Shirts of this era were cut boxy: expect the chest to measure at or above the top of the band for its size. Compare pit-to-pit with a shirt you own rather than trusting the label.

How to measure

Lay the shirt flat and measure pit to pit (armpit to armpit) and collar to hem, then compare with the table. Between sizes, take the larger. Measurements are in centimetres, with 1–2 cm variation between pieces.

About this shirt

The Argentina away shirt from 2002. Sizes S-XXL.

Away shirts change more between seasons than home shirts do, since the home design is constrained by the club's traditional colours and the away one largely is not.

We also hold the away shirt from 2001, 2000/01 and 2005/06.

Argentina in 2002

The 2002 group-stage exit — favourites eliminated in the first round after defeat to England and a draw with Sweden: the shock that ended the Bielsa cycle and Batistuta’s international career.

Argentina in the archive

Home, away, goalkeeper, kids kits, women’s fit and training wear, with both standard and player-version cuts. Every listing states the season and the number of stars above the crest matters, so check the year. Sky blue and white vertical stripes — the albiceleste — worn essentially unchanged for over a century. The away shirt is where the variation happens, and it has ranged from dark blue to black to purple depending on the cycle. Three World Cups and fifteen Copa América titles. One detail matters more than any other when buying an Argentina shirt: the stars above the crest count World Cup wins, so a shirt made from 2023 onwards carries three, while anything from before the 2022 final carries two. That distinction separates a tournament shirt from the version sold afterwards. Our range runs from 1978 to the current 2026 kits, with a substantial retro block, plus goalkeeper shirts, kids kits, women’s fit, training wear and shorts. A large share of the range is player-version cut, which is stated in the listing title.

Printing, delivery and returns

Name and number printing is free on this shirt. For a shirt of this season that means the lettering of the period, not a modern typeface — a 1996 England shirt takes the block of that summer, a late-nineties Serie A shirt the league numerals it was designed around. We hold period sets as well as current league and tournament fonts. Choose a squad player and the number is applied as issued, or send any name and number you want. Printing adds one to two working days before dispatch, and printed shirts cannot be returned unless faulty — if unsure of the size, order it plain and we print it afterwards for the same price. Full detail on the printing page.

Tracked as standard, everywhere — packed flat between card, never folded into a bag. Allow 7–14 days from order to delivery.

Service	Time	Cost
Standard tracked	7–14 days	£3.95
Orders over £30	7–14 days	Free

The same rate applies to every country: free over £30, otherwise £3.95, tracked, in the same 7–14 days. Orders outside the UK may attract import duty on arrival, which is the customer’s responsibility. Full tables on the shipping page.

30 days from delivery to change your mind — longer than the 14-day statutory minimum. Email hello@shirt-archive.com with your order number before posting anything back; send it unworn with tags attached, and the refund goes to the original payment method within five working days of arrival. If we sent the wrong thing, postage is on us both ways. Full policy on the returns page.

Common questions

Which season is this Argentina away shirt from?

This is the 2002 away shirt. The season is stated on every listing and on the order confirmation, so what arrives is the season named here, not a current substitute.

What size should I order?

Sizes run S-XXL. Measure pit to pit on a shirt you own and compare it with the chart above — between sizes, take the larger.

Can I get a name and number printed on it?

Yes — free, applied before dispatch, which adds one to two working days. Printed shirts cannot be returned unless faulty, so if you are unsure of the size, order plain and we print it afterwards for the same price.

How quickly will it arrive?

Allow 7–14 days from order to delivery, everywhere. Standard tracked is £3.95, and orders over £30 ship free to every country. Everything is tracked, including international.

Is this the exact design worn in 2002?

Yes — this listing is the 2002 away design specifically, not a current shirt standing in for it. If we hold the same design in other cuts they are listed separately.

Will a retro shirt fit like a modern one?

No — shirts of this era were cut looser. A nineties Large sits closer to a modern Medium, which is why the flat measurements above matter more than the size on the label.
