Former Brazil kit supplier unveils retro collection in tribute to Pelé | OneFootball

Athleta, the former official supplier of the Brazilian National Team, announced the launch of a retro collection that reissues the jerseys worn in the World Cups of 1958, 1962, and 1970 — years marked by Brazil's victories and Pelé's prominence.

The pieces were produced based on the original models, preserving features such as 100% cotton fabric with a sturdy weight, collars and cuffs with elastic finishes, and construction similar to that used in the decades when the uniforms were created.

According to the manufacturer, the design underwent only minimal adjustments to the sleeves and cuffs to adapt the fit to current standards, without altering the historical design.

The collection is handcrafted. The numbers follow the same type of fabric application used at the time. Each jersey also features Pelé's autograph embroidered on the sleeve and an authenticity patch on the hem.

The launch takes place simultaneously on the brand's digital platforms and at two symbolic locations of Brazilian football: the Football Museum in São Paulo and the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
