Since some Argentines are extremely die-hard football fans, try to avoid wearing rival soccer jerseys, as one bad turn on the wrong street, or walking into a bar wearing the wrong colors, could be dangerous in low-class neighborhoods. You can wear European football club jerseys with an Argentinean player's name on the back (for example: a Manchester City jersey with Tevez's name,a Barcelona jersey with Mascherano's name,etc..). If you really want to wear a jersey, the safest plan is to wear an Argentina world cup jersey.
During mid-late 2009 until the time of writing (March 2010), Argentine "barrabravas" (An equivalent of the term "Hooligans") have spiked in activity, causing various degrees of vandalism, assault, and deadly shootings in a few ocassions due to football debates. It is recommended not to wear local footbal clothing too often, and you will be better off if you avoid using football clothing alltogether.
The Perú national football colors (and jersey design) are almost identical to those of local team River Plate, so be cautious as to avoid misunderstandings.
