I certainly don’t care for the 3rd kit, but I doubt we’ll see it much. I agree with Gonzalo that it’s nice to see the black kit with the red stripe again.

My personal favorite? A toss up between the Quilmes, or the long sleeve kit that had no advertising, just the banda across. Classic.

The last few kits have actually bothered me. I never liked that the red band never quite made it up to the shoulder and never quite made down to the bottom in certain iterations.

The changes are subtle, but still make a big difference. I’ve never seen such a beautiful shirt and the design balances the elements very well. And I also can’t complain about the addition on the back of the neck, “El Mas Grande.” The black version is a great 3rd shirt, but I wonder if they are going to be debuting the away jersey with the vertical stripes? I hated the old 3rd jersey with the swooshing white and red shapes.

We’ve got Velez away this weekend. Tough match and a lot on the line. Simeone’s boy will be judged harshly if they don’t get the result.

Yeah, I always loved River’s black kits with the red diagonal stripe, so I am glad to see it back.

As for the third kit, I haven’t seen any official confirmation, but some sites indicate that they third jersey would be a plain purple one!?! :O We’ll see what happens with that.

I’m usually not a big fan of black kits, but the away one is pretty nice. It’s a good simple design, and its good they’re not messing with it too much.
