South America: historic football shirts from the Maracanã, the Bombonera and the Monumental

The South America collection at Le 7 Sorelle is a journey to the heart of South American fútbol, between Brazil, Argentina and the unique atmosphere of the most iconic stadiums in the world. Here you will find shirts that evoke the Maracanã, the Bombonera and the Monumental, worn – or designed – for legendary clubs such as Flamengo, Cruzeiro, Corinthians, São Paulo, Atlético Mineiro, Palmeiras, Fluminense, River Plate, Boca Juniors and Colón. Red and black horizontal stripes, red and white diagonal sashes, the Paulista tricolour and Palmeiras green: every kit tells a different way of living football, made of technique, grit, popular support and unrivalled creativity.

These historic South American shirts are not mere replicas but collector's pieces that take you back to the era of the great number 10s, packed stadiums and Copa Libertadores nights. From the fabrics of the 1970s and 1980s to the more modern lines of the 2000s, the collection brings together models by iconic brands such as Adidas, Penalty, Topper, Finta, Rhumell, Umbro, Diadora, Puma, Reebok and Olan, all strictly original and selected for those who love South American football in its most authentic form.

South American Vintage Football Shirts

In the South America collection, the pieces linked to Brazil stand out first of all. For Flamengo you will find the prestigious FLAMENGO N9 1987/1988 Adidas HOME SHIRT and the Flamengo N8 1985/1986 away shirt, as well as the Flamengo Adidas 1981/1982 jacket: red and black horizontal bands, white details and the classic Adidas style of the early 1980s, perfect for those who associate the Carioca club with nights in Rio and the great stars of Mengão. The world of Cruzeiro is represented both by the CRUZEIRO N10 1990/1991 Finta HOME SHIRT, sky blue with the stars of the Cruzeiro do Sul on the chest, and by the Cruzeiro Topper N10 1999/2000 away shirt, a symbol of the transition to modern football with graphics and cuts typical of the late 1990s.

The big clubs of Belo Horizonte are also here: Atlético Mineiro is present with the Atlético Mineiro Umbro no. 7 2002/2003 home shirt, black and white vertical stripes in classic Umbro style, and with the Atlético Mineiro Diadora 5 2006/2007 away shirt, a Diadora away kit combining elegance and technical details. For lovers of Palmeiras green there is the Rhumell Palmeiras 7 1999/2000 home shirt, a typical late-1990s shirt with a prominent sponsor, deep shades of green and old-school numbering. Completing the Brazilian section is the São Paulo Penalty 1978 home shirt, an archive piece with a clean design and period Penalty logo, alongside the more recent São Paulo 2007/2008 n10 Reebok home shirt, which reinterprets the white, red and black colours in a modern key.

On the Argentine side, the collection offers some very high-profile pieces. For Boca Juniors there is the Boca Juniors Olan 1995/1996 number 10 long-sleeve away shirt, perfect for those who associate the Xeneizes with the most significant number in Argentine football, and the very hard-to-find Boca Juniors 10 1986/1987 Adidas home shirt, with its blue design, yellow horizontal band and period Adidas details, a real object of desire for collectors. River Plate is represented by the River Plate Adidas 2008/2009 home shirt, with the unmistakable red diagonal sash on a white background and the Adidas logo sealing one of the most iconic shirts in the world.

Rounding off the Argentine selection are the Fluminense Adidas N5 1999 home shirt and the more recent Adidas Fluminense Tele Santana 7 2013/2014 away shirt, which combine the Carioca club's traditional tricolour identity with modern graphic solutions; the Puma Colón Centenario 2005/2006 home shirt, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Santa Fe club; and the Brazil Penalty T-shirt, a lifestyle piece that brings the green and gold colours to casual wear. Together, these shirts, jackets and T-shirts form a selection designed for collectors, lovers of South American fútbol and fans who want to add a piece of the Maracanã, the Bombonera or the Monumental to their collection, straight from the Le 7 Sorelle catalogue.
