1997 Season Brazil Away Blue Retro

In 1997, the Brazilian national team wore this blue away kit during the Confederations Cup and Copa América qualifiers. They dominated the Confederations Cup, defeating Australia 2-0 in the final to claim the title. The “Rô-Rô duo” of Romário and Ronaldo combined for eight goals, showcasing an unstoppable attacking force. In the Copa América qualifiers, they crushed Uruguay 3-1 away, with Carlos' iconic free-kick goal becoming a classic moment. The team secured the Confederations Cup title with a perfect record, cementing their status as favorites for the 1998 World Cup.
Crafted by Nike, the jersey broke from the traditional yellow-and-green palette, adopting a deep royal blue as its primary color. A white crew neck collar featured red three-stripes on the shoulders, while the embroidered crest and five stars on the chest highlighted the team's championship pedigree. Subtle diamond patterns were woven into the fabric, recreating the retro texture of 1990s football gear, with thoughtful details hidden within the minimalist design.
For fans, it stands as a dual testament to the peak of the “Ronaldo-Rivaldo duo” and the Confederations Cup triumph. The blue-dominant color scheme breaks tradition with striking recognition. As a classic away kit from Brazil's 1990s era, it combines tournament glory with design rarity. It is a prized piece in retro jersey collections, showcasing the unique charm of Samba football, and serves as a vital tribute to the golden age of Brazilian soccer.
