San Lorenzo

Club Atletico San Lorenzo de Almagro are Buenos Aires' most spiritually and culturally connected football club, a side whose Copa Libertadores victory in 2014 was celebrated by Pope Francis himself, a lifelong San Lorenzo supporter. The red and blue vertical stripes of El Ciclon (The Cyclone) are among Argentine football's most storied colours, and the club's long history of domestic and South American success makes them one of the continent's most cherished clubs.

Founded in 1908 and based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the club play at the Estadio Pedro Bidegain. Their honours include multiple Argentine Primera Division titles and 1 Copa Libertadores (2014). Nicknamed El Ciclon (The Cyclone) and the Cuervos (The Crows) for their blue and red vertical stripes.

The red and blue vertical stripes are San Lorenzo's most enduring look, a bold combination that has been the club's visual identity for most of their history. The classic striped shirt of various eras carries enormous cultural weight in Buenos Aires, and the kit worn during the historic 2014 Copa Libertadores-winning campaign, when the club dedicated their triumph to Pope Francis, is among the most emotionally significant shirts in Argentine football history. San Lorenzo kits from different eras, supplied by manufacturers including Adidas and Le Coq Sportif, are cherished by collectors of Argentine and South American football.
