Toluca Unveils Retro Home Jersey Evoking 1999–2000 Era

Club leaders say the New Balance-made shirt will rally fans, inspire players, signal the club's international ambitions.

Overview

  • Toluca unveiled the retro-inspired home jersey at Centro Tolzú Thursday, with coach Antonio Mohamed, players Alexis Vega and Luan García, and club legend Antonio Naelson 'Sinha' attending the launch.
  • The shirt features a deep red base with fine white trim, a V-style collar and the club crest centered on the chest as an explicit tribute to the club's late-1990s era.
  • The new kit is produced under Toluca's multi-year New Balance agreement that began in 2023 and went on sale that day on the club online store priced at MXN 2,699.
  • Toluca confirmed the jersey will be the official home shirt for the 2026–27 cycle and will debut in the Apertura 2026 opener on July 18 against Chivas while being used across Liga MX, Leagues Cup, Campeón de Campeones and a possible Intercontinental appearance.
  • Club officials framed the release as both a merchandising push and a symbolic rallying point, with Mohamed and sporting director Francisco Suinaga linking the retro design to the club's identity and to commercial incentives tied to kit sales.
