Nike Launch Club América 2020/21 Jersey

With a design that honours the heritage of the Mexican side, Club América unveil their 2020/21 Nike away jersey to celebrate “a new decade of greatness”, with a fresh take on the iconic inverted triangle on the chest.

Greatness is forged with great victories over time. In the 1980s Club América took a step forward and consolidated the foundations of a legacy of glory. During that time, the Eagles jersey became large, iconic and imposing, and the union between the team and the fans gave way to a decade of greatness. Club América opened the decade of greatness of the 80s with a uniform that made history, ceasing to be “Los Cremas” to make way for the “Águilas del América”.

Nike honour that legacy on the Club América away jersey with the bold white and the iconic inverted triangle on the chest, closed by three ascending lines of blue, red and yellow; representing the mystique, passion and greatness of the Club. The neckline shows a white “V” finish, while on the back the phrase "El Más Grande" ("the biggest") is a nice nod to the fans and the scale of the club. The sleeves feature an integrated tape that surrounds and compresses the arms, allowing a perfect, streamlined fit. The Club crest is integrated into the design on the left side of the chest.

The jersey and shorts together are made with recycled polyester fabric, made from approximately 16 plastic bottles, continuing Nike’s battle against plastic waste.
