Forest green body with white mesh shoulder panels, red piping tracing the seams from collar to hem, white Nike swoosh on the right chest, the Mexican eagle crest centered, and a perforated white #4 on the front. R. MARQUEZ in green across the white upper back panel with a green perforated #4 beneath it. Nike Dri-FIT. The white yoke on the shoulders gives this one a distinctive silhouette that set it apart from every other Mexico kit of the era.
2004 was Rafa Márquez in the middle of his Barcelona dream. He'd moved to the Camp Nou in 2003 and was establishing himself as the first Mexican to ever wear the blaugrana — a centre-back with the technical ability to play out from the back and the composure to anchor a defense alongside Puyol. For the national team, 2004 was all about Copa América in Peru and the long road of World Cup qualifying for Germany 2006. Márquez captained a México side that included Borgetti, Oswaldo Sánchez, and Pavel Pardo, and he was already the undisputed leader of the backline — the player every kid in México wanted to be.
This is peak-era Rafa before the World Cup spotlight. A Mexico #4 from the Barcelona years, in the green with the white shoulders — clean and rare.
