Flamengo v Mirassol: historic Maracanã debut in special kit, see | OneFootball

In an unprecedented duel, Flamengo and Mirassol play at Maracanã for the 19th round of the Brasileirão

Flamengo's opponent this Saturday (09), Mirassol will experience a milestone in the club's history by making its debut at the iconic Maracanã, in a match valid for the 19th round of the Brasileirão. The São Paulo team, which is a newcomer to the national elite, has prepared a uniform inspired by the Brazilian national team's world championships in 1958, 62, and 70.

The tribute is part of a strategic partnership with Athleta. This is because the sports brand, which was the official supplier of Brazil during the period of the triple world championship, proposed to Mirassol a reinterpretation of the uniforms of that golden era.

What is the uniform like?

The design features nostalgic elements such as the characteristic crew neck of the 1970 uniform. The uniform also provides details that evoke both the Mirassol's founding shield and the Jules Rimet trophy, won by Brazil after the triple championship. The fusion also joins the fact that both teams use green and yellow, colors in the Maracanã's stands.
