted the highly anticipated clash by running a picture of team captain Lionel Messi.
