Flamengo pays homage to its history with the new kit

In Brazil, there was not only Pelè. It's a kind of basic consideration but necessary too, especially looking at the new great players wave in last years: Ronaldo, Dinho, Kakà, Romario. Just to summon. But the glorious Brazilian soccer history cannot be reduced to that great player who Edson Arantes Do Nascimento has been, or just to Garrincha, Didì and Vavà Santos. That country's history is the soccer history, it is about those 3 world cups and Corinthian Democracy, it is about a soccer so wonderful and winning, better than anyone. it's like a perfect correspondence: Brazil is soccer. 

There was a player always identified as the best (after Pelè, of course) in Brazil, we are talking about Zico. One of those kinds of player who also chose to face the complicated football in Europe, maybe one of the reasons why he has not been appreciated to the fullest. A great player - nothing to say - but unlucky too, he has been the crest of one of the strongest national team ever, but having so poor self-denial. A self-denial that Italy national team had in 82' world cup. 

Homeland people can remember so good O Senhor Zico, Flamengo's symbol, one of the most important and iconic clubs in all over the world. 

It's the reason why adidas - the coolest sportive brand at the moment - decided to count on the Clube de Regates do Flamengo's new shirt. Historical structure stays on, holy red and black, as the holy symbol and the star lying on the chest; the buttons on the neck look like the last years' clubs leanings - Manchester UTD, say any old thing. Meanwhile, on the shoulders, there is the vulture mascot. Every single choice seems to be headed to a kind of engagement strategy to all the supporters. 40 millions of supporters, to be more specific
