Boca Juniors 96/97 Away

The Olan Boca Juniors 1996–97 away shirt is a cult classic, remembered for its clean white design and timeless styling during the final years before Nike became the club’s kit manufacturer.

Worn throughout the 1996–97 season, the shirt featured a crisp white base with navy and gold detailing, complemented by the iconic Quilmes sponsor across the chest. The simple design, traditional club colours, and classic fit made it one of Boca’s most elegant away shirts of the 1990s.

Managed by Carlos Bilardo, the squad featured standout players including Diego Maradona, Claudio Caniggia, Néstor Fabbri, Óscar Córdoba, and Juan Sebastián Verón.

Although the club did not win major honours during the campaign, the season remains memorable as one of the last to feature Diego Maradona in Boca colours before the arrival of a new golden era under Carlos Bianchi.

Today, the 1996–97 away shirt is regarded as a sought-after retro classic. Its minimalist white colourway, iconic Quilmes sponsorship, and connection to Maradona’s final years at Boca have made it a favourite among collectors.

More than just a shirt, it represents heritage, passion, and the closing chapter of a football icon’s remarkable career.
