What are San Lorenzo's colors?

San Lorenzo de Almagro is closely identified with the blue-and-red striped shirt that has remained a recurring reference throughout the club’s kit history. Founded on April 1, 1908, the Buenos Aires club developed an azulgrana visual identity so closely associated with these two colors that the term became a familiar way to describe the team itself. The traditional home shirt has appeared with wider or narrower vertical stripes across different periods, while Blue and Red have continued to define its appearance. Collar shapes, fabrics, manufacturers, and other details have changed repeatedly, but the striped arrangement has remained the central design. This continuity gives San Lorenzo a recognizable visual link between shirts from different generations and keeps the blue-and-red combination at the center of the club’s football identity.

San Lorenzo’s shirt history includes substantial stylistic variation without abandoning its traditional reference point. Early versions featured laced collars, later designs introduced buttoned fronts, and shirts from the 1970s reflected the piqué styling of the period. In subsequent decades, manufacturers experimented with the width and proportions of the vertical bands. Despite those changes, the club repeatedly returned to the familiar blue-and-red striped layout. The result is a kit tradition in which construction and fashion can change considerably while the underlying visual structure remains recognizable as San Lorenzo.
