On the left sleev is present a patch in red and green colors, on which is written: "Orgulho de ser Lusa" and means "Proud to be Lusa", Lusa is the nickname of Portuguese.

Internacional Porto Alegre fantasy kits

Full name: Sport Club Internacional
City: Porto Alegre
League: Campeonato Brasileiro Série A
Stadium: Beira-Rio
Fouded: 1909
Shirt sponsor: Banrisul, Tramontina, Unimed
Kit manufacturer: Reebok

I'm sure there will be people saying it's just another use of one previous template, but the truth is I like so much this design and I felt it will suit good Internacional Porto Alegre. The home kit is traditional red shirt, white shorts and socks. Also are features in a darker shade of red.
The away kit is opposite to the first one, white shirt, red shorts and socks. The features on the shirt are red.
Here is the new third kit with changed colors from dark blue to black and dark gray. I'll not judge anyone for this, but I simply cannot understand this color problem for some fans. There are many rival teams in the world, sharing the main color of their shirt, or one of their color, such are Manchester United and Liverpool. This year the both team has the for away kit the same color scheme, white shirt with red and black features, black shorts and white socks also with red and black. Also are rival teams sponsored by the same company, such are Celtic and Rangers from Glasgow, and in this case Gremio and Internacional. Anyway in my point of view, between dark blue and sky blue is a very big difference, but don't want to interfere in any club's history or rivalry.

Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama fantasy kits

Full name: Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama
City: Rio de Janeiro
League: Campeonato Brasileiro Série A
Stadium: Estádio São Januário
Fouded: 1898
Shirt sponsor: Eletrobras, Ale
Kit manufacturer: Penalty

Finaly the long waited (and lots of time spent for it) CR Vasco da Gama kits. This is my first design for the brand Penalty, so the research was a bit longer then usual. One nice surprise was when I find out that Igor Cavalera, the former drummer from Sepultura (one of my favorite band in the past) is working with Penalty and make designs for some Brazilian clubs. In this case he designed the third kit for Vasco. The home kit is all black with a white diagonal band on the shirt. The red colour is also present (the numbers and thin stripes and trims). The number on the front is present on the lower part of the shirt instead of the shorts. I changed the main sponsor's logo (left out the green-blue-yellow logo) to avoid too many colours on the shirt. I kept the blue for Eletrobras and also for the Ale logos from the shoulders.
The away kit is all white with black bands. The red colour is present on the cross and numbers. The thin stripes and trims are gray.
The third kit with this colour scheme is not very useful but as I saw in South American leagues (and Mexican also) the meaning of the third kit is different than in European leagues. Lots of teams have more kits in the same colour scheme. So I made the third kit white and black. On the left shoulder is a big red cross, the crest of the club. This feature is present on the back of the socks also. Otherwise the design is simple, only a thin line on the sides and lower part of the back of the shirt and shorts. The numbers, logos and name are black. No other colour besides black, red and white is present. I hope Igor Cavalera will be proud of me if he will see my designs :)

The teams wear white shirts with twoo horizontal bands on the chest, black short and white socks. There must be no red on the kits, therefore the Lotto logo has no red on it.
The away kit is green and white stripes (horizontal or vertical) on the shirt, white short and green socks. I choosed a variant with horizontal stripes and the white ones are thinner than the green stripes.The third kit is all black with green round crew neck and trims, and two green bands on the sides of the shirt.

Brazil World Cup 2010 fantasy kits

Name: Brazil
Federation: Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (Brazilian Football Confederation)
Confederation:CONMEBOL (South America)
Founded: 1914
Kit manufacturer: Nike

And here is Brazil, no need for more details. I used the usual colour scheme yellow and green for shirt, blue and white for short and white and green for socks.
Because it's impossible to see the details on the reduced images, I thought to made a picture with some details from the Brazilian kit.
A second version of the home kit with blue socks, often used by the Brazilians in their games, especialy vs Argentina.
The away kit has also the traditional colour scheme for the second choice kit, blue-white-blue.

Pele and Garrincha, Gods of Brazilian Football

I ran across this BBC documentary about Pele and Garrincha put together in 2002. The film starts off in the 1950's, as Brazil lost in the Maracana versus Uruguay. It follows the careers and lives of Brazilian football stars Pele and Garrincha.
When they played on the same team, they never lost a game but by themselves their lives and careers took diffrent paths.

Pele and Garrincha are both footballing legends in Brazil. The film uses archive footage and details the story of these two men and explains how one became the World's Greatest Soccer player and the other died a broken alcoholic at the age of 49.

See the video below or HERE I highly recommend it!

South Africa's World Cup has its 32 teams

On Friday December 4th we will find out how the group stages will look for the XIX World Cup to take place in South Africa next Summer.

We now know the 32 countries that qualified for the world Cup:

For CONCACAF it was The United States, Mexico and Honduras.

For CONMEBOL it was Brazil, Paraguay, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay.

For Africa it was Algeria, Camerun, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria and the host South Africa.

For Asia it was Australia, North Korea, South Korea and Japan.

For UEFA: England, Denmark, Germany, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Italy, Greece Serbia, Portugal, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands,

Oh and Last but not least New Zealand.

There are really no "Virgins" that will participate in the South African World Cup though some might argue Slovakia and Serbia are first timers. The Slovaks were part of Checoslovakia and the Serbs have a long tradition with Yugoslavia and the last WC played as Serbia and Montenegro.

Who will win? My bet is with Spain and Brazil!

Fluminense F. C. fantasy kits

Full name: Fluminense Football Club
City: Rio de Janeiro
League: Campeonato Brasileiro Série A
Stadium: Laranjeiras
Fouded: 1902
Shirt sponsor: Unimed
Kit manufacturer: adidas

Another re-edited design, with a lot of changes because the old version didn't satisfie me anymore (I like to think that there is some evolution in my designing skills). Here are the previous designs, were posted on DF and FSC aswell.

For the new design used a mix from different templates. The collar was modified, the trims and the panels on the short. Because of the complexity of the shirt's design, didn't used panels from different fabrics on the shirt. The home kit has dark red shirt with green stripes and white pinstripes between red and green (the traditional Fluminense design), white short and white socks.Made two variants for the home kit, another has dark red short and socks, often used by Fluminense.
The away kit is also in two variants, one has white shirt with dark red collar and trims,and a second with all white.
The third kit is all dark red colour as the real one used by Fluminense, I supposed it's for the games vs teams with striped kits (so many in Brazil).
