San Lorenzo de Almagro debuts its new third jersey borravino, a tribute to the club's origins, ahead of facing Unión de Santa Fe at Nuevo Gasómetro. The jersey, inspired by the first jerseys in the club's history, will go on sale this Friday and will be a limited edition.
The story behind San Lorenzo's new jersey goes back to the corner of Mexico and 33 Orientales, when Boedo was still part of the Almagro neighborhood and a group of kids found football as a meeting point. It was there where Father Lorenzo Massa appeared, who opened the doors of the San Antonio oratory and received them to keep them away from the dangers of the street.
Football ended up uniting them and giving rise to a history that would cross generations. But there was a problem: they didn't have money to buy jerseys. Then the Monti brothers and their family appeared, who made it possible for those kids to have their first jerseys. They were borravino.
That's the concept of this third kit: a tribute to those first jerseys and the origins of Los Forzosos de Almagro, the name that identified that group before San Lorenzo's history took its definitive form.
The jersey is predominantly borravino, with a design that seeks to recover that identity of the club's early years. It has a polo-style collar, while in the shoulder and sleeve areas there are details in blue and white.
One of the most particular details is the shield. Above it appears a circular badge that recovers the traditional esthetic of San Lorenzo and carries the inscription "Los Forzosos de Almagro" along with the year 1907.
The idea is that the jersey not only represents an alternative to the traditional blue and green and the second kit, but also functions as a piece directly linked to the history of the Cyclone.
San Lorenzo's new third jersey will be available from this Friday, August 14, at 10:00 a.m. The sale will be made online through the official page of Atomic and will also be available in the club's official stores.
It's a limited edition, so it will have a limited availability.
The debut will come at a particular moment for San Lorenzo. The team of Gorosito has just received a hard blow against Huracán and needs to recover quickly in the Clausura Tournament.
This Saturday, from 14:30, they will play again at Nuevo Gasómetro against Unión de Santa Fe. And they will do it with a jersey that looks back to remember the club's origins, but that will seek to accompany the team in a present that needs, more than ever, a new story to tell.
