Colombia's home shirt for Copa America 2016 will be white: Leaked [PHOTOS]

Colombia’s home jersey for the Copa America Centenario to be played in the USA in the summer of 2016 will be white instead of yellow.

Although the shirt isn’t officially going to be revealed until March, the sleuths at FootyHeadlines have uncovered all of the details about the design and have created artist renditions of what it looks like below.

According to FootyHeadlines, “Mostly white, the new Colombia home jersey features accents in navy and red, with the previously expected yellow restricted to the federation crest. Navy is used for the iconic collar, similar to the one used for the new Spain kit, as well as for the Adidas stripes, which run down on both sides of the new Colombia football shirt.

“Red is used for the sleeve cuffs and trim on the lower back of the collar of the new Colombia kit. The front and sleeves of the Colombia Copa America Centenario home kit show subtle striping, in similar fashion to the new Mexico kit.

“White was not only used for Colombia’s home kits in the 1940s, but also for iconic away jerseys in the 1970s and 1980s. Colombia adapted a red-blue-yellow tricolor kit in 1985, only switching to the currently established yellow-blue-red in 1993.”
