For the first time, through the sky-blue stripes of the shirt, there is a reflective visual effect simulating a Argentinean flag on top of a pole, waving in the wind.  </span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGIjM8VEs8v1WdXbsIeJofQKOKoQ32GhnktSyhdf2RcRYtEYo4mluynINxr5hW5bgdkmjIvJHul8DUop2f3GKrWAKO2Sh5wZsgQn8tRfFNSsoxWFFWwyHD4frQgjprrNBpKTR_jJqCJU0/s1600/argentina-world-cup-2014-home-jersey-c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGIjM8VEs8v1WdXbsIeJofQKOKoQ32GhnktSyhdf2RcRYtEYo4mluynINxr5hW5bgdkmjIvJHul8DUop2f3GKrWAKO2Sh5wZsgQn8tRfFNSsoxWFFWwyHD4frQgjprrNBpKTR_jJqCJU0/s640/argentina-world-cup-2014-home-jersey-c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> The crest also shows an evolution in this new design.
