Nike have launched the new Brazil Football Kit

50 years ago in Sweden, Brazil won their first World Cup. Five World Cup wins later and Nike are marketing the new Brazil shirts on the back of this anniversary.

50 years ago, the Brazil football shirt featured a traditional collar, the new Brazil shirt sports a collar built in to the fabric. The Brazilian green features on the collar, the cuffs and a flash on the side. The Brazil crest and the five stars that mark their five World Cup wins, are positioned on the left breast. Inside the collar reads ‘Born to Play Football’, written in Portuguese.

Technical Specification

The new Brazil Football Shirt features a tighter fit and Dri-FIT technology to keep players drier and cooler during play.

The Dri-FIT uses technology that helps keep the footballers drier, cooler and lighter. It achieves this by drawing sweat away from the body to the fabric’s surface for fast drying.

The Brazil shorts are royal blue with a white flash on the side, while the socks are white with a green and yellow band, featuring the five World Cup winning stars running down the calf on one sock and down the shin on the other one.

Debut

The debut of new Brazil Kit will be seen in qualification for the World Cup 2010. In addition, the team will also wear the kit in Beijing, where the team will go after the only international accolade they have yet to bring home: the Olympic Gold Medal.
