Aztec aesthetics on Club América's third kit A design inspired by the myth of "Caballero Águila" and dedicated to Memo Ochoa
The shirts that adidas, Umbro and then Nike have produced over the years for Club América are masterpieces. Every year there is more and more hype to see how far the creativity of the swoosh designers and the Mexican team can go. After a long wait, the third kit of the 2020-21 season has finally been launched: a white and black jersey, with white shorts and socks. The inspiration from which a wonderful pattern comes to life goes in two directions: the first is the shirt worn by Guillermo "Memo" Ochoa, historic goalkeeper for Águilas and the Mexican national team, in 2008; the second is of a cultural nature, referring to the figures of Atlantis in Tula which for years have inspired Aztec sculptors in the depiction of warriors.
Once again, Nike's designers amazed everyone with a one-of-a-kind design. After 12 years, the Mexican goalkeeper will be able to go back to wearing one of the shirts to which he is most romantically attached. The shirt is part of a collection that recalls this design in each of its items.
