Suggested meta description: The stories behind rare, original jerseys from Argentine and Uruguayan clubs available now in the Garrincha Shirts collection — match worn pieces, commemorative editions, and more.
South American football outside the big-name clubs is where the hardest stories to tell live — and the hardest shirts to find. We've pulled together pieces in our collection that were tracked down the hard way: in the stadium, from former players, or kept safe for decades. Here's what's available now, with a bit of history behind each club.
Argentina
River Plate · 75th Anniversary of the Monumental · Adidas
The Monumental de Núñez — River's home ground — opened on May 25, 1938, with a friendly against Uruguay's Peñarol that River won 3-1. It's where Argentina won its first World Cup, in 1978. And the nickname "Millonarios," which stuck to the club for good, came from a jaw-droppingly expensive transfer for the era, back in the 1930s. This shirt celebrates the stadium's 75th anniversary and is in excellent condition.

River Plate · 2024/25 Home · Authentic
The Millonario's current shirt, Adidas Player Issue version — for anyone who wants today's River, not just the archive version.

Lanús · 2025 Home · Umbro · Copa Sudamericana Back-to-Back Champions
Founded in 1915 in a working-class neighborhood south of Buenos Aires, Lanús — "El Granate" — has always lived in the financial shadow of River and Boca: its squad is worth roughly 40% of what either giant's roster is valued at today. Even so, since lifting its first Sudamericana in 2013, the club has reached a Libertadores final (2017, against Grêmio) and won the continental title twice in a row. This is the original home shirt from that back-to-back championship season.

Lanús · 2025 Away · Umbro · White
The away version from the same historic season — a great pickup if you already have the home shirt and want to complete the pair.

Temperley · 2015 Special Edition · Player #11 di Lorenzo
The nickname "Gasoleros" (roughly, "the frugal ones") was born in 1975, when Temperley put together a surprise run "spending little and going far." But the club's biggest story is 1989 to 1991: bankrupt, Temperley only came back because five fan families put up their own homes as collateral to reopen the club. This shirt is from the 2015 special edition, marking the year the club earned promotion to the Primera División.

Almirante Brown · 2016/17 · #4 · Match Prepared
The club from Isidro Casanova is named for Guillermo Brown, the Scottish-born admiral considered the father of the Argentine Navy. A fun bit of trivia about the black and yellow colors: one popular theory says that, short on a full kit, the club once rushed to buy a batch of shirts originally meant for Peñarol of Montevideo.

Deportivo Morón · 2009/10 Away · Vintage
The nickname "El Gallito" (the little rooster) comes from a 17th-century Spanish saying about the rooster of Morón de la Frontera, in Spain: "featherless and still crowing" — used to describe someone who's lost everything but keeps complaining anyway. The Argentine club, founded in 1947 on Flag Day, adopted the rooster as its symbol in the 1960s. This is a fifteen-year-old retro shirt in good condition.

Uruguay
Fénix · 2016 · Match Worn · #13 Facundo Boné
Founded in 1916 by a group of young men who named the club after the mythical bird that rises from its own ashes, Fénix wears violet (eternity) and white (purity). Their biggest rival is Racing de Montevideo, in the "Clásico del Oeste." This shirt was genuinely worn on the pitch by the club.

Montevideo Wanderers · Match Worn · #2 and #7 "Mangas Largas"
Founded in 1902 by the Sardeson brothers, Wanderers is one of Uruguay's oldest clubs — known by the nickname "Bohemios." Two different pieces from this historic team.

Cerro · Match Worn · #10 (Youth)
Cerro was born in 1922 out of pure neighborhood rivalry: part of Villa del Cerro didn't want to support Rampla Juniors, the club from the other side of Montevideo's bay, so they founded their own team instead. The matchup between the two, the "Clásico de la Villa," is Uruguay's second most important derby, behind only Peñarol-Nacional. Villa del Cerro was a working-class neighborhood built up around the meatpacking plants that employed thousands of immigrants — hence the fans' nickname, "Villeros." A youth-team piece from the club.

Progreso · 2012/13 · Match Worn · #15 Alex Silva
Founded in 1917 by Spanish immigrants with anarchist leanings, Progreso adopted yellow and red in tribute to the flag of Catalonia, where many of its founders came from. The nickname "Gauchos del Pantanoso" comes from the drovers and cattlemen who played pickup games on the land next to the barbershop that today lends its name to the club's stadium. In 1989, Progreso won the Uruguayan championship by beating both of the country's giants — the only time in history that Peñarol and Nacional were both left out of the Libertadores in the same year. Years later, one of the club's presidents was Tabaré Vázquez, who went on to become president of Uruguay.

Cerrito · 2003 · Commemorative Edition
Released to celebrate the Segunda División title and promotion to Uruguay's top flight in 2003 — a slice of history from a small club's biggest moment.

Bella Vista · Women's · Match Worn · #15
Founded in 1920, Bella Vista once counted José Nasazzi among its players — captain of the first-ever World Cup-winning team, Uruguay in 1930. In 1990, the club stunned everyone by winning the Uruguayan title after finishing dead last in the previous tournament. This piece is from the club's women's team — an angle that almost never shows up in rare-shirt collections.

Liverpool (URU) · 2012 Copa Sudamericana · Match Worn · Jonathan Barboza
Yes, there's a Liverpool in Uruguay too — founded in 1915, with roots in a student team from a Capuchin school in Montevideo, named after the English city. This shirt is from a continental campaign in the Sudamericana.

River Plate (URU) · 2000/02 Home · Match Worn · #8 Carlos Diogo
Not to be confused with Argentina's River Plate: this is the River Plate of Montevideo, a smaller Uruguayan club that shares the name by pure historical coincidence — both trace back to the British tradition of naming South American clubs in English. A twenty-year-old piece, genuinely match worn.
