River Plate 97/98 Home

The adidas Club Atlético River Plate 1997–98 home shirt is one of the club’s most iconic designs, representing River during one of the most successful periods in its history.

Worn throughout the 1997 and 1998 seasons, the shirt featured River Plate’s traditional white base with the famous red diagonal sash, complemented by adidas’ classic late-90s styling. The elegant design stayed true to River’s identity and became closely associated with a generation of legendary players.

Managed by Ramón Díaz, the squad featured stars including Enzo Francescoli, Marcelo Salas, Ariel Ortega, Juan Sebastián Verón, and Hernán Crespo.
