Santos and Umbro unveiled a third special edition kit honoring the legend of Club Neymar Jr. and his first unforgettable fate with the team.
The Brazilian international reached worldwide importance through the Santos Academy, making 225 appearances and scoring 136 goals before joining Barcelona in 2013. He returned to the club in January 2025, marking an emotional return more than a decade later.
The new shirt brings back emblematic entirely blue design – a look associated with some of the most memorable eras of Santos. It has a turbilly tonal graphic on the front and sleeves, as well as several thoughts thoughtful to the heritage of Neymar.
A classic polo collar pays tribute to Neymar’s overturned collar style, while the sentence “I’m leaving, but … I’ll come back!”“(” I am leaving, but … I will come back! “) Is printed on the back of the neck – a reference to the farewell message of the attacker in 2013.
On the hem before, a special patch displays a crown and the word “príncipe” (prince) – Neymar’s nickname at the club. The design subtly integrates its n ° 10 and the letter “n” in typography.
Neymar and the team started the kit on June 1 in a series of Serie a against Botafogo at the Urbano Caldeira stadium.
Unfortunately, it was not the return of fairy tale that many hoped – Santos fell 1-0, and Neymar was sent in the 76th minute after trying to score with his hand in a moment recalling the infamous “hand of God” by Diego Maradona.
To say, this particular moment will not be on future tribute kits.
