About

Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro, based in the Boedo neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, play in the Primera División and were founded on 1 April 1908. Walkouts lists a curated selection of signed football shirts and framed pieces that reference the club’s long history, from the Viejo Gasómetro era to the current supporter culture.

San Lorenzo is one of Argentina’s most recognised institutions, often counted among the country’s Big Five, and its home matches are staged at Estadio Pedro Bidegain, popularly known as Nuevo Gasómetro in Bajo Flores. The club maintains several locations across the city and on the Atlantic coast, and its identity is closely tied to Boedo, the old stadium site and local community projects that followed the sale of the Viejo Gasómetro.

Internationally the club reached a peak with the 2014 Copa Libertadores campaign, a milestone that reshaped collector demand for shirts and match artefacts from that season. That continental title is a frequent provenance note for signed items, and official late-run replicas from the campaign are particularly sought after by fans and collectors who follow South American football history.

Anniversary releases also carry strong provenance value, notably the club centenary items released in 2008, which featured commemorative crests and alternate trims tied to Boedo heritage. Those post-1970 anniversary shirts are tracked by collectors because they mark institutional milestones and often include limited print runs and special packaging that distinguish them from regular retail shirts.

Season and match magnets include the 2013-14 Torneo Inicial title-winning run and the 2014 Libertadores campaign, both seasons that produced high-demand shirts and player signatures. The 2014 away kit, a white away shirt used in decisive continental ties, is singled out by many collectors because of its association with knockout wins and final-stage fixtures documented in club photography and media.

Signed retail demand is not limited to match-worn items; fanshop shirts, early retail runs, and player-issue variants are explicitly collected, with many examples carrying a COA or similar provenance note. Walkouts offers framed and signed retail shirts alongside occasional player-issue variants, with Free worldwide shipping available on selected pieces and clear notes on provenance where supplied.

Collectors favour provenance tied to local fixtures and named derbies, such as the Clásico Porteño against Huracán and recorded matches when players honoured Pope Francis, notably the Colón match in March 2013. Provenance that references the 2013-14 Torneo Inicial and the 2014 Copa Libertadores season helps distinguish items, so seek explicit match or season tags when comparing signed shirts on the market; Walkouts lists examples with accompanying photo and match context where available.

Honours

San Lorenzo's honours cabinet reflects its status among Argentina's Big Five, with national league success and continental glory. On the domestic front, the club captured the 2013-14 Torneo Inicial, underlining its top-flight pedigree in the Primera Division. The pinnacle came in South America with the club's breakthrough in the Copa Libertadores, secured in 2014, a landmark that resonated far beyond Buenos Aires. That campaign ended with the team lifting the trophy after a hard-fought final, sealing the first Libertadores crown in club history. The achievement reinforced the aura surrounding matchdays at Estadio Pedro Bidegain, where knockout nights have become part of club folklore. Recognition has also come from global metrics, with an IFFHS ranking of 146 underscoring consistent performance levels.

Stadium

Estadio Pedro Bidegain, widely known as Nuevo Gasometro, is the modern home of San Lorenzo and a defining landmark of the Bajo Flores neighbourhood. The ground's dual identity reflects the club's deep roots, with memories of the old Viejo Gasometro in Boedo still woven into matchday rituals and banners. Home fixtures draw a passionate following, with blue and red colours filling the stands and a soundtrack that builds long before kick-off. The derby with Huracan adds a distinctive edge, and nights against traditional rivals are renowned for their intensity. Beyond football, the venue anchors training and wider club activity, giving San Lorenzo a consolidated base while plans progress elsewhere in the city. Supporters and visitors alike know it simply as the Nuevo Gasometro, but the official name, Estadio Pedro Bidegain, carries equal weight.
