Pedro fronts Flamengo fan campaign to design new Manto da Nação shirt | OneFootball

Flamengo have launched Manto da Nação, inviting supporters to design an official limited edition shirt. The marketing push included a cryptic Instagram post from Pedro that briefly alarmed fans before revealing the contest.

The club said in a statement that the competition has three stages, starting with design submissions, then a shortlist of 10, and finally an online fan vote to pick the winner. Submissions run from 14 July to 9 August.

The winning designer will receive R$ 10,000 and a shirt featuring their work. Other finalists will also receive a unit. The shirt will be sold in an exclusive pre-order window from 1 to 8 September.

Shortlisting is scheduled for 10 to 16 August, voting for 17 to 30 August, with the result on 1 September. Manufacturing begins from 9 September, and deliveries are due to start in December.

Entries are open to fans aged 18 or over via mantodanacao.flamengo.com.br, with proposals submitted as a PDF up to 20 MB and a concept explanation. Designs should reflect Flamengo’s identity, history and symbols.

The initiative mirrors Atlético-MG’s Manto da Massa, which has had five editions produced since 2020.
