Manto da Massa begins a new chapter in its history. Starting with this edition, the fans will play an even bigger role in creating this special jersey in Atlético’s black-and-white calendar.
The project has adopted a new collective-building format and brings another major development: the participation of Nike, Atlético’s sportswear supplier.
After establishing itself as one of the most innovative initiatives in Brazilian football, Manto da Massa is evolving to reflect even more strongly the wishes of the Massa Atleticana.
The new edition will be built from the ideas, references, symbols, and feelings shared by the fans. These contributions will serve as the foundation for developing the new Manto da Massa and can be submitted through the website mantodamassa.com.br.
More than 7,000 suggestions
The participation of the Massa already shows the strength of the initiative. More than 7,000 Atlético fans have sent in their ideas for the new Manto da Massa. Fans have until this Sunday (8/23) to take part and contribute to the creation of the 2026/27 jersey.
There is no need to submit a finished design. Supporters can share ideas, references, symbols, and feelings they would like to see represented in the new kit. The proposal broadens access to the project and allows the entire Massa to take part in the creative process.
Nike’s participation
For the first time, the project will feature the participation of Nike, globally recognized for creating some of the most iconic kits in sports. The supplier will turn the fans’ main ideas into three exclusive design proposals for the new Manto da Massa.
After that stage, the Massa will choose the winner of the three models by vote.
What began as a pioneering initiative has become a phenomenon of engagement, belonging, and sales, taking the strength of the Massa far beyond Minas Gerais and Brazil. Now, the project takes another step toward making fan participation even broader, more democratic, and more decisive.
The team will play at least one official match wearing the Manto da Massa. The 2026/27 Manto will carry the identity of millions of Atlético fans.
Take part: visit mantodamassa.com.br by Sunday (8/23) and send in your suggestion for the new Manto da Massa.
