adidas
is proud to unveil the new Flamengo away kit for the 2014 season, which
features an iconic design to coincide with the most famous festival in the
world – Rio de Janeiro´s Carnaval.
Carnaval
kicks off this weekend (Friday 28th February) and Flamengo's home city of Rio
de Janeiro will become the party capital of the world to millions of
Brazilians, cariocas (inhabitants of Rio) and tourists who will flock to the
city to celebrate.
adidas
pays tribute to this celebration and the heritage of Flamengo with an all-white
away kit, with white being one of the official colours of Rio de Janeiro. The
sleeves and trim on the shorts carry the iconic adidas three stripes in the
famous black and red of Flamengo, and the crest on the front is visible in
club's shield proudly displayed on the chest.
The
2014 shirt is the lightest adidas club kit ever, ensuring maximum performance
for the players. Speed, endurance and comfort will also be increased with
TechFit™ technology which stabilises and focuses muscles to generate explosive
acceleration and deliver maximum power output.
Last
but not least, the shirts also feature adidas ClimaCool™ technology, a mixture
of heat and moisture controlling materials, ventilation channels and 3D
fabrics, which improve air flow to the skin in the key heat zones.
The
adidas Flamengo away kit is available from Tuesday 11th March for purchase in
selected adidas retail outlets, associated stockists and via www.adidas.com/football. Join the
