The CBF crest returns to the center, just like in the 2004 version. The players’ names are presented in a completely new font, developed from the rich Brazilian art and design. Inside the collar, an exclusive emblem bears the inscription “Brazil Para Todos” (Brazil for Everyone), highlighting the passion, creativity, and fun that Brazilian football arouses in all football lovers worldwide. From Brazil to Brazil and from Brazil to the World.
The development of the new collection combines Nike’s sports science – including rigorous data collection and insights – with comprehensive computational design to create a lightweight and state-of-the-art uniform. The new uniforms use Dri-FIT ADV technology, Nike’s most advanced platform for clothing.
Athletes’ sweat and body heat maps were crucial in designing and structuring Dri-FIT ADV in the uniforms. Based on these maps and developed technology, designers were able to design the material pixel by pixel to provide precise and ventilated reinforcement that cools the athlete’s body points exactly where needed, preventing sweat from hindering players’ performance on the field.
In addition to bringing the best in terms of design, performance, and innovation, the uniforms are also made from 100% recycled polyester from recycled plastic bottles, reducing waste and impact without compromising garment performance. The use of recycled polyester reduces carbon emissions by up to 30% compared to virgin polyester, and helps divert an average of 1 billion plastic bottles from landfills and waterways annually.
