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.

Team: Mexico National Team

Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition

Antiquity: 26 years

Manufacturer: Atlética

Size: L

Design: A vibrant green base with a textured, ribbed fabric, striking white shoulder panels, and a crisp white polo collar. It sports the number "17" prominently on the chest and back, flanked by the Federation crest and the Atlética logo. The sleeves are finished with a vibrant red, white, and green tricolor trim, and "México" is printed at the lower back hem.

Significance: This kit was the armor for Mexico during the early 2000s, covering crucial World Cup qualifiers and regional tournaments. Outfitted by a proud Mexican brand, it holds a special place in collectors' hearts as a bridge between the wild, artistic 90s designs and the highly standardized modern era.
