On Tuesday, Inter Miami CF unveiled a new aqua-and-orange retro jersey in honor of the Miami Dolphins. The new kit was released as part of a Major League Soccer (MLS) collaboration with Adidas for the Archive Collection.

And who would be a better model for Inter Miami than superstar Lionel Messi?

Like the Miami Heat with its popular retro Vice jerseys, Inter Miami also paid tribute to the groundbreaking TV show Miami Vice. The newly released jersey features “Miami” across the chest in the iconic Miami Vice style of the 1980s.

Unfortunately, Messi is likely to miss Inter Miami action, having injured his right ankle during Sunday night’s eventful Copa América Final on Sunday in Argentina’s win over Colombia.
