The Argentinos Juniors 1980 Home Retro Football Shirt celebrates one of the most remarkable seasons in the club’s early professional history. Inspired by a brilliant young Diego Maradona, Argentinos finished runners-up to River Plate in the Metropolitano before progressing to the semi-finals of the Campeonato Nacional. Maradona dominated both competitions individually, scoring 25 goals to finish as the Metropolitano’s leading scorer and another 17 to top the scoring charts in the Nacional.
The season produced several memorable Maradona performances, including a famous 2–0 victory over River Plate at the Monumental in which he scored both goals. The No.10 shirt is therefore the definitive printing choice for this design, representing Maradona during the final full year of his extraordinary first spell with the club before his move to Boca Juniors in 1981.
The shirt is instantly recognisable for its clean red body and contrasting white details, including a traditional crew neck and white trim that capture the understated character of early-1980s Argentine football. Documented match versions also feature the distinctive Austral chest branding, an important detail from the formative years of commercial shirt sponsorship in Argentine football. Combined with the iconic white No.10 on the back, the minimalist red design has become inseparably associated with Maradona’s spectacular 1980 campaign at Argentinos Juniors.

Best Printing Choice: 10 (Diego Maradona)
We recommend No.10 (Diego Maradona) as the definitive printing choice for the Argentinos Juniors 1980 Home Retro Football Shirt. Maradona produced one of the most extraordinary seasons of his early career in 1980, scoring 25 goals to finish as the Metropolitano’s leading scorer before adding another 17 to top the scoring charts in the Campeonato Nacional. His performances inspired Argentinos Juniors to a runners-up finish in the Metropolitano and a place in the Nacional semi-finals.
No.10 is also firmly supported by period match evidence. Maradona wore the number during the 1980 campaign, including the famous 2–0 victory away to River Plate in which he scored both Argentinos Juniors goals. Combining outstanding season performance, historical authenticity and the unmistakable association between Maradona and the No.10 shirt, this is the definitive collector choice for the 1980 home design.
