In line with the retro designs, the shirts have a retro feel with fabric reminiscent of cotton. In addition, retro club crests and a classic Umbro logo were used.
As it is just a lifestyle drop, the kits won't be worn in official matches certainly.
Athletico Paranaense - 1997
The Atletico jersey takes us back to 1997 when Umbro's partnership with the club began. Styled in red and black stripes, it features a polo collar and retro club crest.
Avaí - 1988
Avaí’s jersey keeps it simple but stylish. Inspired by the club’s 1988 Santa Catarina Championship kit, the blue jersey features a classic V-neck collar.
Chapecoense - 1977
Chapecoense’s jersey takes it back to 1977, celebrating the club's Santa Catarina Championship. The green jersey features a traditional white V-neck collar and striped cuffs on the sleeves.
Fluminense - 1985
In 1985, Fluminense added a third Campeonato Carioca trophy to their cabinet. Inspired by this moment, their jersey features the club’s iconic colors of red, green, and white. The look is completed with a white V-neck collar and cuffs.
Grêmio - 1981
For Grêmio, it’s all about 1981 and the club’s first Brazilian Championship. Those blue, white and black stripes, simple white stub collar and cuffs deliver a clean, sophisticated, and timeless look.
Santos - 1963
1963 was a truly momentous year for Santos when they celebrated a second consecutive Libertadores trophy and topped it off by winning the Intercontinental cup. The jersey honors those achievements with the iconic black and white stripes combined with a black looped collar.
Sport Recife - 1955
Sport Club do Recife’s jersey is a throwback to 1955 and the kit worn during the Pernambuco title-winning season. It features black and red horizontal stripes and an oversized embroidered crest.
The Umbro retro jersey collection is available online via umbro.br. They retail at a price of R$239.90 (46 USD).

Good or Bad? Rexona Armpit Sponsorship on 2026 World Cup Referee Shirts
Update - Tuesday, June 23, 2026: Following our publication, Rexona contacted us to provide additional context on the activation.
According to Ben Curtis, Global Brand Vice President for Rexona at Unilever, the sponsorship is intended to highlight fourth officials, who "may not always be the focus of attention but are at the centre of some of football's most intense and anticipated moments," as part of Rexona's "It Won't Let You Down" campaign during the FIFA World Cup 2026. "They need to remain cool and calm under pressure - That's exactly why this partnership is such a natural fit for Rexona."
The 2026 World Cup referee shirts feature one of the most amusing and strategic sponsorship placements seen in football. Deodorant brand Rexona has their logo positioned directly under the armpits of the match officials' jerseys, creating a highly contextual advertising opportunity.
The Rexona logo remains largely hidden during regular play but becomes clearly visible whenever a referee raises their arms to signal a free kick, award a penalty, or issue a card. This placement perfectly matches the deodorant product being advertised, resulting in a memorable piece of marketing on the sport's biggest stage.
While this specific placement has caught the attention of fans during the 2026 tournament, it is not entirely unprecedented. A similar concept was previously executed in Brazil, where Avanço deodorant sponsored the armpits of Corinthians. However, Rexona's execution at a World Cup brings the clever concept to a massive global audience.
