A genuine relic from one of the most beloved teams in football history, this Brazil national team home jersey was match worn during the 1981-82 period by the legendary Sócrates, midfield conductor of the iconic 1982 World Cup squad. Known as much for his philosophy, political activism, and cigarette habit as for his elegant, deep-lying playmaking, Sócrates captained a Brazilian side widely regarded as one of the most beautiful attacking teams never to win a World Cup, undone by Italy in a classic 1982 second-round match.
The jersey is rendered in Brazil's unmistakable canary yellow with a green ringed collar and cuffs, a small feather-and-leaf emblem on the chest, and the CBF crest featuring the World Cup trophy and four stars marking Brazil's championship history at the time. 'BRASIL' is printed beneath the crest in blue lettering, while the back of the shirt carries a bold green number "8", Sócrates' familiar squad number throughout his international career.
Includes a letter of authenticity from MEARS and a letter of provenance from Brazilian footballer, Joel Camargo, a member of Brazil's 1970 World Cup champions squad, who played a generation before Sócrates and received this shirt directly as a gift.
