Corinthians Reveal Nike 2013/14 Third Shirt
Brazilian Club Corinthians have unveiled their new Nike third shirt a year to the day after their memorable victory over Boca Juniors in the final of the 2012 Libertadores Cup. The attractive blue and white number completes the set for the Corinthians 2013 campaign.
The kit is inspired by a previous strip worn on November 16, 1965, when Corinthians represented the Brazilian national team in a friendly against Arsenal in London. The new third kit features a royal blue jersey with a white classic polo collar and white cuffs and is paired with blue shorts and white socks.
The shirt features a double-sided collar and sleeves that reveal a combination of black with white pinstripes, reflecting the club's classic home kit when folded back. The inscription "És do Brasil o clube mais brasileiro - 16 de novembro 1965" is on the inside of the collar, which is a reference to a part of the club anthem and another tribute to the Arsenal match.
The white home shirt is inspired by the kit of 1990, the year in which they won their first Brazilian National Championship. It features a black polo collar and is paired with traditional black shorts and white socks. The black away shirt is designed with a V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs in the same color and is complemented by white shorts and black socks.
