Racing Club's New Jersey Pricing Mistake

The Racing Club of Avellaneda has presented the jerseys it will use in the upcoming season. The kits were revealed to the public in the club's official stores, where an error was initially made by setting the price at one million pesos. However, this slip was quickly corrected after widespread condemnation from fans.

The eighth edition of the Racing Club jersey, produced by the renowned Italian brand Kappa, will be associated with the conquest of the 2024 Copa Sudamericana. Racing's new kit for this season, in which they will compete in the Liga Profesional de Fútbol, Copa Argentina, and the Copa Libertadores de América, is designed to be a symbol of the current era of the club.

"A vintage jersey for the new era of Racing," mentioned the club's official social media, referring to Kappa's intention to reflect in this new design the simplicity and elegance characteristic of the institution.

Despite fans' acceptance of the new jersey on social media, they were surprised when they entered the official club store's website and found the new uniform's price set at one million pesos. In light of the widespread outrage from fans, those responsible for the website corrected the error within a few minutes, setting the correct price at 100 thousand pesos.
