Adidas turns Brazil colors into club shirts for Flamengo, Internacional and Cruzeiro

Adidas does not have Brazil’s official national team kit for the 2026 World Cup. Nike does. But with Flamengo, Internacional and Cruzeiro, Adidas has still found a way into the yellow-and-green national team space: three Brazil Edition club shirts built for supporters who want the Seleção colors without leaving their club identity behind.

The design idea is simple and very effective. Each shirt uses Brazil’s classic yellow base, green detailing and blue accents, but the club badge treatment keeps the identity of Flamengo, Internacional and Cruzeiro at the center of the shirt.

Brazil colors, club identity

The three Adidas Brazil Edition jerseys share the same visual base: a bright yellow body, green shoulder stripes, green collar and sleeve details, plus white trim on the cuffs and neckline.

The shirts are clearly made for the World Cup moment, but they are not Brazil national team jerseys. They are club shirts using the national color palette, which makes the collection more interesting from a logo and identity point of view.

Three different logo treatments

Cruzeiro’s shirt keeps the club’s five-star constellation on the chest, applied in blue to match the Brazil-inspired palette.

Flamengo use their CRF monogram with a single blue star above it, paired with a blue Adidas logo on the opposite side.

Internacional have the most specific color adjustment. The SCI monogram and Adidas logo appear in green, avoiding blue on the chest of an Inter shirt.

Adidas finds its World Cup route in Brazil

The collection also works as a clever brand move from Adidas. Nike owns the official Brazil national team kit space, but Adidas still has major club partnerships in the country.

By giving Flamengo, Internacional and Cruzeiro their own yellow Brazil Edition shirts, Adidas creates a World Cup product for Brazilian supporters who want to support the national team through their club.
