Independiente's Buttoned-Up Retro Kit Is A Thing Of Beauty

It may look like something you'd wear if you were in a bowling team but Argentine outfit Independiente have gone big with their retro kit.

The Puma-created shirt is inspired by the club's 1948 side which won the league for the third time. 70 years on, the design has been brought back and it's fair to say it's a bit beautiful.

It comes with a collar that we haven't seen on football shirts for ages, as well as buttons up and down the top.

While it's not exactly a modern-type kit, fans have been swooning over it on social media:

The bouncers wouldn't be able to turn you away if you turned up wearing that bad boy!

There's no much word on when/where it will be available to purchase as of yet, we do know that Independiente will be wearing it for their next game, a home fixture against Defensa y Justicia.
