Brazilian Club Launches Exact Replica of Brazil 2022 World Cup Shirt, for Less Than One Third the Price
Recently promoted to Série C, Brazilian club América FC from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, a few weeks ago launched a special shirt in support of the national team during the 2022 World Cup.
América RN 2022 Special-edition Brazil Shirt
Check out the special-edition Brazil shirt released by América FC RN below.
What's curious about the design, released by América's in-house brand, is the fact that its an exact replica of the Nike Brazil 2022 home shirt, with the only difference being the club and supplier logos that are placed on the chest.
Available since last month, the special-edition América RN Brazil jersey retails at R$ 209 (EUR 37). For this price, the attention to detail is exceptional and it's safe to say that the shirt is not far off the official Brazil 2022 World Cup jersey in terms of quality - intricate features such as the subtle jaguar print or the flag on the collar are replicated very well.
Should Nike action against this blatant copy? Are you surprised to see such a quality shirt available for just EUR 37? Comment below.
