Mexico 2001 Home Kit L Palencia (9/10)
The Millennium Transition
Moving away from the elaborate, heavily sublimated Aztec patterns of the 1990s, Mexico embraced a sleek, modern aesthetic for the turn of the century. This 2000 home kit by domestic brand Atlética features a bold, clean design complete with the number "17" on the front and back, representing a distinct, transitional, and highly nostalgic era for El Tri.
