Flamengo is joining the tributes for Mauricio de Sousa’s 90th birthday with a collection starring Jeremias, the Flamengo-supporting character from the comics. In this way, the partnership with MSP Estúdios and Só Ídolos brings the character in versions inspired by the club’s colors and symbols. The pieces also refer to moments in Rubro-Negro history.
Developed and marketed by Só Ídolos, the line includes T-shirts, caps, cups, cushions, coasters, keychains, and popcorn buckets, among other items. Part of the collection also references Rubro-Negro’s fourth Libertadores title as well as the 1981 Intercontinental Cup.

The launch will take place on September 20, during the match between Flamengo and Bragantino at the Maracanã in the Brasileirão. From that date, the products will be available in Rubro-Negro’s official stores. It is also possible to buy them on Só Ídolos’ website at www.soidolos.com.br.
The relationship between Flamengo and Monica’s Gang has been marked by historic interactions, tributes, and promotional initiatives. In 2019, for example, creator Mauricio de Sousa paid tribute to striker Gabigol and drew him alongside Jeremias. Although there have been discussions about creating an exclusive comic book, the player is already part of the comics universe as an iconic figure.
Mauricio de Sousa turned 90 on October 27, 2025. Born in Santa Isabel, in São Paulo, in 1935, the cartoonist began his career at 19 as a police reporter.
The newspaper was Folha da Manhã, now Folha de S.Paulo. In that role, he illustrated his own reports. On July 18, 1959, he published his first comic strip featuring the dog Bidu and his owner Franjinha. That was how the cartoonist’s professional journey in comics began.
Despite having created a Rubro-Negro character, Mauricio de Sousa is an openly declared São Paulo supporter due to paternal influence. In the comics, however, the cartoonist has always highlighted the healthy side of football rivalries.
MSP Estúdios, founded by Mauricio de Sousa, is responsible for franchises such as Monica’s Gang, Chico Bento, and Horácio. A pioneer in character licensing in Brazil, the company has established itself as one of the main references in national entertainment.
It produces comics, books, animations, films, series, games, music, and a variety of content that combines creativity, innovation, and original storytelling. With an expanding portfolio and standout projects across multiple platforms, the company continues to explore new creative fronts.
