And Bilardo (the coach during 1986 and 1990) was crazy superstitious.<br /><br />Argentina won the 1986 WC without losing any game while they were wearing a Le Coq Sportif kit, like you are showing in the 1986 section. Obviously, that version of the shorts didnt have the classic adidas 3 stripes. <br /><br />Then somewhere in between, Adidas took over, so in the 1990 WC premier against Cameroon, they used the adidas short as it was originally, with the stripes. <br /><br />The problem started when Argentina loses that game. Bilardo got to the conclusion that the reason for losing that game was.... the stripes on the shorts!. He thought "we were champions with a stripe-less black short in 1986, then we played with stripes and lost against Cameroon, so lets black out the stripes". Yes, it is as crazy as you read it. <br /><br />Funny thing is that I was looking for a source to back up my answer, I found this link (its from one of argentina's main newspapers) that is using your artwork to illustrate their article <br /><br /> https://www.pagina12.com.ar/93044-el-senor-de-las-cabalas-cuando-bilardo-estuvo-contra-las-treLichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668210072735156952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574775660287484379.post-90103249201551402382014-10-01T12:15:36.798-07:002014-10-01T12:15:36.798-07:00hello, does anyone know if Argentina 1990 Away Jer...hello, does anyone know if Argentina 1990 Away Jersey is available to buy in any site?
