Atlético Mineiro Announce Adidas Deal - No More Special Kits?
Update: Having just won our "Kit of the Year" competition, Brazilian champions Atlético Mineiro actually announced a kit deal with Adidas in mid-December.
The three-stripe brand will replace Le Coq Sportif for the 2022 season, which likely means that there won't be another special kit like the "Manto da Massa" - Adidas are not really known to produce such unique designs. In the case of the Manto da Massa, it was actually closely based on a fan design that won a contest.
