Official adidas Colombia National Team Jerseys: Home & Away Kits

The now recognizable tri-color kit of Colombia has been in use since 1985. Colombia's best run in the World Cup came in 2014 when they were knocked-out in a controversial quarter final by Brazil.

Colombia: A Brief History of the Federation and Its Kit

The Colombian National team played their first official game at the 1938 Central American and Caribbean Games, winning the bronze medal. Later that same year they took part in the I Bolivarian Games where they finished fourth. For these two tournaments they wore a sky blue jersey, white shorts and white socks. Colombia did not play again until 1945, when they participated for the first time at the South American Championship, finishing in fifth place. Their kit was all white with a band of yellow, blue, and red to represent the national flag. Colombia's "Golden Era" was not to come until the 1990's, a decade in which they qualified for the 1990, 1994 and 1998 World Cup tournaments, but never made it past the group stage in the latter two. By then they had adopted the tri-color kit, yellow jersey, blue shorts and red socks. This earned the team the nickname La Tricolor (The Tri-Colors).

A Closer Look at the Colombia Jersey and Other Colombia Merchandise

Between 1938 to 1980 Colombia did not have an official kit supplier. Their kit has gone through many changes since their first match in 1938 in which they wore a sky blue jersey, white shorts and socks. In 1945, they changed to an all-white kit with a horizontal band of yellow, blue and red across the middle of the jersey. Between 1957 and 1971 they adopted a dark blue jersey with white shorts and dark blue socks. Between 1971 and 1985 they moved to an orange jersey and socks and briefly alternated between white and black shorts. 1985 saw Colombia first adopt the tri-color look that they are known for today. Originally a red jersey with yellow socks, they switched the color scheme in 1993 to the more recognizable yellow shirt and red socks.
