The second jersey of the Brazilian National Team will be red, confirms the website
After the information that the second jersey of the Brazilian National Team for the 2026 World Cup will not use the colors of the Brazilian flag, the website Footy Headlines confirmed this Monday (28) that the color used will be red.
The use of red in next year's World Cup breaks a historical tradition of Brazil. The specific shade has not been disclosed, but according to the website, initial indications suggest "a modern and vibrant red base". The launch is expected to happen in March 2026.
In addition to the news about the color, the jersey will feature the Jordan logo, a brand linked to basketball star Michael Jordan, instead of Nike's "swoosh". The two giants of the sports world often collaborate on launches.
Brazil traditionally uses blue as its second uniform color. However, the five-time champion team has worn a white uniform in 2019 and recently, black in a specific campaign against racism.
Nike, responsible for creating the uniform, has been the current supplier of the Brazilian National Team since 1996. Previously, Brazil wore Umbro, Topper, Adidas, and Athleta.

"In a move that promises to stir conversation, the Brazilian National Team may take the field in the 2026 World Cup wearing red — precisely in the year of the next presidential elections. Coincidence? Perhaps.
But in a country where even colors carry messages, the choice of a red uniform, traditionally associated with the party currently in power, acquires a curious political tone.
After all, it’s not every day that the homeland of soccer boots abandons blue to adopt a color that, while modern and vibrant, has never been part of our flag.
In 2026, Brazil may not only seek the sixth title but also witness a duel of narratives — both inside and outside the lines."
