Not out of fear, or even joy, but just down to the sheer intensity of it all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deafening noise, the sea of blue and yellow bouncing in unison, the crackle of flares lighting up the night sky, it was sensory overload in the best possible way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Struggling to catch his breath as bedlam unfolded around him, Hylland felt tears stream down his face and fall onto the concrete steps of La Bombonera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hylland tells <em>The Kit Room Collective<\/em> how that teary night in Buenos Aires laid the emotional foundation for <em>Tears at La Bombonera<\/em>, a book that captures his six-year sojourn through South America, where the kits were as much a part of the rivalry as the noise<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting in Argentina, Hylland spent four years in the land of silver, and the Boca-River rivalry was simply its crescendo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe football almost feels like an inconvenience<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The real experience happens outside the stadium, the noise, the colour, the chaos. By the time you\u2019re inside, the match can be quite dull,\u201d Hylland says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI went to a Boca-River game where the first goal came in the 85th minute. Before that, it was all about the party on the streets. They call it carnival, it\u2019s their escape from a hard week, a hard life. That\u2019s what makes football so important over there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"652\" data-src=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/kitroomcollective\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-29-144636-1024x652.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42613 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/kitroomcollective\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-29-144636-980x624.jpg 980w, https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/kitroomcollective\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-29-144636-480x306.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/652;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a word, aguante, which means enduring support. Fans believe their presence can drive the team forward. At the World Cup, Argentina\u2019s loss to Saudi Arabia was partly blamed on a lack of <em>aguante<\/em> in the stands. That\u2019s how deeply they believe passion influences performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the fire of Boca versus River isn\u2019t just about the game, it\u2019s born from a history of cultural and social tension that still burns today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGoing back right from the beginning, they came from the same neighbourhood. Riverplate were born in the same neighbourhood, La Boca.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe idea is they played a game to decide who should stick around and who should move, and Boca won.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRiver Plate eventually moved to wealthier neighborhoods like Palermo and N\u00fa\u00f1ez, while Boca stayed in the working-class area. But despite this, both clubs have homogeneous fanbases that span all social classes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The passion and roar fill the air on matchday, but the true spectacle is the colors; Boca\u2019s deep blue and gold against River\u2019s crisp white and red, a visceral, iconic rivalry all on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s something I mentioned in the second book, but there\u2019s something special about that derby because both teams always wear the same colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo you can say the stadiums are iconic. Yeah, they&#8217;re bucket list places. The players have been incredibly iconic; Riquelme, Tevez, Crespo, etc. But the images that you have of these players, inevitably they&#8217;re always with the yellow bar across the Boca shirt and the red sash across the white shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat constant visual contrast makes the rivalry instantly recognizable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like the club\u2019s origins, the colours they have become synonymous with are also tales steeped in tradition, lore, and lasting symbolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRiver Plate\u2019s colors are believed to come from an Italian regional flag, likely Liguria, reflecting the origins of many Italian immigrants who passed through the port of Genoa,\u201d Hylland explains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoca Juniors, on the other hand, experimented with many kit colors early on, including Juventus-style black and white stripes and even pink.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe story goes that they decided to adopt the colors of the next ship to sail into the harbor, which happened to be a Swedish flag. Since then, Boca has embraced that blue and gold, sometimes even wearing kits boldly displaying the Swedish flag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-src=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/kitroomcollective\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/05\/eduardo-sanchez-qhcLc3k-fCI-unsplash-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42615 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/kitroomcollective\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/05\/eduardo-sanchez-qhcLc3k-fCI-unsplash-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/kitroomcollective\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/05\/eduardo-sanchez-qhcLc3k-fCI-unsplash-480x360.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Over here, football fans&#8217; fashion can sometimes be quite muted; black jackets, Stone Island, low-key looks. But in Argentina there\u2019s no fear in flaunting colour and kits are often worn by fans like a proud badge of honour, but this wasn\u2019t always the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere haven&#8217;t been any away fans in Argentina for about 12 years or so now.&nbsp; I think the reality is that over the last 12 years, a lot more families, a lot more women have been comfortable going to the games, and therefore, they&#8217;re a lot more comfortable wearing their shirts and their colours, because the level of violence has reduced massively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think there\u2019s a real freedom in wearing your colours now. People are proud of them, why wouldn\u2019t you be?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hylland reveals, a large number of these kits are probably replicas or fakes, but that doesn\u2019t lessen the passion behind wearing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA large aspect of Argentinian football is the fake shirts. The fake shirts are so good, simply for the fact that there&#8217;s a price parity. I think they call it PPP, whereby, an Adidas shirt or a Nike shirt costs the same basis in every single country around the world. But then, if you&#8217;re living in a poor country, how on earth do you have to afford 50 to 80 euros for a football shirt?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since that teary night at La Bombonera, Hylland has witnessed over ten more Supercl\u00e1sicos and journeyed through Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, and beyond, yet it&#8217;s Argentina that has stayed with him the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor a football nut, Buenos Aires is probably the best place to start your travels. They call it the \u2018gringo trail\u2019, a route mostly north to south, from Colombia down to Argentina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor me, Buenos Aires was the only place that really got me. It might sound like a clich\u00e9, but if you spend more than a couple of weeks there, there\u2019s no shortage of football indulgence. You can dive into football before even seeing the typical tourist spots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven Brazil, with its love of football, looks at Argentina and thinks, \u2018We\u2019d love to be like them.\u2019 Despite the rivalry and language differences, a lot of football culture and passion in Brazil borrows from Argentina.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"501\" data-src=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/kitroomcollective\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-29-145522-1024x501.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42618 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/kitroomcollective\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-29-145522-980x480.jpg 980w, https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/kitroomcollective\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-29-145522-480x235.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/501;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And while some might approach La Boca with caution, Hylland urges people to look past the misconceptions and experience the soul of a neighbourhood that lives and breathes football, colour, and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re not interrupting their carnival or party. They\u2019re in their own world, grilling food, drinking fernet with Coca-Cola. Things happen everywhere, but I\u2019d happily walk La Boca in daylight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a city where football is stitched into the soul, pride doesn\u2019t fade with defeat but it grows louder and more visible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne thing I actually noticed was after a Boca Juniors loss to River Plate, or the other way around, the next day you\u2019d see loads of fans wearing the losing team\u2019s shirt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like they\u2019re almost more proud to wear it, knowing they\u2019ll get some teasing or stick for it. But they wear it anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt represents a lot of the city in general: a kind of defiance, pride, and strength in the face of struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first time Christopher Hylland attended the Supercl\u00e1sico in Argentina, he cried.
