Corinthians unveil No 1 shirt early for Barra-SC in Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

On the evening of this Thursday (14), at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), Corinthians will face Barra-SC at Neo Química Arena in the second leg of the fifth round of the 2026 Copa do Brasil. According to information first reported by Rádio Coringão, the Alvinegro will debut its number 1 jersey in tonight’s match.

The initial idea was to debut the primary kit in the clash against Botafogo next Sunday (17), at 4 p.m., against Botafogo at Nilton Santos Stadium, in the 16th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship. However, the plan was brought forward. The home shirt features a mostly white design, a “Y”-shaped collar, and curved lines on the sides.

The 2026/2027 collection, it is worth noting, pays tribute to the Corinthians invasion of 1976 at Maracanã Stadium. On December 5 of that year, 70,000 Corinthians fans traveled to Rio de Janeiro to watch the match against Fluminense in the Brazilian Championship semifinal. Timão advanced on penalties after a 1-1 draw in regular time.

One of the standout features of the main kit is the return of Corinthians’ retro crest, used by the club between 1940 and 1980, designed by former player Francisco Rebolo, who wore the Corinthians shirt during the 1920s. On the pitch, a simple draw is enough to send the club from Parque São Jorge through to the round of 16.

In the first leg, Alvinegro, thanks to a goal by English midfielder Jesse Lingard late in the second half, beat Barra 1-0 at Ressacada Stadium. Corinthians, it is worth emphasizing, are the reigning champions of the national knockout tournament, as in 2025 they beat Vasco da Gama at the Maracanã in the final. In their history, Timão have won the tournament four times (1995, 2002, 2009, and 2025).
