What are Estudiantes de La Plata's colors?
Red and White Stripes at 1 y 57
Estudiantes de La Plata is closely identified with the vertical Red and White stripes of its traditional home shirt. Founded on August 4, 1905 in La Plata, the club has retained these two colors as a central part of its visual identity while details such as collars, sleeves, and stripe proportions have varied between designs. Club communications regularly refer to the traditional red-and-white striped shirt, while the same palette is prominent in the Estudiantes crest. The team plays at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi, commonly known as UNO, at the historic 1 y 57 location in La Plata. Red and White have accompanied Estudiantes through major sporting achievements, including four Copa Libertadores titles and its 1968 Intercontinental Cup victory, making the striped combination one of the most consistent elements of the club’s identity.
When the Stripes Became Part of UNO
The traditional striped design extends beyond the Estudiantes shirt. During the redevelopment of Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi, the stand along Calle 57 was painted with vertical Red and White stripes in 2019, bringing the familiar appearance of the club’s jersey into the architecture of the ground itself. The rebuilt stadium reopened later that year at the club’s long-established 1 y 57 home. This use of the same striped pattern gives UNO a direct visual connection to the traditional Estudiantes kit and shows how the club’s two primary colors are carried consistently from its football shirts and crest into its home stadium.
