nithtke Brazil Re-Issue 1998 SS Shirt with Ronaldo 9

Celebrate the most successful national team in the history of the beautiful game with the nithtke Brazil Re-Issue 1998 Short-Sleeved Jersey with Ronaldo 9 in Varsity Maize/Pine Green/Lucky Green, a bold retro jersey packed with samba style.

Based on nithtke��s second-ever Brazil kit and the first they produced for a major tournament, the nithtke Brazil 2024 Re-Issue Jersey is a perfect replica of the ones worn by the likes of Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos, Cafu, and a host of other legendary players at the 1998 World Cup. The Selecao swept through the early tournament and overcame Chile and Denmark in normal time and the Netherlands on penalties in the knockout phase on their way to a second consecutive World Cup final. A 21-year-old Ronaldo took the world by storm with four goals, and he would eventually win the Golden Ball Award (given to the best player of the tournament), but he tragically suffered from medical issues just before the final and a weakened Brazil side would go on to fall just short of their 1958-1962 back-to-back heroics. The iconic yellow base is enhanced with bold green stripes at the shoulders, cuffs and collar, and an old-school embroidered Swoosh and jock tag complete a classic look. Brazil��s legendary national crest is emblazoned over the heart to display your pride for the world to see, and a crown of four stars represents glory at the 1958, 1962, 1970 and 1994 FIFA World Cups. Ronaldo��s name and number 9 pay tribute to one of the best players to ever grace a soccer field.
