Platense

Club Atletico Platense are one of Argentina's most distinctive football clubs, a working-class institution from the Vicente Lopez suburb of Buenos Aires nicknamed El Calamar (The Squid) for their blue and white vertical stripes that have been a feature of Argentine football for over a century. Founded in 1905, Platense spent decades in the Primera Division before suffering relegation and working their way back to Argentina's top flight, finally returning in 2021 after years in the Nacional B. Their passionate fanbase from the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires has never stopped believing. Founded in 1905, Club Atletico Platense play at the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente Lopez in Vicente Lopez, Buenos Aires, Argentina. They compete in the Primera Division. Key achievements include multiple Primera Division campaigns and their return to the top flight in 2021. Nicknamed El Calamar (The Squid), they wear blue and white vertical stripes. Platense's blue and white vertical striped kits are one of Argentine football's most recognisable designs, carrying the identity of a working-class Buenos Aires suburb across more than a century of football. The shirts from their top-flight years in the Primera Division are treasured pieces for fans who understand the pride behind the Calamar badge. The return to the Primera Division in 2021 brought new kits that reconnected a new generation with the blue and white stripes that have always defined this proud Buenos Aires club.
