=== Uniforms === {{Commons|Brazil national football team kits}} {{Commons|Brazil national football team kits (goalkeeper kits)}} Brazil's first team colors were white with blue collars, but following the defeat at [[Maracanã (stadium)|Maracanã]] in the 1950 World Cup, the colors were criticized for lacking patriotism. With permission from the Brazilian Sports Confederation, the newspaper ''[[Correio da Manhã (Brazil)|Correio da Manhã]]'' held a competition to design a new kit incorporating the four colors of the Brazilian flag.<ref name="p64">''Futebol'', p64</ref> The winning design was a yellow jersey with green trim and blue shorts with white trim drawn by [[Aldyr Garcia Schlee]], a nineteen-year-old from [[Pelotas]].<ref name="p64"/> The new colors were first used in March 1954 in a match against [[Chile national football team|Chile]], and have been used ever since. [[Topper (sports)|Topper]] were the manufacturers of Brazil's kit up to and including the match against [[Wales national football team|Wales]] on 11 September 1991; [[Umbro]] took over before the next match, versus [[Yugoslavia national football team|Yugoslavia]] in October 1991.<ref>{{cite news|title=Topper 1991 Brazil Match Worn Home Shirt|date=3 January 2018|access-date=3 February 2018|work=footballshirtculture.com|publisher=Football Shirt Culture|url=http://www.footballshirtculture.com/Vintage-Football-Shirts/topper-1991-brazil-match-worn-home-shirt-cleber.html}}</ref> [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] began making Brazil kits in late 1996, in time for the 1997 Copa América and the 1998 World Cup.<ref>{{cite web|title=FIFA World Cup 1998 Group A|access-date=3 February 2018|work=historicalkits.co.uk|publisher=Historical Football Kits|url=http://historicalkits.co.uk/international/tournaments/fifa-world-cup/1998/1998-group-a.html}}</ref> The use of blue and white as the second kit colors owes its origins to the defunct latter-day Portuguese monarchy and dates from the 1930s, but it became the permanent second choice accidentally in the [[1958 FIFA World Cup final|1958 World Cup final]]. Brazil's opponents were Sweden, who also wore yellow, and a draw gave the home team, Sweden, the right to play in yellow. Brazil, who traveled with no second kit, hurriedly purchased a set of blue shirts and sewed the badges taken from their yellow shirts on them.<ref>''Futebol'', p67</ref> ==== Kit sponsorship ==== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left" !
