Full Nike x Brazil Home Kit Evolution - 1998-2020 - 15 Different Shirts
Nov 15, 2020, by Chris
Nike this week released the new Brazil 2020 home and away kits - we take a look back all the home shirts Nike released for Brazil, including 15 different shirts since 1996.
Nike became the shirt maker of the Brazil national football team in 1996, replacing Umbro. Back then, Umbro was an independent brand - Nike should buy Umbro in 2007 before selling them in 2012 again. The Nike Brazil deal had been a subject of investigation since a few years...

The Brasil national team home jersey wasn’t always yellow. The team ended its half-century run in white and blue after an assumed tournament victory was snatched by a devastating defeat at the Maracanã Stadium in 1950. Four years later, the Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) debuted a new kit in yellow, green and blue — the colors of Brasil’s flag. The design was the result of a national competition and the new colors stuck.
All of the Nike Brazil home kits since 1998 have a streamlined look - they come with the classic Brazil colors and without any graphic patterns. The variation of the different yellows and greens is quite low, keeping the shirts fitting for The Canaries.
Nike's jerseys for Brazil are all rather simple and classic
Our favorites are the 2013, 2002 and 2014 kits
Our favorite Nike Brazil home jerseys are the 2013 Confed Cup kit, the World Cup-winning 2002 home shirt (great memories for Brazilians) and the 2014 World Cup kit (not-so-great memories for Brazilians).

New Material for UEFA Champions League Patches?
Based on images from Manchester United's recent posts, it appears that the Starball and UEFA Foundation sleeve patches for the 26-27 UEFA Champions League might be moving away from the traditional velvet material. Instead, they seem to feature a noticeably thinner and flatter composition.
Without high-resolution close-ups, the exact material specifications cannot be fully confirmed just yet.
However, this potential shift remains unconfirmed, as other clubs have not displayed this change. Real Betis, for instance, still appeared with standard velvet-textured patches during their recent 26-27 Champions League portrait photoshoot sessions.
We will have to wait for official confirmation and close-up looks once the competition gets underway. Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the collage.
Almere City 26-27 Cup Kit Released
Dutch club Almere City have officially unveiled their new 2026-27 Cup kit. Made by Craft, the special “HANASAKA!” shirt celebrates the club’s connection with Japan through owner Yanmar and the Yanmar Hanasaka International Youth Cup, an U19 tournament organised by Almere City at the Yanmar Stadion.
The Craft Almere City 2026-27 Cup shirt features a black base with subtle tonal cherry blossom branch motifs across the front. Mint green and pastel pink details add contrast, with a mint crew-neck collar and sponsor branding joined by a pink monochrome club crest, Craft logo and sleeve trims.
