"The proposed red jersey for Brazil's national football team has ignited outrage among right-wing supporters who view red as a symbol of the left."
"Conservative governor Romeu Zema expressed his disapproval by theatrically discarding a mock-up of the red shirt, claiming, 'Our team's shirt will never be red!'"
"The Brazilian Football Confederation was compelled to deny the authenticity of the red jersey images, emphasizing a commitment to traditional yellow and blue."
"Football purists across all political affiliations criticized the red jersey proposal, with former player Walter Casagrande labeling it as idiocy."
The recent speculation about the Brazilian Football Confederation considering a red jersey for the national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup has provoked significant backlash from right-wing supporters and football purists alike. Many view the color red as a symbol of the left and associated parties like Lula's Workers' Party. Responses included theatrical rejections from prominent conservatives, and ultimately the CBF issued a denial, reaffirming their commitment to maintaining the team's iconic yellow and blue kits, with no official plans for a color change.
