With more than 2,000 illustrations and around 330 images — many of them previously unpublished and part of the Flu-Memória Collection —, the publication traces the evolution of the tricolor jerseys, from the first gray-and-white models to the consolidation of the traditional green, white, and garnet combination. The book also covers the behind-the-scenes creation of the uniforms and the club’s pioneering role in Brazilian sports marketing.

The content was organized chronologically, highlighting different periods in Fluminense’s history. Among the topics covered are the adoption of the three traditional colors in 1905, the consolidation of the tricolor armor in the 1930s, the influence of the “Eternal Machine” in the 1970s, and the arrival of major sponsors in the 1980s and 1990s. The work also includes chapters dedicated to goalkeepers’ uniforms, curiosities, and memorable matches from each era.

The launch will take place on August 2, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the Salão Nobre in Laranjeiras. The event will feature an exhibition of Fluminense’s historic uniforms, the presence of former players from Flu Legends, and a collectors’ gathering, where historical items connected to the club will be presented.
