Inspired by the first uniforms of Club de Regatas Botafogo, from 1894, O Mais Tradicional and Mizuno are unveiling this Tuesday (21) Glorioso’s new away shirt. Following the tradition of Fogão’s rowing and nautical sports roots, the kit is entirely black, with special elements referencing the founding of Alvinegro and an innovative fabric developed especially for the collection.

Botafogo will debut the new kit this Thursday (23) at Nilton Santos in the match against Vitória, at 7:30 p.m., in a postponed game from the 4th round of the Brasileirão. The new pieces from the partnership with Mizuno are already available for fans at Botafogo Store’s physical shops and will soon be available on the e-commerce site through the link store.botafogo.com.br/.

Made with a brand-new fabric developed in partnership by SAF Botafogo’s Branding department and Mizuno, the shirt features a monochromatic black palette, embossed texture with vertical stripes, and small patterns reminiscent of the fabrics used in shirts from that era. The kit also features the traditional crest on the front and a commemorative seal on the back of the neck. The new away goalkeeper shirt follows the same theme, bringing blue to Glorioso’s Flame.

"Football holds a unique place in the country’s culture, going beyond the four lines of the pitch and connecting with fashion, entertainment, and lifestyle. It is in this context that Mizuno has been building its presence in Brazilian football, aiming to highlight the history of clubs through products that combine Japanese tradition, innovation, and authenticity. Botafogo’s Away shirt reflects this purpose by honoring the club’s origins and its century-long history. Our goal is to keep strengthening the brand’s presence in football, creating connections with athletes, supporters, and everyone who sees sport as part of their lifestyle," says Rafael Santos, Mizuno’s marketing director.
