- Copa America. Lionel Messi misses a penalty kick but Argentina manages to beat Ecuador to advance to semifinals
Just when you thought Lionel Messicouldn't get any cooler, he goes and does something like this. Picture this: the Argentina national football team, fresh off their Copa America 2024 campaign, decked out in gear so stylish it makes the runway look like a catwalk for amateurs. That's right, Palm Angels has teamed up with Messi and company, and the results are nothing short of spectacular.
In a recently released video, the Argentina squad struts their stuff in a photoshoot that's causing quite a buzz. Palm Angels, known for their unique blend of high fashion and streetwear, have provided the team with both formal uniforms and leisurewear. This collaboration allows the players to express their shared values during official events and those much-needed relaxed moments alike.
Through social media, Palm Angels assured fans that this partnership is all about "emphasizing the importance of teamwork and strengthening individual identity within the group dynamic." And boy, do they nail it. Each player received two distinct looks, each more stylish than the last.
Elegance meets edge: Argentina's fashion fusion with Palm Angels
The formal ensemble is a masterpiece: a dark blue blazer with an embroidered monogram on the breast pocket and the AFA shield in gold, paired with a light blue shirt and cargo pants that boast large, utilitarian pockets. It's the kind of outfit that screams sophistication with a side of practicality - perfect for those post-match press conferences.
But it's the casual look that truly steals the show. Palm Angels delivers a typical tracksuit, but with a twist - it's designed in a special linen fabric and comes with an overshirt adorned with the brand's logo and the embroidered AFA shield. It's the kind of attire that says, "Yes, I just dominated on the pitch, but I can also dominate the style game."
And let's talk about Messi for a moment. The man has always had a quiet confidence about him, but in this gear, he's oozing charisma. Whether it's the formal blazer that highlights his leadership or the casual tracksuit that showcases his laid-back yet competitive nature, Messi looks every bit the global icon he is.
This collaboration is more than just a fashion statement; it's a celebration of the Argentina national football team's unity and individuality. Each player, from the seasoned veterans to the rising stars, is given the chance to shine in their own right, while still maintaining the cohesive spirit that defines this team.
