Cruzeiro unveil 2026 white shirt after qualifying | OneFootball

Thursday night (28) was a full-on celebration for Cruzeiro fans at Mineirão. In addition to the 4-0 thrashing of Barcelona de Guayaquil and qualification for the 2026 Copa Libertadores round of 16, the club took advantage of the festive atmosphere to officially unveil its new white shirt for the season.

In a surprise move prepared by the club’s marketing department, the new kit was revealed on the pitch right after the match. The shirt appeared on television broadcasts and also in the post-match videos released by the club on social media, drawing the attention of fans at the stadium and those following the celebration from afar.

The new model keeps white as the predominant color and features Cruzeiro’s stars and the Adidas logo in blue. The kit makes a historical reference to the 1966 Taça Brasil triumph, the first national title in the club’s history, won against Pelé’s Santos.

The tribute to that historic trophy appears in details of the kit, which opts for a more classic and “clean” look, reinforcing the connection between the club’s tradition and identity. The decision to launch it after qualification in the Libertadores was also internally treated as strategic, taking advantage of the team’s high point with the fans.

The new items arrive at Cruzeiro’s official stores this Friday (29). The club has not yet officially announced the prices of the new collection, but the expectation is that the price will follow the current market standard for match shirts, around R$ 449.99.

High demand is expected in the first days of sales, especially because of the historical weight of the tribute and the momentum Artur Jorge’s team has enjoyed this season. Qualified for the Libertadores round of 16 and recovering in the other competitions.
