Earlier this month, Nike presented the new Brasileirão ball, which is the first in Brazil to be based on the Merlin model that debuted last February.
Nike 2019 Brasileirão Ball
This is the new Nike Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil football.
The new ball is predominantly white with details in blue, green, yellow and silver.
Like the models already used in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A, the new ball has just four panels instead of the 12 that were usually seen in the previous balls. This has also reduced the number of seams by 40%, eliminated hard points and created an ideal point for a more accurate shot. It also features a new latex bladder and ACC on the outside to further improve performance and reliability.
"We are excited to present the new official ball of the Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil and take all of Nike's innovation to what promises to be an incredible spectacle," said Luiz Estevam, director of soccer for Nike Brazil.

Nike Brazil 2028 Copa America Concept Kit
Following the leak of the Nike 28-29 template, Brazilian kit designer [@felipesilva_dg](https://Sheffield Wednesday) has imagined how the new design could look for the Brazil 2028 Copa America home kit. The concept adapts the leaked template, which was initially showcased in the England Euro 2028 concept, to create a fresh take on the iconic national team shirt.
The Brazil 2028 Copa America concept kit features the traditional yellow base but incorporates a significantly increased amount of blue on the main shirt. This design choice draws inspiration from recent trends seen in the Brazil women's team kits, offering a striking contrast to the more conventional yellow-dominant designs. The new paneling and layout flexibility of the Nike 28-29 template allow for these prominent blue accents to be integrated seamlessly into the overall design.
While this is strictly a fan concept and not an official leak of Brazil's next kit, it provides an interesting glimpse into the possibilities of Nike's upcoming template. The 2028 Copa America is still a couple of years away, but the anticipation for how national teams will utilize the new Nike 28-29 design language is already building.
