Atlético Mineiro has officially revealed the winning design for the 26-27 Manto da Massa kit, created in partnership with Nike. Following a fan vote that generated more than 30,000 votes, the third finalist model, titled "A tradição que permanece", won emphatically with 17,878 votes (59%). The final design was developed by Nike based on input and suggestions submitted by more than 10,000 club members.
The Nike Atlético Mineiro 26-27 Manto da Massa shirt introduces a bold departure from traditional vertical stripes, featuring wide horizontal black and white hoops inspired by the large flags waved by supporters in the stands. The look is elevated by metallic gold accents on the overlapping V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, side seam piping, and the embroidered Nike Swoosh. Completing the retro aesthetic, the left chest features the club's historic 1950 crest alongside the iconic anthem motto "Uma vez até morrer."
In a historic first for the initiative, the 26-27 Manto da Massa shirt will actually be worn by the first team in an official match during the 2027 season. The kit is priced at R$399.99 across men's, women's, and children's versions, with exclusive pre-sales launched for Galo Na Veia members before opening to the general public.

Atlético Mineiro's highly successful 'Manto da Massa' kit project is set to return in 2026, produced for the first time by their new technical sponsor, Nike.
The club's Director of Business officially revealed the revival of the initiative, though the announcement has sparked backlash among supporters. Fans are criticizing the modified format, which reportedly shifts away from the traditional open fan design and voting process, opting instead for Nike to produce the kit with only select fan involvement.
