Worn in a period in which famous Rio de Janeiro side Clube de Regatas do (CR) Flamengo became Brazilian champions, this adidas shirt has a certain anachronistic quality.
As beautiful as it is in its no-nonsense horizontal trunk striping/hoops, the design suggests a much earlier period in the context of what the German supplier was doing elsewhere in the early 1990s, with departure from the basic red-and-black “colours” limited to the Trefoil-based logo, the monogram crest and the “Lubrax” sponsor (x2) - all in white.
The hybrid overlapping-V-neck collar - matching the cuffs - and the shoulder-and-sleeve striping add to the stylishness of a great reminder of bygone era.
