Since 1905, Boca Juniors has been not only one of the most successful soccer clubs in Argentina, but all of the world, as well. The club's 18 international titles are a world record matched only by Italy's A.C. Milan.
Today, Nike unveiled a seafaring look for the Buenos Aires-based team. Using the ports of the La Boca neighborhood as its muse, the new home kit features the yellow stripe across the chest that has emblazoned Boca Junior's uniforms since 1913. The round neck collar collar features two buttons each engraved around an anchor and the club's acronym: C.A.B.J.
The same anchor appears on a pennant on the inside of the neck with the club's founding year of 1905. The anchor is meant to commemorate the Swedish ships that arrived at La Boca's ports at the beginning of the century, which also happened to have inspired the team's blue and yellow uniform colors.
The white away jersey features the same classic golden chest stripe and anchor-adorning pennant on the inside of the neck.
Boca Juniors will debut the uniforms on-field for their first home game of the First Division Championship 2014. The kits will be available Nike stores for the public beginning August 1.
