HOW Brazil’s football jersey was hijacked

Not a Brazilian but a fan of the national team since 1982 when my older brother first told me about the great Zico. I bought my first jersey in 1994 after they won the Cup. I actually wanted the blue one because I fell in love with that jersey after they played the Dutch team in that Cup. However, the blue ones were not popular at the time, and I could not find one in the stores. Over the years I've bought a few jerseys, traveled to Brazil a few times, learned Portuguese and made many Brazilian friends. Last July, I had a Zoom call with my friend in Rio and she said, "every time I see that shirt, I think of Bolsonaro". I knew it was time to retire the shirt. I told her that I live in Miami, people here wear all kinds of team sport shirts and most of the Brazilians here are right leaning. It wasn't until my last trip to Brazil later in August that I really understood the symbolism that the shirt has become. I have friends on both sides down there but it's a shame that some so beautiful, that represented excellence has become so polarizing. The fanboy in me will root for Brazil as always in the World Cup but I will wear the blue shirt and hope for the best because I love the country and the culture.

[@dwkickoff]

Thank you for sharing this story with us, Keane! The blue one in 1994 was a beauty, you're absolutely right. That Bebeto Romario partnership ;) those were the days. What are your friends in Brazil saying now after the election and ahead of the Qatar World Cup? Are they rooting for the team wearing their yellow jerseys or rather not?

[@dfk09]

@@dwkickoff I was there about a couple of weeks before the first turn in the elections. When I was in Rio at the time, Flamengo had a big game with Fluminense which they lost 2-1. That was the talk of the day in Rio. The following week, I was in Belo Horizonte and the group I was with were talking about Atlético. The National Team hardly came up unless I mentioned it. The National Team needs a good, deep run in the World Cup to get people excited about them again. I think the National Team does the best when there is no pressure or expectations on them. This may help this year's team because they have lost some relevancy. The 1994 team didn't have a lot of expectations on them. The 2002 team didn't and from what I read back in the day, the 1970 team didn't have a lot of expectations on them either. The 2006 and especially the 2014 team had a lot of pressure on them especially since '06 they were the defending champs and '14 they were the host nation. My friends will be rooting for them because the team is still a part of the national identity. If they have another 7-1 loss or Neymar becomes the butt of jokes and memes again like in '18 it may take some time for them to come back to relevancy. But in saying that, this team is loaded! They should be very competitive.

As a brazilian and as someone against Bolsonaro's government, I'm scared to wear the yellow shirt in the streets, not scared because violence is a possibility since things are very tense right now, but scared that people from any of the sides will think I'm a supporter of Bolsonaro's ideas, that's what scares me, and this it's not something we should worry about when using this shirt. After the 2014 cup I thought the greatest shame in wearing this shirt would be the 7x1, but this is nothing compared to what Bolsonaro and his supporters did with our country and our national symbols. It's sad that things have come to this. I will be using the shirt in the days that Brazil plays, but I'm still not confortable to use in a day to day situation.

[@99jean88]

The Jersey was used as a political tool because Brazil's politics is structured by a multiple party system. Bolsonaro's 2018 electoral campaign had this motto "Meu partido é o Brasil" (My party is Brazil), because he grew to the presidency by claiming to be an anti-system candidate, people supported him because he was a rally point against political parties. Before Bolsonaro, people used the color of the national team in protest to say "We don't belong to any party, we're brazillian". Anyway, it's false to believe the colors of the flag to be an apolitical thing. Countries are political by nature!

No. It was appropriated by the far-right because it's intrinsic to the far-right the desire to erase all minorities and blend everyone into a single entity.

[@putog7020]

Nota para os brasileiros: puto em português de Portugal significa moleque. I am from cabo verde (cape verde) an african nation archipelago, we were a colony of the portuguese, after independence we changed our flag, the flag was closely linked with the left wing party PAIGC (later PAICV) that fought for our independence (it was red, green and yellow). After rougly 15 years democracy was established the center-right winning party changed the constitution and flag (to mainly blue, with 3 stripes in the midle, 1 red between 2 white and 10 stars, the significance is on wikipedia if you want to know), although I don't like that party the change was good and perhaps necessary, it represented a change in our society to a more free, democratic one, that unlike other portuguese african colonies did not fully take place and now changing flag on those countries would be very hard to do (especially in Angola where it became a strong symbol of the country, and personally I don't think changing would be cool). The symbolic color of the party that changed the flag (MpD) is green (and recently, red too) so it didn't get too political throughout our history. The flag was gradually accepted and in 2013 after our first qualification for the African Cup (CAF) the whole country rallied behind the flag and our victories were celebrated with display of patriotism. I hope this sense of political meaning goes away from Brazil and the patriotism comes back!

[@wvw_one]

If we can call patriotism the act of defending your own country from mobsters that in past thrashed it, then yeah, I would say that the Brazilians are totally correct in protesting against a stolen election.

@@domomota1491 that would be true in a perfect world, but it's not how it works at all... As a matter of fact, CBF does indeed invest heavily on talent - they have training centers all over the country - but the ones that make money, besides players, in football are usually middle men: players' agents, sponsors representatives, board members of the club. Everyone gets a share of the huge money football moves around BUT THE CLUBS. Clubs being associations in Brazil is actually one of the main reasons why brazilian football is usually broke: laws on corporate governance have been quite lax for decades, so clubs have been riddled with bad, unprofessional administration full of corruption and terrible business decisions that have left most large clubs in the country operating at a deficit for decades. Things have been gradually improving in the last years, but if you check major brazilian clubs, they all run huge debts that drag them down immensely.

It is ridiculous to uphold others to a standard based entirely off of your own internalizations. To condemn a kid who wears it the same as all the kids generations before is just deplorable. To attempt to convert the very thing that is meant to bring the nation together as a divisive issue is inverted.

[@virusmyth4930]

that's what political ideology does, it braiwashes people to the point they are refusing to wear the jersey they werer always proud of and instead wear the communist red representing their favorite political candidate. to top it off, the socialist/communist ideology is an emotional one, (the victimization, the oppressor against the weak, the powerful employer vs the poor employee, the white patriarchy vs the racial minorities and so on and on...) so according to neuroscience when you become dominated by emotions you are prevented to engage your critical skills. emotions are the worst tool in the kit to form opinions and make decisions. worst of all, when you incorporate an ideology as part of who you are, your personality, your ego then reacts at any questioning of such ideology as it's being attacked itself, therefore those people react in a triggered manner as if they were facing some kind of existential threat, and all of that takes place without the person even realizing it, exactly BECAUSE it's all emotional, which makes it take place at the lymbic system and not at the neo-cortex where reasoning faculties happen. the person then becomes essentially a puppet in the hands of the puppeteers who control the narrative, therefore a slave of him/herself without even realizing. he or she becomes a zombie, which is a slave that's not even aware of his/her condition. gives a new meaning for the term WALKING DEAD

[@VictorLima-mv4ni]

On Sat, October 29th, last day before the election, Bolsonaro not only visited my city but my neighborhood (largest electoral college in Belo Horizonte) and he passed on my street. Being against everything he stands for, I protested amidst a sea of yellow and green. And there he was, sporting an yellow-and-green América jersey. It's never been about the national team. Too bad even our players are absolutely brainwashed by this extremist behaviour. Thanks for reporting, DW. Great journalism as per usual

I've always preferred the blue one (but then it has to do with personal taste). Obviously in recent years a political wing in the country has adopted our yellow jersey as if it were just their political ideology, which further paved my affinity for the "reserve jersey/number 2". A curiosity was that Brazil in the 1958 World Cup final (year of our first world title) had to play in blue because the opponent in the final was Sweden (also plays in yellow), and our head of delegation at the time, the late Mr. Paulo Machado de Carvalho, reassured the our players saying that "look, guys, Brazil will play with the blue jersey, because it is the color of the mantle of Nossa Senhora Aparecida (patroness of Brazil)". We were very blessed. 🙏🏻💙🇧🇷

[@yusuffulat6954]

Great topic !

[@nikolaivista920]

The people can reclaim the jersey all they want. But, the people cannot (and will not) reclaim national pride until a good government leads them to justice, equality of economic opportunity, peace, and freedom. As with most Latin American nations, I love Brazilians but I really hate their government/politicians! They take advantage of the people and oppress them all the time! It's sad!

[@Lexrezende]

Instead of creating a brand new flag that symbolized us as an independent nation and people, we adopted the same flag that the Portuguese created for us when we were a colony. We just put a blue circle symbolizing the Brazilian sky with a positivist motto. But the green that symbolizes the House of Braganza (Portuguese), the yellow that symbolizes the House of Habsburg (Austrian) and the diamond inspired in an Napoleonic army division flag remained. And the christian majority fervently defends the positivist motto lol.

[@vitormascarenhas4884]

Great video as always, guys. As a Brazilian who despises everything that Bolsonaro and his supporters represent, I can say that will be very difficult to wear this shirt once again, especially when our most famous player engages in the wannabe dictator campaign 30 days away from the World Cup. I don't know if one day we'll be able to wear this shirt with pride again.

[@Mateus_Carvalho]

@@vagrant-techart8278 Well, if it helps your narrative, Neymar's defense of the malcontent was based out of misconceptions and personal bias. He's antagonistic by nature and keen to push off against people who go at him. Given his status as a bit of a joke to a good chunk of the populace, he was keen on pushing against people who thought (and still probably think) he was an idiot. If you think by the slightest bit that he gives a fuck about the national constitution or anything that us commoners have to deal with, then you're just wrong. Guy lives in a different world and isn't afraid to flaunt so, the only reason we can understand about his support is literally ego. So, when he's confronted about a lack of connection between the national team and the nation's people, he'll use it to peddle his egomaniac matters as opposed to the real reasons there's this disconnect, CBF. Following the corruption hunt in FIFA that took down Blatter (which also went on to burn the Brazilian FA bad by disrupting some of their illegal money sources and by knocking out their key men), CBF has done its best to try and pursue any lucrative event they can get themselves in, which in turns means that the Brazilian national team has called places like Miami and Singapore home. The regular Brazilian doesn't have the money to travel to Miami nor can afford the time to watch a game played in a time fuse so far away from our native UTC -3. And even when CBF is forced to play at home, the tickets are ridiculously expensive - you can buy a month's worth of food with the sort of price CBF deems justifiable to watch one of the world's greatest teams. And after the election went the way it did, Neymar's back to being the closeted brat he's been for the past couple of years. I don't even think he's said anything positive about the result or the passing of the presidential torch so to speak. ...Shit, I guess it didn't help your narrative, my bad.
