COPA has updated its Diego Maradona line with an ambitious collection of jerseys, jackets, tees, and sweatshirts that honor one of football’s singular figures.
For quite some time, our friends at COPA have been honoring the career and life of Diego Maradona through various officially licensed pieces. However, their latest drop is by far the biggest one yet.
It’s impossible to sum up a legend like Maradona through words. He was truly bigger than the game — a status that very few if any other footballers have managed to achieve — and his impact and influence on the sport and the world is immeasurable. You could write essays or books about Maradona and still come up short of capturing his entire essence.
Where words come up short, a visual representation of Maradona’s career can fill in the gaps. Whether in photos, videos, or in this case, jerseys and apparel, all it takes is one flash of the Argentine’s silhouette to evoke the emotions and memories from his otherworldly existence.
Previously, we’ve featured COPA’s debut Maradona collection, which tastefully captured iconic moments throughout his career, but this time, the Netherlands-based retro specialist has come up with its most ambitious tribute to Maradona yet — an officially licenced (no bootlegs here) line of jerseys, jackets, tees, and sweatshirts that represent the various stops Maradona made throughout his career, from Buenos Aires to Naples.
In our years covering COPA and its various releases, we’ve come to expect a few things. First, an attention to detail: from the subtlest design elements to the hues of the colors, these are accurate renditions of the vintage kits as originally worn by El Pibe de Oro himself. Second, is the quality. Priding itself on using the finest European factories, COPA has established a reputation for quality materials throughout all its products.
That certainly seems to be the case with the new Maradona collection, which is available now via the brand’s online shop, flagship store, and various global retail partners.
