Brazil: Nike present Brazil's new shirt for 2014 World Cup

Nike have unveiled the Brazilian team's new shirt for the 2014 World Cup 2014, on the 24/11/2013. The kit will be worn for the first time in a friendly match against South Africa in Johannesburg on the 05/03/2014.

"The Brazilian home kit is like a national flag; it symbolises the country and its people," said Martin Lotti, creative director for Nike football, on the 24/11/2013.

"Creating this kit is one of the greatest honors we have at Nike. It’s more than just a player’s uniform, it represents the history of Brazilian football, the five stars (their 5 World Cup victories), the romance of the game, and the hopes of a nation," said Trevor Edwards, president of Nike Brand, on the 24/11/2013.

In line with Nike’s commitment to superior performance with lower environmental impact, the shirt, shorts and - for the first time in a national team kit - the socks, all feature fabric made from recycled plastic bottles. Since 2010, Nike have recycled nearly 2 billion of these bottles.
