THE VITALS:

Era: 2013 (Used for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup)

CONDITION: EXCELLENT

This increasingly rare shirt comes in excellent condition! While the material does display some pulling in parts; all of the applications and printing remain in steadfast condition!

DIMENSIONS:

Made in Nike’s ‘Dri-Fit’ mould which they introduced in 2013; this shirt may feel rather baggier than usual for a size medium, so please bare this in mind if you normally wear a size medium shirt. Moreover, the dimensions would suggest that this be a better fir for a size large.

DESCRIPTION:

With Brazil ready to host the 2013 edition of the FIFA Confederations Cup and raise the curtain to their hosting of the World Cup in 12 months-time; Nike of course made a brand new set of kits for The Selecao’, and this home shirt will without a doubt go down as one of their best ever! For only the second time since taking the reins; Nike crafted a Brazil home shirt with a collar! The collar itself is quite thick and this is also reflected in the elasticated sleeves. After the more modern-contemporary efforts made by Nike in recent years, this simple yet classy throwback was a welcome addition to their ever-growing pantheon of Brazil home shirts! Please note, the number 7 print may be a mis-print as it appears to be from the 2009-10 range, nevertheless, it takes nothing away from the aesthetic of this fine shirt!

THE SEASON(S):

With the World Cup around 18 months away from taking place in Brazil; the host nation would have the Confederations Cup to look forward to in 2013 ahead of the grand spectacle in 2014. The calendar year of 2013 began with a new strip being introduced for the ‘Selecao’ which debuted in the 2-1 defeat away against England on February 6th. That defeat would pave the way for a phenomenal run of 6 games unbeaten against a murderer’s row of opposition that included: Italy, Russia, Bolivia, Chile, England and France, as they prepared to hosting duties for the Confeds.

Brazil were nothing short of excellent at the tournament; defeating Japan, Mexico and Italy in the group stages, to set up a semi-final with Uruguay, which the hosts duly won to set the stage for a grand finale against the World and European champions: Spain. Brazil would swat Spain aside 3-0 to retain the Confederations Cup for the second time of asking.

A defeat to Switzerland in their next outing would do nothing to derail their momentum, as they defeated: Australia, Portugal, South Korea, 2012 African Cup of Nations champions – Zambia, Honduras and finally Chile to end 2013 on a 6 match winning streak!

The notable players that season(s) were:

Neymar Jr, Fred, Hulk, Jo, Jadson, Bernard, Willian, Jean, Oscar, Hernanes, Lucas Moura, Luiz Gustavo, Paulinho, Fernando, David Luiz, Dani Alves, Dante, Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Marquinhos, Felipe Luis, Rever, Julio Cesar, Jefferson
