Flamengo to honour Jorge Ben Jor on 2027 kit; see the shirts | OneFootball

Vote took place this Monday (11)

Flamengo’s Deliberative Council approved the 2027 season shirt designs this Monday (11). The new feature will be the third kit, which will pay tribute to Flamengo-supporting artist Jorge Ben Jor. See below what Mengão’s kits will look like.

The home shirt will have thin stripes with red sleeves, similar to Flamengo’s 2018 uniform. Meanwhile, the white kit will feature red, black, and gray details. In addition, the design will honor the Salutaris Cup, a contest won by the club in 1927 that chose the friendliest club in Brazil.

WHAT WILL THE TRIBUTE TO JORGE BEN BE?

The big new feature is in the third kit: a tribute to Jorge Ben. Predominantly black, the shirt will have pink, blue, and yellow details, referencing the Tropicália movement, led by the Flamengo-supporting artist. This kit received 72% approval, while the other two got 90%. The information comes from ESPN and was confirmed by Coluna do Fla.

HAS JORGE BEN ALREADY BEEN HONORED BY FLAMENGO, AFTER ALL?

One of the country’s greatest singers, Jorge Ben has a close relationship with Flamengo. A die-hard fan, the artist tried to become a football player and even played for the club in the youth ranks. In music, he mentions the club in the songs “Sou Flamengo” and “País Tropical,” with the famous verse “I’m Flamengo and I have a girl named Tereza.”

In 2024, Flamengo paid tribute to Jorge Ben Jor. In a social media post, some players posed recreating classic photos of the artist. Those involved in the campaign included Igor Jesus, Gabigol, and Bruno Henrique, for example.
