The group stage of the Copa Libertadores kicks off next week, where the remaining 32 teams will compete for the continental title. Clubs from ten countries are involved and South American shirt experts @mantosdofutebol have put together this infographic showing the breakdown of kit manufacturers in the competition. 
One thing that’s immediately noticeable is how much more variety there is than in the Champions League, where only six manufacturers were present at the beginning of this season’s competition, compared to the 17 different brands (including the in-house brands who produce the kits of Estudiantes and Fortaleza) in the Copa Libertadores.
Adidas come out on top with six teams from five different countries wearing their gear in the Copa Libertadores. They are the technical sponsors of Boca Juniors, Emelec, Flamengo, Colo, Sporting Cristal and River Plate, all some of the biggest teams in their respective leagues.
Nike have only four teams in this year’s tournament following their decision to downsize their football operations in South America, with RB Bragantino, Corinthians, Allianza Lima and Club Olimpia wearing the Swoosh.
Puma also have four teams in Cerro Porteno, Club Libertad, Penarol and defending Libertadores champions Palmeiras.
Ecuadorian brand Marathon are next with three teams while Umbro and Le Coq Sportif have two each. The remaining 11 brands, including Kappa and Under Armour, have one team each in the tournament.
