Later on in the day football and skateboarding took centre stage with various competitions, the winners of which won the right to take the stage with Luiz Gustavo and present the new shirt.
Brazilian national team manager Luiz Felipe Scolari stopped by to cast judgement on his sides new uniform. "I think it's a jersey that is well adapted to both Brasilian football and players. It will unite our spirit."
Despite the rain thousands stuck around for the grand shirt unveiling, featuring Brazilian legend Ronaldo, and for the live music laid on afterwards. A celebration indeed that was summed up perfectly by Trevor Edwards, Nike's president "If Nike were a country, it would be Brazil. Brazil loves soccer and the world loves soccer in Brazil."
