River Plate Away Shirt 2005-2006

River Plate's retro vintage away shirt for the 2005-2006 season stands out with its striking and original aesthetic. Designed by Adidas, it abandons the traditional diagonal stripe in favor of a vertical stripe design combining burgundy, white, and black. This bold combination gives the shirt a strong visual identity, perfectly representing the innovative style adopted by the club in the mid-2000s. The Budweiser sponsorship, emblematic of the era, further reinforces its iconic status.

• Alternating vertical stripes of burgundy, white and black

• Adidas logo embroidered in white on the right chest

• The Budweiser sponsor logo in white is very representative of the 2000s aesthetic.

History and heritage

The 2005-2006 season was marked by a River Plate in transition, but still carried by major talents of Argentine football. Under the management of Reinaldo Merlo and then Daniel Passarella, the club saw the emergence or consolidation of players like Marcelo Gallardo, Gonzalo Higuaín, Radamel Falcao, Ernesto Farías, and Lucho González. This away jersey, with its atypical design, symbolizes this phase of renewal where the club experimented with new visual identities.
