Nike present Brazil’s Corinthians 2016 home kit!

Nike - Corinthians 2016 home kitBuilding on Corinthians’ proud, more than century-long history, rich with traditions, the “Timão” unveil a new home kit for the 2016 season. Along with underscoring this heritage, the Nike-made kit supports the club’s belief that it doesn’t matter which players take the field; what matters is the crest on their shirts. “I joined the club just a few months ago, but the responsibility of wearing this uniform is already clear,” says midfielder Giovanni Augusto. “I am very proud of placing my hand on my chest and saying: ‘I’m Corinthians!’”

Breaking from previous home kits, the new home shirt is predominantly white, with a vintage off-white cast similar to that of the Corinthians jerseys worn just after the club was founded in 1905. However, the club’s past polo collar has given way to a V-neck design. Additionally, the word “Timão” adorns the shirt’s inside back collar. Black shorts provide a bold contrast while white socks, the same shade as the shirt, complete the kit.

The home kit made its on-pitch debut on Sunday, May 15, when Corinthians faced Grêmio at Arena Corinthians for the Brazilian National Championships.

These new kits have been created to give players the very latest Nike innovations in fabric construction, performance technology, moisture management and environmental sustainability.
