On a Rio billboard, Nike kicks off campaign for Corinthians' new kit | OneFootball

On the morning of this Tuesday (31), Nike, Corinthians’ sportswear supplier, began the campaign for the launch of the club’s new 2026/2027 season kits on a digital billboard in Rio de Janeiro. In the Leblon neighborhood, the panels displayed the following phrase: “Welcome to Rio de Janeiro. Corinthians is here too. In May, new Timão shirts inspired by the Invasão of 76.”

The 1976 Corinthian Invasion is one of the biggest milestones in the club’s history. That is because more than 70,000 Corinthians fans left São Paulo for Rio de Janeiro to fill the stands of the Maracanã for the single match against Fluminense in the Brazilian Championship semifinal. That year, Alvinegro qualified for the final of the national tournament after a 1-1 draw in regular time.

Corinthians’ home kit is expected to feature an off-white shade, a yellowish white reminiscent of older shirts. Alvinegro’s emblem is shown in a retro version, and the design comes with a pattern inspired by Rio de Janeiro’s sidewalks and the Fiel flags waving during the semifinal of that Brazilian Championship. The collar will be Y-shaped and round.

The number two shirt will have the traditional stripes, with off-white details over black. In a Y shape, the collar follows the lighter tone, as do the sleeves, in reference to the model used that year. The badge will also be retro, just like on kit one. Finally, the goalkeeper shirts are expected to follow a zigzag pattern, creating a 3D effect with various colors.
