Asociación Atlética Argentinos Juniors is an Argentine sports club based in La Paternal, Buenos Aires that competes in the Argentine Primera División. Founded on 15 August 1904, the club is celebrated for an exceptional youth system and a proud history on the continental stage, and signed football shirts from key eras appear regularly at Walkouts.
The club’s identity is tied to its neighbourhood ground and its development pathway. Home matches are played at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, and Argentinos Juniors earned continental recognition when they won the Copa Libertadores 1985 on their first entry to the competition. That run, and the graduates from the academy such as Diego Maradona, shape why club shirts carry strong provenance.
Collectors value both match-worn pieces and retail releases, yet fanshop shirts with player signatures remain in strong demand. Early-run retail issues, region-specific fan editions and player-issue variants each offer distinct traces of provenance, so signed fanshop shirts are often sought alongside framed match-worn shirts for display.
Anniversary releases are a natural focus for collectors. Commemorative shirts tied to club milestones are produced less frequently than modern seasonal kits, making them desirable when they mark major anniversaries or themed retrospectives connected to the club’s century-plus history.
Season and match magnets include shirts associated with the club’s 1985 continental campaign and the breakthrough domestic seasons that preceded it. Replicas and early retail runs from those years are pursued because they represent the era when Argentinos consolidated its national standing and achieved continental success, and they often show wear or inscription that links them to specific fixtures.
For away-kit specialists, classic alternate colourways worn on continental ties are especially collectible. Pieces described as the club’s away whites with red trim are tied in collectors’ minds to decisive continental fixtures and the run to the Copa Libertadores, and provenance that ties an away shirt to a knockout tie raises interest among serious fans.
Club-specific insights matter: Argentinos is widely known as the semillero del mundo because of its academy exports, so Maradona-era signatures and shirts with maker or sponsor details from those seasons carry cultural significance. Limited edition retail runs and player-issue variations from the early 1980s also surface with notable signatures and match provenance.
When sourcing signed shirts, buyers look for documentary cues and secure channels; listings often note authenticators or accompanying evidence. Walkouts lists authenticated pieces with attention to provenance, and many of the most requested items from the Centenary 2004 commemorations and the 1984 and 1985 seasons are offered with supporting paperwork, typically including a COA. Free worldwide shipping is available on select items.
