Peru national football team kits
Kit evolution
[edit]
Peru's first kit, made for the 1927 South American Championship, comprised a white-and-red striped shirt, white shorts and black socks. According to sports historian Jaime Pulgar-Vidal Otalora, this kit and that worn by Alianza Lima at the time were influenced by the jockey uniforms used in Peruvian President Augusto B. Leguia's stables. The two outfits were identical except Alianza's had blue stripes instead of red. Pulgar-Vidal Otalora suggests that Leguia might have been directly involved in the 1927 uniform's design, citing the fact that different kits were adopted after his overthrow in 1932.[1]
Peru were compelled to use an alternative design in the 1930 World Cup because Paraguay had already registered a kit with white-and-red striped shirts. The Peruvians instead wore white shirts with a red collar, white shorts and black socks.[1]
For the 1935 South American Championship, a horizontal red stripe was added to the shirt.[2]
The following year, at the Berlin Olympics, the team adopted the red sash design it has retained ever since.[2] According to Pulgar-Vidal Otalora, the idea for the diagonal red stripe came from River Plate (a football team from Argentina).[3] More specific alterations
