The Boca Juniors 16/17 home and away shirts feature Nike’s new AeroSwift fabric technology intended to increase moisture dispersion, reduce weight and support player movement. The home jersey is in Boca’s renowned dark blue / yellow chestband combination. The back of its rounded collar is also yellow. The new away kit is white with yellow and navy blue bands at its middle. It has a subtle v-neck with dark blue at the rear of its collar. Both kits have the team’s initials of “CABJ” on the back of their collars.
Boca Juniors will debut their 2016/17 Nike away kit when they travel to Ecuador to meet Independiente del Valle in the semi-finals of the 2016 Copa Libertadores on July 7.
