Both sets of jersey’s aim to reflect the country’s pre-hispanic memory and current-day cultural touchstones. The home represents a feathered headdress called a ‘Copilli’, which resembles the plumage of Quetzalcóatl; a major Méxican deity.

The Aztec inspired away includes the ‘Malinalli’, a grass that ascends to the cosmos but connects to the netherworld through its roots; a conch shell, which is linked to ‘Tlahuizccalpanteccuhtli’, the Mesoamerican God of the dawn that represents the first breath of life and the last exhalation; the spiral, which reflects words that flourish through truth, song and poetry; the staff or speaking stick Quetzalcóatl carries; and new fires, which symbolises the cosmic cycles.
