Fluminense Football Club was founded on July 21, 1902. Oscar Cox introduced football to Rio. He played in Switzerland during his studies in Lausanne. When he returned to Rio, aged 22, he gathered a group of men who also wanted to play this as-yet relatively unknown sport.

After playing some matches in Rio and in São Paulo, they decided to found a club. The foundation meeting took place on 21 July 1902, at the home of Horácio da Costa Santos on Rua Marques de Abrantes 51. Oscar Cox was elected the first president. Fans are called "tricolores", a reference to the team's three colours (claret, white and green).

    Does the Unimed logo on the back of the shirt stay there? Is there room for the player\'s names to go underneath? Anyway, it\'s a great shirt. Nice strong, broad stripes. I\'ll look forward to when Adidas drops their logo from the centre of their shirts.
