Puma Bahia 26-27 Third Kit
The Puma EC Bahia 26-27 third shirt combines a deep blue base with a tonal geometric pattern on the front inspired by traditional Pataxó necklaces. Gold detailing accents the V-neck collar, side panels, Puma cat logos, and a monochromatic Bahia crest. The contrasting shades carry symbolic meaning: blue represents the ocean and waters that are central to the Pataxó people, while gold references Tawá (yellow clay) and the ancestral riches of the land.
A special graphic sign-off reading "O Brasil sempre esteve aqui" is printed in gold on the upper back just below the collar. The kit is set to make its on-pitch debut in the Campeonato Brasileiro fixture against Remo at Arena Fonte Nova.
