As Recife celebrates its 485th anniversary, Umbro teamed up with Sport Recife of Brazil to launch a new home and away kit for the 2022-23 season on 12 May to celebrate the historic anniversary. And about the beauty of the capital of Pernambuco.
In the promotion of the new kit, Recife is no longer the "Venice of Brazil", but the "Recife of Italy".
The new kit continues the club's traditional colours: red and black at home with gold details; The away kit echoes black and white. In addition to the traditional beauty of the color combination, aesthetic details based on the city's history further enrich the club's image and strengthen its connection to the city in which it is located.
The red and black stripes on the home jersey are wider than last season, while the away white jersey has black on the sides, neckline and other details. The geometric pattern on the front of both jerseys, based on the sun on the flags of Pernambuco and Recife, gives the jerseys a unique and powerful image.
The club's nickname, the Leao da Ilha, occupies a place inside the collar, and the lion itself is part of the club's beautiful crest.
On the outside, on the hem of the shirt, there is an icon featuring the number 485, the colorful umbrella used in Pernambuco's famous Frevo dance, and the SCR badge, the club's initials.
The debut of the new kit is scheduled for Friday, May 13, when the club celebrates its 117th anniversary and faces Chapecoense in the seventh round of the new season in Brazilian football's second division.
