Featured is a true Pelé rarity. The legendary footballer's away Brazil National Team worn shirts are not nearly as frequently offered as the relatively ubiquitous home (yellow) examples. The away shirt was used very seldom as Brazil almost always played in yellow, however it was avaialble at every match as a reserve kit and also used during training sessions and for unofficial friendly matches. This round collar example was worn by Pelé during the 1970 campaign at some point and was gifted to another world renowned Brazilian footballer, Garrincha as evidenced by a letter of provenance from Garrincha's daughter that accompanies the shirt. The shirt has the embroiderd CBD (Brazilian Sports Federation) colorful crest on the left chest and the striker's number 10 is in white stitching on the reverse. The athleta tagging is sewn into the back collar and the overall usuage appears light as it has been laundered and stored away for a long period of time with our consigner in Brazil. Comes with a letter of provenance from Garrincha's daughter and a Full LOA from Sports Investors.
