Palmeiras fans rage at Flamengo shirt launch with Shopee | OneFootball

Flamengo launched a new jersey this Thursday (16) with the partner

To troll Flamengo, Leila Pereira recently called the Rubro-Negro the “Real Madrid of Shopee.” So the Most Beloved took advantage of the joke and launched a jersey in partnership with the e-commerce platform company. However, Palmeiras fans did not like the situation very much.

As Flamengo took advantage of the moment to market and sell a product, Palmeiras fans felt that Leila had ‘handed’ Mengão an opportunity to make money. To irritate even more the runners-up of the 2025 Libertadores, the new Manto features a star alluding to the fourth title in Lima.

“Congratulations, Leila! Your Real Madrid of Shopee comment made Flamengo create a jersey with Shopee. Making even more money. Eurico in a skirt,” vented one Palmeiras fan on social media. “The way Palmeiras humiliates itself is funny,” wrote another. “This was a set play. Auntie Leila is also Mengão,” joked one rubro-negro fan.

SO, WHAT IS THIS NEW FLAMENGO JERSEY LIKE?

Despite Palmeiras fans’ despair, the jersey was not released because of Leila. In fact, for the second year in a row, Flamengo and Shopee created a jersey at a more affordable price than the traditional Manto Sagrado. The one presented this Thursday (16) starts at R$ 92.40.

The new jersey stands out by offering a high-quality licensed item at an affordable cost for fans, with the proposal of offering products increasingly aligned with supporters’ expectations. The piece is also inspired by a historic milestone for the club, becoming the first Brazilian team to win the main tournament in the Americas for the fourth time, in November 2025.

In addition, that achievement is represented by the four stars on the back of the jersey, accompanied by the years of the titles (1981, 2019, 2022 and 2025), adding symbolic value and reinforcing the identity of the collection. The success was so great that, less than eight hours after the launch, Shopee’s website reported that the product was sold out.

WHAT WAS THE CONTEXT OF LEILA’S COMMENT, AFTER ALL?

In a speech calling for unity among the clubs, Leila Pereira mocked Flamengo. After all, rubro-negro president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Bap, usually says that Mengão needs to be the Real Madrid of the Americas. So the Palmeiras president made fun of it.

– There are clubs that think they are Real Madrid, though at most they may be the Real Madrid of Shopee. To get there, you need to keep your feet on the ground and understand that we all need one another, nobody is bigger than anybody else. That was this president’s mindset. I need the other clubs; I do not play alone — said Leila at the beginning of the month.
