Vasco unveil new kits as Nike partnership kicks off | OneFootball

This Thursday, Vasco unveiled its new uniforms for the 2026 season. This launch marks the debut of the partnership with Nike, the club’s new supplier of sports materials starting this year.

The Cruzmaltino will wear the uniform for the first time tonight, when they face Maricá in a match valid for the first round of the Campeonato Carioca. The ball kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at São Januário, in Rio de Janeiro.

On the main jersey, the traditional black dominates the entire piece, with the iconic white diagonal sash reinterpreted through graphics inspired by the movement of water — waves, flow, and crossings — directly referencing the Club’s nautical origins and Vasco’s spirit of navigation.

The uniform features the geographic coordinates of São Januário — 22º 53′ 27.2″ S, 43º 13′ 41.9″ W — a detail that connects each jersey to the territory and the heart of the fans. The crew neck and finishes follow a modern construction, while the white shorts and black socks complete the main uniform.

The second uniform preserves the elegance of Vasco’s classic white jersey and applies the same diagonal sash with graphics that evoke the sea and Vasco’s journey. The piece features a black crew neck and sleeves in the same color, creating a striking contrast. As with the main jersey, the coordinates of São Januário are also present. Black shorts and white socks complete the kit.

“This jersey represents much more than a uniform. It translates the essence of Vasco: a club that has always had the courage to face challenges, break barriers, and write its own history. Being alongside Nike, the biggest sports brand in the world, reinforces Vasco’s stature and the ambition to occupy a space worthy of its history,” said Pedrinho, president of Vasco.

“Having a partner of this caliber is strategic for the club, because it respects our traditions, values symbols that are part of our identity, and projects Vasco towards the future we want to build. It’s a jersey that connects Vasco’s past of struggles with a new cycle of growth, always guided by our convictions and the strength of our fans,” he added.
