adidas Originals Flamengo 1981 Away Shirt

Better Scarlet/Black

Based on the kits worn by a legendary side featuring World Footballer of the Year Zico and a host of other world-class players like Nunes, Leo Junior, Carlos Mozer, and Adilio, the adidas Originals Flamengo 1981 retro jersey pays tribute to one of the most impressive achievements in the history of Brazilian football. Having already claimed victory in the Cariocao (the Rio de Janeiro State Championship), Flamengo got their very first taste of continental competition at the 1981 Copa Libertadores. Mengao swept aside their competition with ease, going unbeaten all the way through to the final, which they eventually won 2-0 against Cobreloa to claim the club's first major non-domestic title. This remarkable achievement qualified them for a 1981 Intercontinental Cup match against the similarly dominant European Cup winners, Liverpool, and they went on to dismantle the best team in Europe 3-0 to crown themselves as world champions. The ultra-soft 100% cotton weave provides supreme comfort in any situation, whether you're having a casual kickabout with mates, cheering Flamengo on from the Maracana stands, or travelling South America for continental fixtures.
