Mexico Soccer Jerseys

Mexico is one of the great soccer nations in North America and the wider CONCACAF region. Liga MX regularly ranks among the most-viewed leagues on the continent, fueled by fierce rivalries, passionate supporter cultures and a rich footballing tradition that dates back over a century. El Tri — the Mexico national team — has qualified for every FIFA World Cup since 1994 and carries the weight of a nation every time they take the pitch. Whether you follow a specific Liga MX club or support the green of the national team, this is your starting point for finding the right jersey.

Soccer in Mexico: A Rich and Passionate Tradition

Organized soccer in Mexico stretches back to the early twentieth century, with the national football federation founded in 1927. The game grew rapidly alongside the country's urban expansion, and by the mid-twentieth century it had become the nation's dominant sport. Mexico hosted the FIFA World Cup on two occasions — in 1970 and again in 1986 — and the latter tournament produced some of the most memorable moments in the sport's history, including Diego Maradona's famous performances at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.

The Estadio Azteca remains one of the largest and most storied soccer venues in the world, regularly serving as the home ground for El Tri and hosting major Liga MX fixtures. Its atmosphere on a packed matchday is considered a bucket-list experience for soccer fans. That stadium, and the culture surrounding it, is a direct expression of how deeply the sport is embedded in Mexican identity — from street games in the barrios to prime-time broadcasts watched by millions across both Mexico and the United States.

Liga MX: Mexico's Premier Club Competition

Liga MX is the top tier of Mexican club soccer and consistently ranks as one of the most-watched soccer leagues in North America by television audience. The competition operates on the unusual Apertura and Clausura format: two separate tournaments per calendar year, each with its own champion. That structure gives every season a fresh start and keeps competition intense from the opening matchday. The playoff format — known as the Liguilla — typically involves the top clubs from each conference battling through knockout rounds to determine the champion.

Club rivalries in Liga MX run deep and are fiercely local. The Clásico Nacional between Club América and Chivas Guadalajara is arguably the biggest fixture in Mexican soccer, drawing huge viewership figures whenever the two sides meet. The Clásico Capitalino between América and Pumas UNAM stirs passions in Mexico City, while the northern derby between Monterrey and Tigres UANL generates some of the loudest atmospheres in the league. These rivalries give Liga MX kits an emotional significance that goes well beyond sportswear — wearing your club's jersey is a statement of identity and belonging.

Major Liga MX Clubs and Their Iconic Colours

Club América play in gold (or yellow) and navy, making their jersey one of the most recognisable in the Americas. Founded in 1916, they are historically the most decorated club in Mexican soccer and boast a supporter base that extends well into the United States. Their kits are always in high demand on Amazon, particularly around the start of each Apertura season.

Chivas de Guadalajara — formally Club Deportivo Guadalajara — wear their famous red and white vertical stripes, a look as iconic in Mexican soccer as any kit in the sport worldwide. Chivas have a unique policy of fielding only Mexican-born players, which gives the club a special patriotic resonance. Their jersey is often the first choice for fans who want to combine club allegiance with national pride.

Cruz Azul are instantly identifiable in their deep sky-blue kits. Based in Mexico City and with a long history of Liga MX success, Cruz Azul jerseys are popular both domestically and among the large Mexican diaspora in the United States. Pumas UNAM, representing the National Autonomous University of Mexico, play in gold and navy blue and draw a passionate student and alumni following from across the capital. In the north, Monterrey wear blue and white stripes, while city rivals Tigres UANL are known for their vibrant gold and blue — a colour combination that has become closely associated with the cosmopolitan ambitions of the Nuevo León capital.

The Mexico National Team: El Tri

El Tri — a nickname derived from the tricolour of the Mexican flag — is among the most recognisable national teams in world soccer. The men's side has been a consistent presence at the FIFA World Cup, famously reaching the round of sixteen in seven consecutive editions of the tournament between 1994 and 2018. The national team typically competes under the banner of the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol (FMF), and their jerseys are produced by Adidas, making them widely available through major retailers including Amazon.

The home kit is the iconic dark green — a shade that has become so synonymous with Mexican soccer that it needs no explanation to fans anywhere in the world. The away jersey is traditionally white, and a red third option occasionally appears as a nod to the full Mexican flag palette of green, white and red. Retro editions of the national team jersey are also popular, with kits recalling tournament appearances in the 1970s, 1986 and the 1990s available through specialist sellers on Amazon.

Mexico is also a significant force in women's soccer, with the women's national team (El Tri Femenil) competing in CONCACAF competitions and qualifying for several FIFA Women's World Cup tournaments. Women's and girls' versions of the national team jersey are typically available alongside the men's equivalent.

Mexico Soccer Jersey Buying Guide

Mexican soccer jerseys follow the same structure as clubs worldwide: a primary home jersey, a contrasting away jersey, occasional third and special-edition kits, plus kids sizes and retro designs. Liga MX clubs are known for bold, distinctive looks — Club América’s gold and navy, the blue and white of Cruz Azul, and the iconic red and white stripes of Chivas are instantly recognizable across North America and beyond.

The Mexico national team jersey is one of the most collected in the world, with the traditional home green remaining a favourite across generations of fans. When shopping on Amazon, confirm the season and whether a listing is authentic or replica, and check the size chart before ordering. Our sizing guide and authentic vs replica guide can help you choose with confidence. For younger fans, see our kids soccer jerseys page.

Liga MX operates on an Apertura (summer–autumn) and Clausura (winter–spring) format, meaning clubs sometimes release updated kits mid-year. It’s worth checking that a listing corresponds to the current or most recent season before you buy.

Authentic vs Replica: What to Look For

For Liga MX and national team jerseys alike, you will typically find two tiers on Amazon: the authentic (player issue or match) version and the replica (fan) version. Authentic jerseys use lightweight performance fabrics with moisture-management technology and are cut closer to the body for on-pitch movement. Replica jerseys use a slightly heavier, more relaxed fabric and are priced more accessibly. Both carry official club or FMF licensing and feature the same badge and sponsor embroidery. If you plan to wear the jersey for casual everyday use or as fan gear, a replica is usually the right call. If you want the closest possible match to what you see on the pitch, go authentic. Our authentic vs replica guide walks through the differences in detail.

Getting the Right Size

Adidas (who kit El Tri) and the various kit manufacturers used by Liga MX clubs typically size their jerseys to European or international standards, which can run narrower than US sizing. It is generally advisable to go one size up if you plan to wear the jersey over a base layer or prefer a relaxed fit. Always consult the individual Amazon listing's size chart, as sizing can vary between manufacturers and between adult and youth ranges.
