Vasco shirt vanishes from shops, Nike faces unexpected backlash from fans | OneFootball

The Vasco da Gama fans have shown a display of strength off the field that even surprised the club's sportswear supplier. Despite an unstable sporting moment, the demand for official jerseys has skyrocketed, causing issues with stock replenishment.

The current supplier, Nike, has been struggling to meet the high demand, especially for the main men's jersey.

Vasco jersey sells out and Nike faces distribution challenges

Since February 22, 2026, fans have reported difficulty finding the main jersey available for online purchase. According to BTB Sports, the product couldn't even be added to YouTube Shopping links for a simple reason: lack of stock.

At Netshoes, the available units sold out quickly, highlighting a demand above expectations. The success in sales ended up causing a side effect: empty virtual shelves and slower restocking than desired.

The situation is noteworthy because it involves one of the largest sportswear companies in the world. Even with a global structure, Nike couldn't keep up with the pace of Vasco fans at this specific moment.

The scenario reinforces the strength of the Vasco brand in the market. While the team seeks consistency on the field, off the field, the fans maintain high consumption, demonstrating loyalty and engagement even during turbulent phases of the season.
