argentina - 1988 - Football jersey

Splendid and rare textile collectible piece: official long-sleeve jersey of the Argentina National Team, 1988 season, produced by Le Coq Sportif.

Construction Details: The ribbed elastic collar, the fabric texture, and the symmetrical arrangement of light-blue-white vertical bands perfectly meet the industrial standards of the Le Coq Sportif brand from the late 1980s. The AFA crest and the Le Coq Sportif logo can be viewed in detail in the attached macro shots.

Label: Present on the collar is the original vintage acetate tag, which shows the natural and correct fraying due to time and storage over decades.

Structural Analysis of Number 10: The back number is applied in the classic heavyweight vintage flock. Owing to the years and natural aging of the materials, the application shows proper and characteristic historical wear: the original flocking is partially preserved in some areas, while in others it appears smooth with the polymer base visible, hardened and firm to the touch. As documented by the macro photos of the reverse inner side, the number shows the correct and partial chemical migration of the glue and pigment into the yarn. This conservation state constitutes objective proof of antiquity and authenticity of the era materials.

CONDITIONS OF SALE: The item comes from a private collection and is sold in the vintage condition as is with the phrase "As Is"; the attached macro images constitute an integral and primary part of the description.

Being a historic relic with almost forty years of life, the structural consistency of the rear flock, the smooth areas, and the state of the textile components have been photographed in high resolution. By submitting a bid, the buyer declares having fully viewed the photo gallery and the described structural features, accepting the item without reservation and waiving any subsequent disputes or requests for return regarding the condition and wear of the back number.
