The Copa America, the biggest intercontinental fútbol tournament in Latin America, is taking place this summer. The tournament, set to run from June 20th to July 14th this year, will see the 10 CONMEBOL teams face off against 6 CONCACAF teams. It will take place in the United States.
Argentina, the reigning World Cup champion, is also the Copa America champion. They are set to play the inaugural match on June 20th, at 6 PM at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The sixteen teams will then be divided into four groups of four with the two best teams in each group qualifying to the quarterfinals. The final game of the tournament will be played at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
The jerseys for the teams playing in the Copa America have not all been unveiled, but here is a look at the ones that have been announced, and what the home and away kits for each nation look like.
Argentina
Home
The typical albiceleste shirt is “injected with fresh gold detailing–designed to mark recent success achieved on a global stage.”
Away
Reminiscent of Maradona days, the away kit is royal blue, with “metallic graphic inserts and touches of light blue and white derived from the nation’s iconic flag.”
Chile
Home
Chile’s home kit “features a mosaic of red squares, representing a ’ red tide’ of Chile fans showing their support for their nation.”
Away
Chile’s away kit, meanwhile, pays homage to the Andes mountains, “ignited by vibrant blue and red highlights that symbolize La Roja’s passion ahead of the summer.”
Colombia
Home
Colombia’s home kit features the wings of a phoenix “applied along the side panel of the jersey.” The jersey is, of course, the typical yellow.
Away
In contrast, the away jersey “features a dark base color with smoke patterns complemented by striking flamed orange detailing that flicker across the jersey.”
Mexico
Home
The home jersey’s design features “patterns influenced by their iconic symbol of the Eagle–with feather graphics on the base.”
Away
The away jersey includes an all-over pattern that “depicts the serpent that can be found on the Mexican coat of arms.”
Peru
Home
Peru’s home jersey is a “reimagined classic, with the iconic Peruvian red sash punctuation and a white base. Binding the design together is a base graphic inspired by the texture found on the Peruvian Cajon.”
Away
The away kit, meanwhile, “has been given a bold injection of their traditional red sash – via a unique textured pattern, which also takes its aesthetic from the Peruvian Cajon instrument.”
Venezuela
Home
Venezuela’s home kit comes in the traditional red wine hue that gives the team its nickname of “La Vinotinto” and features gold detailing.
Away
A white base and a twisted graphic in the blue and yellow colors of the Venezuelan flag, which are complemented by red detailing give the away kit a much more distinctive look.
