Mexico have dropped their traditional green colourway from this year’s international home kits, with adidas unveiling a slick, Aztec-inspired black home jersey on their official Twitter account.

Despite being historically nicknamed ‘El Tri’, which is a reference to Mexico’s tri-colour flag, the new adidas home strip for international fixtures in 2019 mostly sees a distinct absence of red, white and green.

​

Instead, the German sportswear brand has payed tribute to the 1986 adidas ‘Azteca’ World Cup ball, producing a gorgeous black jersey worthy of the 2-time World Cup quarter-finalists and 7-time CONCACAF Gold Cup winners.

At its most basic, the new home strip is essentially a black-on-black hoops design. However, within each of the thick ‘hoops’ is a beautiful, Aztec-style graphic which looks great whether up close or when seen from a distance.

The traditional red, white and green colourway is given only the most incredibly subtle of tributes, appearing at the very bottom of the sleeve cuffs as a minor detail.

Mexico will debut their stylish new home strip in a friendly match against Chile this upcoming weekend.
