Mexico 2016 Copa America Home Kit

This draft highlights Mexico's return to a green home shirt.

Mexico earlier this year launched the unprecedented black Mexico 2015 Copa America Home Kit and the white Away Shirt. It marked the very first time Mexico would sport a black home kit, after El Tri had been wearing green shirt, white shorts and red socks for decades.

Next year, Mexico will return to the iconic three-colored look, meaning the much-discussed back Mexico Home Shirt will be history. Red and white accents will complement the green base color of the Adidas Mexico 2016 Home Shirt, while it's expected that it will be complemented by white shorts and red socks.
