Argentina Lionel Messi Farewell Special Edition Jersey (2026)

Design Overview Released by Adidas to celebrate Lionel Messi's international career and his final appearance for Argentina against Benin at the Estadio Monumental, this commemorative one-off match jersey steps away from the traditional multi-stripe layout to honor the national flag.

Key Design Features

• Color Palette: A light sky blue base framing a single prominent white center stripe, accented with striking black collar and cuff trim edged in gold.

• Graphic Pattern: Features an intricate, fine tonal line pattern radiating across the front and back body—an abstract reinterpretation of Argentina's iconic Sol de Mayo (Sun of May).

• Collar Design: Styled with a clean, dark black crew-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs outlined with fine gold piping.

• Crest & Branding: Features a gold-accented AFA federation crest with three stars on the left chest, a gold number "10" on the center chest, and Messi's personal "M" signature logo taking the place of the traditional Adidas performance logo on the right chest.

• Back Detailing: Styled with "MESSI 10" printed in gold across the back, accompanied by a bespoke commemorative neckline sign-off framing a laurel-wreathed number 10 and the Sol de Mayo.

Technical Specifications
