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 yellow
jerseys for five partner clubs in Brasil.
Together with Corinthians, Internacional, Santos, Coritiba and Bahia, the brand celebrates a key moment in the history of Brasilian football with the launch of these unique third uniforms, which bear the legendary yellow of the national jersey alongside each club’s official colors.

“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.
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.
Corinthians
and Internacional colors can be seen in their jerseys’ collars and sleeves: for
Corinthians, Nike designed a V-neck with black and white details, while
Internacional’s look has a red crew neck. The third Santos jersey also sports a
crew neck, with black on the top part 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.
