Product Stats
- The 1996-97 period belongs to an important stage in Boca Juniors’ modern identity, with the club building toward a new cycle of domestic and continental prominence. Juan Román Riquelme emerged from Boca’s system during this era and became one of the defining creative midfielders in the club’s history. The #8 Roman shirt connects directly to the early stage of that La Bombonera story.
- The design reflects 90s Argentine club aesthetics through a clean white away base, bold sponsor placement, and strong blue-and-yellow banding across the chest. The fold-over collar, sleeve trim, and oversized back number give the shirt a period-correct football silhouette. The additional Xeneizes wording on the back reinforces Boca’s club identity beyond the front crest alone.
- As a collectible item, this shirt stands out because it links Boca’s classic color language with Riquelme’s early player identity. Roman-linked Boca shirts carry strong cultural weight because of his later status as one of the club’s most important figures. The combination of #8 printing, Quilmes sponsor, and 90s away design makes it a strong collector piece from Argentine football history.

Description
This Boca Juniors 1996-97 away shirt features a clean white base with the club’s iconic blue chest band framed by yellow trim, creating a reverse take on Boca’s traditional color identity. The front includes the Boca Juniors crest, Quilmes sponsor, blue fold-over collar, sleeve trim, and vintage hem label detail, while the back carries the Quilmes script, oversized #8 number, Roman name print, and Xeneizes wording near the lower back. The design balances a simple white body with bold club-color blocking, giving the shirt a distinctly mid-90s Argentine football look. Compared with a standard blank away shirt, the Roman #8 identity and full back graphic layout give this piece stronger historical character and collector appeal.
