Santos unveil kit paying tribute to the Outubro Rosa campaign | OneFootball

Santos announced this Wednesday, in partnership with Umbro, the launch of a uniform in tribute to the Pink October campaign. The initiative is carried out in partnership with FEMAMA (Brazilian Federation of Philanthropic Institutions Supporting Breast Health), reinforcing the commitment to the prevention and control of breast cancer in Brazil.

“The uniform in honor of Pink October is yet another great partnership with Umbro, our sports equipment supplier. And it is a very important act, with part of the proceeds from sales being donated to FEMAMA, an organization that does great work throughout the country. We also highlight that our Sereias da Vila will already be wearing the new shirt in this Thursday’s match at 5 p.m., when they face Red Bull Bragantino in the Paulista Championship, at our home,” said Marcelo Teixeira, president of Santos.

The uniform features the characteristic design of Peixe, reinterpreted with the color pink, the symbol of the campaign. The piece includes an internal FEMAMA tag, which provides information about the institution and the importance of the date.

The debut of the shirt takes place this Thursday at 5 p.m. (Brasília time), when Santos hosts Red Bull Bragantino for the seventh round of the Paulista Women’s Championship at Vila Belmiro. Peixe is in 7th place, with nine points. The team from Bragança Paulista is in 5th place, with 12 points.

Proceeds destined for FEMAMA

Santos also announced that part of the proceeds from the sales of the new uniform will be donated to FEMAMA, which operates nationwide with the goal of expanding women’s access to early diagnosis and quality treatment in a timely manner.

“When we talk about breast cancer prevention, we are talking about having annual screening exams, combined with changing our habits to take better care of our bodies, such as eating well and practicing regular physical activity. Our partnership with Umbro reinforces, year after year, the importance that sports have in promoting health as a whole and helps us take this message to places where health information often does not reach,” commented Dr. Maira Caleffi, chief mastologist of the Breast Center at Hospital Moinhos de Vento in Porto Alegre and founding president of FEMAMA.

The shirt will be available starting this Wednesday at official Santos stores, on the Santos Store website (santosstore.com.br), physical stores, and on the Umbro website (umbro.com.br). The piece will be sold in men’s, women’s, and children’s models.

“More than dressing fans, we are dressing a cause. Pink October is a time for mobilization and we understand that football has a unique power to reach and transform. It is an honor to unite sports and social responsibility in such a meaningful campaign and, being able to join with FEMAMA for another year, is a great source of pride,” concluded Eduardo Dal Pogetto, director of Umbro in Brazil.
