The new S.C. Internacional kit designs for the 2013 season are inspired by the Rio Grande do Sul flag and mischievous club mascot Saci (a one-legged boy with a red cap prominent in Brasilian folklore).
The color inspiration is represented in three tonal diagonal stripes as a reference to the flag of Rio Grande do Sul. Inside the shirt back sits a graphic of the first emblem of the club. On the top of the club's badge is Saci's cap. The shorts are white, with a thin, red, vertical stripe on each side. The socks are also white, with a vertical red line on each calf and the inscription "SCI".
