Flamengo to honour Jorge Ben Jor on 2027 shirt; see the kits | OneFootball

Voting took place this Monday (11)

Flamengo’s Deliberative Council approved the 2027 season jersey designs this Monday (11). The big news will be the third kit, which will pay tribute to Flamengo fan artist Jorge Ben Jor. See below what Mengão’s kits will look like.

The home jersey will feature thin stripes with red sleeves, similar to Flamengo’s 2018 uniform. Meanwhile, the white Manto 1 will have red, black, and gray details. In addition, the design will pay tribute to the Salutaris Cup, a contest won by the Most Beloved in 1927 that chose the friendliest club in Brazil.

WHAT WILL THE TRIBUTE TO JORGE BEN BE?

On the third kit, the big novelty: a tribute to Jorge Ben. Predominantly black, the jersey will feature pink, blue, and yellow details, in reference to the Tropicália movement, led by the Flamengo-supporting artist. This kit received 72% approval in the vote, while the other two got 90%. The information comes from ESPN and was confirmed by Coluna do Fla.

HAS JORGE BEN EVER BEEN HONORED BY FLAMENGO BEFORE, AFTER ALL?

One of the country’s greatest singers, Jorge Ben has a close relationship with Flamengo. A passionate supporter, the artist tried to become a football player and even played for the club in the youth categories. In music, he mentions the Most Beloved in the songs “I Am Flamengo” and “Tropical Country,” which includes the famous line “I am Flamengo and I have a girl named Tereza.”

In 2024, Flamengo paid tribute to Jorge Ben Jor. In a social media post, some players posed recreating the artist’s classic photos. Those who took part in the campaign included Igor Jesus, Gabigol, and Bruno Henrique, for example.
