[ 21 ] other authoritative founders members include Arturo Penney, Marcelino Vergara, Luis Cerezo, Adolfo Taggio, Giovanelli, Donato Abbatángelo, Bertolini. In 1913, Boca promoted to Primera División after some former failed attempts. This was potential when the Argentine Association decided to increase the count of teams in the league from 6 to 15.

According to the club ‘s official site, the master new jersey color was a white shirt with thin black vertical stripes, being then replaced by a inner light blasphemous shirt and then another striped jersey before adopting the definitive blue and gold. [ 23 ] Nevertheless, another translation states that Boca Juniors ‘ first jersey was pink, although it has been questioned by some journalists and historians who state that Boca, most probably, never wore a pink jersey, by pointing out the miss of any solid evidence and how this version stems from, and is lone supported on, flawed testimonies. [ 24 ] Legend has it that in 1906, Boca played Nottingham de Almagro. Both teams wore such similar shirts that the meet was played to decide which team would get to keep it. Boca lost, and decided to adopt the colors of the flag of the first boat to sail into the larboard at La Boca. This proved to be a swedish ship, therefore the yellow and blue of the swedish flag were adopted as the new team colors. [ 25 ] The first interpretation had a yellow solidus ring, which was subsequently changed to a horizontal chevron. [ 23 ] Through Boca Juniors history, the club has worn some alternate “ rare ” models, such as the AC Milan shirt in a match versus Universidad de Chile ( whose consistent was besides gloomy ) in the 1963 Copa Libertadores.

[ 27 ] [ 28 ] The brand besides introduced a silver jersey designed entirely for the 1998 Copa Mercosur. For the hundredth anniversary of the club, Nike launched commemorative editions of several models worn by the clubhouse since its basis, including a version of the 1907 shirt with the diagonal sash, which was worn in two matches during the 2005 Torneo de Verano ( Summer Championship ). [ 29 ] other models were a black and white striped jersey ( alike to Juventus FC ) [ 30 ] and a empurpled model, [ 31 ] worn in the 2012 and 2013 “ Torneos de Verano, ” respectively. however, no shirt caused more controversy than the pink model released as the away jersey for the 2013–14 season, which was widely rejected by the fans. [ 32 ] Because of that, the introduction of this model ( to be initially careworn v. Rosario Central ) was delayed until the last regular when Boca played Gimnasia y Esgrima ( LP ). [ 33 ] [ 34 ] As a substitute for the pink model, Nike designed a fluorescent yellow shirt launched that lapp temper. [ 35 ] [ 36 ] In 2016, the cabaret wore a black jersey for the first time in its history, primitively launched as the third kit. [ 37 ] Although the President of the golf club, Daniel Angelici, had stated that the black kit would never be worn, [ 38 ] the kit debuted in a match five. Tigre, only four days after the announcement. [ 39 ] Adidas is the club ‘s stream kit supplier since January 2020.
