Our Lady of Aparecida
Did you know... Brazil's iconic blue away kit was born out of a kit clash and deep cultural faith. During the 1958 World Cup Final against host Sweden, both teams wore yellow. Without a second kit, Brazil bought plain blue shirts hours before kickoff and stitched on their crests.

They chose blue as a tribute to Our Lady of Aparecida, Brazil's patron saint.
