These are the new Flamengo kits produced by Olympikus for the 2011 Brazilian Série A season.
Flamengo are reportedly the most popular team in Brazil with the estimated amount of fans being around the 35 million mark. As well as that they also one of the most successful clubs in Brazilian football winning almost every major competition trophy available to them in their 99 year history as a football team.
The Rio clubs new kit are made by Brazilian manufacturer Olympikus who, although not present in Europe, have a few high profile teams in South America to their name which includes Racing Club, Lanús and Argentinos Juniors
The new Flamengo kits pay respect to their 1981 Intercontinental Cup title win over Liverpool F.C. which officially made them world champions in club football in the days before the FIFA Club World Cup. The home shirt is in Flamengo's traditional red and black hoops, uninterrupted at the sides but with quite a modern styling at the top of the shirt. A nod to the 1981 cup victory can be seen on the left side of the chest with a watermarked logo commemorating the victory with the words 'Campeão do Mundo' meaning World Champions and the place and date, Tokyo, December 13th 1981. On the opposite side is Flamengo's alternate logo which is a stylised C.R.F. and a star over the top also denoting the victorious '81 season.
The away kit accompanying the home follows the same design style except with the majority of the shirt transformed to white, a variation on the sleeves and collar colour have also been applied. Again the 1981 motif can be found on the left of the chest only now with a more prominent red-black-gold colour scheme.
At this time the club are yet to announce a main sponsor for the front of the shirt but a Banco BMG sponsor can be found on the sleeves.

The shorts rip of the Adidas short template. It's a fact.
the training uniform is not been showing here, but you can take a look in then here:
I think they it is amazing.
and the white kit is a homage to the 1981 victory against Liverpool in Tokyo, considered a "world championship", what brings that star over the symbol of the team.

Tokyo in portuguese is TÓQUIO, on the shirt is TOKIO. LOL
"People from vasco" think they can write in English

Congratulations on your new achievement!

é o bonde do Mengão Sem Freiooo!!
greetings from Santos.
"Tokio" is spelled in spanigh, I guess.
Now they're going to release this version as spanish version, then english version, then in japanese and in portuguese.
but the non-portuguese versions, change only tokyo written form. It's still world champion december 13th 81 in portuguese.
#epicFail
Also, it's either Tokyo or Toquio. Tokio is wrong. Such a mistake in a big team t-shirt like this is really cringe worthy!
.
last years olympikus kits were for me a bit dodgy but these new ones have come on a long way i really like them and think they look great without sponsers(i fully expect sponsers to be added)
all in all a big thumbs up from me
