Indeed, Adidas will put on sale both the starting shirt and the purple alternative that was used this World Cup in all its official stores. The changes will be two, the first is the shield of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), which will have three stars, just above the two already existing. They refer to the world cups obtained in Argentina 1978 and Mexico 1986 and the last one in Qatar 2022.

National Team shirt with 3 stars: it’s already on sale
Selection T-shirt: the “invigorated” Adidas that causes outrage
Now, the strategy that Adidas chose to have the “new” shirt as soon as possible and when it found itself out of stock and with so much demand, was to have the third star embroidered above the previous two.
The current two-star jersey, which costs $17,000, is already listed on the official Adidas web store as Sold Out. While it is anticipated that the value of the new t-shirt will be $22,999.
In this way, with a difference of $6,000, the “new model” is nothing more than a replica of the previous one with the addition of the embroidery of the third star above the other two, and the patch. However, many fans who recently purchased the two-star jersey are currently not allowed to embroider the third star with the patch and simply pay the difference, but instead They will have to pay almost $23,000 to have the new one, which is almost identical to the one they already have.
The pre-sale of the Argentina shirt is sold out
adidas launched this week the advance sale of a white shirt, with the three strips with the Argentine colors, the shield of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and the brand new three golden starsin reference to the conquests of the World Cups in Argentina 78, Mexico 86 and Qatar 2022. The garment, with a value of 17,999 pesos in pre-sale, sold out quickly because of the furor generated in the population by the good walking of the Scaloneta.
This particular T-shirt was one of the first with the three stars used by footballers and the members of the official delegation after winning the World Cup: on the flight back to Argentina they all wore this garment.
Prior to last Sunday’s final at the Lusail Stadium, Adidas had acknowledged that faced a global shortage of the products of the Argentine National Team due to the extraordinary demand. The German sportswear maker said high demand for kits from Argentina and imitations making their way into various local markets has led them to explore plans to ramp up production ahead of what could be a massive celebration.
