The time-tested blue and white stripe history is carried on in the new Adidas Argentina home jersey. The history of the La Albiceleste stripes dates back to 1908 when Argentina took on a top-tier Brazilian league squad. Nonetheless, the golden components (crest) set the new kit apart.
However, the official Argentina Copa America shirt has not been announced by the official Adidas site and leaked by famous jersey leakers FootyHeadlines instead. The crest, of course, is situated over the heart on the left side of the chest and is adorned with three golden stars to represent the team’s most recent and third World Cup victory.

According to FootyHeadlines, the third star was originally arranged in a triangle with the other two stars above it; this arrangement is still in place but has changed a little. However, the 2024 Copa Amerca kit leak suggests a more balanced design. The gold Adidas three stripes are on the chest’s upper right side.
Golden colors were also applied to the players’ names and numbers on the back of the shirt, honoring the 2021 Copa America champions. Argentina intends to release its home uniform either early in 2024 or in November 2023.
Lionel Scaloni still unsure about managing Argentina in Copa America 2024
Recently, Argentina’s head coach, Lionel Scaloni, made a shocking announcement that suggested he would be leaving the position. This comes after an eventful period that included a heated altercation with the captain of the team, Lionel Messi, during the World Cup qualifying round.
According to various reports, Lionel Scaloni is still unsure about managing Argentina for the Copa America 2024, as he believes he lacks the energy the team requires. However, the AFA did not feel the same, as they are ready to back their World Cup-winning manager and want him to manage the nation for the upcoming Copa America 2024 event.
Lionel Scaloni on his future at Argentina National Team🗣️: “Spoke about it with Leo and we agreed to talk in a few days.”
Honestly, makes me sad, doesn’t sound like Scaloni who will return after Copa America. That will likely be the last dance.

Also, following Argentina’s triumph over Brazil, Scaloni publicly voiced his uncertainties regarding his future with the national squad. He said (via GOAL): “I have to think a lot about what to do. It’s not goodbye but the bar is very high. This group demands you permanently. This team needs a coach who has all the energy possible and be well”.
During his time leading Argentina, Scaloni has achieved incredible achievements. After leading the squad to a historic victory in Qatar at the 2022 World Cup, his contract was extended to 2026. But in light of these latest events, there is now some doubt as to whether he will serve out this term. It remains to be seen now what happens next with Scaloni’s future in the next few weeks or months.
