Nike Launch Unique Premier Brazilian Club Kits - Football Shirts

In a year when the team wearing the world’s most famous football jersey will fight for the right to display a sixth star, Nike has created a series of jerseys for five partner clubs in Brasil. Alonside Corinthians, Internacional, Santos, Coritiba and Bahia, the brand has launched unique third uniforms, all bearing the legendary yellow of the national jersey alongside each club’s official colors.

Nike’s designers worked with the five clubs to bring the spirit of the famous yellow jersey to each team’s individual style. While the yellow shimmer dominates, each club’s traditional colors are preserved in the details. On the inside, all five jerseys share the inscription “Nascido pra jogar Futebol” (“Born to play football”) a motto which has been used on all official jerseys for the Brazilian national team since 2010. 





The Corinthians and Internacional colours can be seen in the collar and sleeves, for Corinthians, Nike designed a V-neck with black and white details, while Internacional’s look has a red crew neck. The Santos jersey also sports a crew neck, with black on the top of the jersey and on the sleeves, set apart from the yellow by a white V-shaped line.

Coritiba’s jersey has a green V-neck and green and white detailing on both sleeves. The design for the Bahia uniform features stripes in alternating shades of yellow. The club’s traditional red, white and blue shades are highlighted in the V-neck.

“When fans see the striking yellow of Brasil’s National Team kit on pitch, they know phenomenal football will follow. By designing third kits for our partner clubs, which bear the same vibrant yellow, we are paying tribute to Brasil’s unique style of play,” said Henry Rabello, Vice President Marketing, Nike Brasil.
