Celebrating 100 years of the Vasco da Gama football department and 450 years of Rio de Janeiro, the home & away 15/16 kits by Umbro are dished up in cool fashion, woven in finer detail.
Throughout these kits, impeccable attention is not short coming. The shirts; collectors items from the moment they were unveiled, contain subtle touches that celebrate the monumental occasions that the club and city of Rio are marking. Both home and away follow the same cut though simply reverse the colours. Subtle, simple and sharp the black and white sash is iconic - retro inspired though contemporary in finish they're most welcome at the bustling table of football shirts. That badge supported with so many stars, it's a belter.
Football is a game of small margins when you're dancing with the elite. These kits contain celebratory patches across the sleeves as well as bespoke typography that is at home with the cross of the club. It's a collection of shirts that pays homage though keeps things cool. No messing but plenty of tinkering, with such milestones to mark it's delivery wit befitting style. Another South American sensation from Umbro. Enough alliteration?
