Japiim

Brazilian side Castanhal Esporte Clube has launched a public vote on social media to decide the club's new home shirt for the 2027 campaign. Nicknamed the "Japiim do Norte," the Pará-based club opened a design contest earlier this month exclusively for local designers, barring AI-generated artwork, before narrowing down the submissions to three distinct finalists. The winning design will be produced under the club's in-house brand, Japiim.

Supporters can choose between three varied concepts on the club's official Instagram page. Option 1 delivers a traditional look with clean vertical black and yellow stripes. Option 2 introduces stylized, distressed brush patterns along the stripes and features a centered club crest and bird emblem. Option 3 takes a bolder asymmetric approach, dominated by black on the left with a serrated transition into a yellow panel covered in feather-inspired geometric graphics.

Voting runs through October 16, 2026, when Castanhal will officially reveal the winning model. The chosen jersey will accompany the team throughout their 2027 season, which includes the Campeonato Paraense, Série D, and the Copa do Brasil.
