Nike ✠ Vasco da Gama: The Jersey of Courage. Celebrating Vasco da Gama's history of social and political activism, such as pioneering the election of a Black president and supporting LGBTQIA+ rights, Nike launched a new kit inspired by the club's acts of courage. The design uses the club's iconic diagonal stripe as a symbol of overcoming adversity. To maintain authenticity, the campaign featured local Vasco supporters and youth academy players who graduated to the professional team.
