All of this of course despite what @ncustisTheSun has to say haha #FootballHipster https://twitter.com/FKMPodcast/status/1355222487534075907?s=20
It so happens that I have one #FootballShirt from each team, so why not post a few photos and some info I've largely plagiarised from @Wikipedia ?
This is a beautiful @Palmeiras 2018-19 third shirt by @adidasfootball , the final the brand with the #ThreeStripes produced for the #Verdao before the switch to @pumafootball
They went out with a bang with @adidasbrasil winning the 2018 @Brasileirao in this shirt, their tenth national title (a Brazilian record). The club also won the #CopaLibertadores in 1999.
The club was founded as 'Palestra Italia' in #SaoPaolo -largely - like @BocaJrsOficial - by Italian immigrants. The team even originally played in blue like @azzurri. The 'P' of 'Palestra' (Gymnasium) is retained on the club crest today.
Eight white stars representing both the month the club was founded (Aug) in 1914 & the initial eight Sao Paolo state titles it won in as 'Palestra Italia'. The red star was added in 2017, celebrating the club’s 1951 #CopaRio victory vs @juventusfcen
This rather Smart @SantosFC 2019/20 away shirt pays homage to 90s #footballdesign and is testament to the excellent work @UmbroBrasil have been doing in recent seasons.
#Pele 's @SantosFC was founded in 1912 in the eponymous city.
One of Brazil's most successful sides, #SantosFC
have won countless league titles, 3 #CopaLibertadores (1962, 1963 & 2011) and 2 #IntercontinentalCups (1962, 63)... earning them the attractive moniker Os Santasticos
One of Brazil's most successful sides, #SantosFC

The crest (or variations of it) seems to have been in use since the club's formation, with black representing 'nobility' and white representing 'peace' - allegedly. The two gold stars represent the 2 @ClubWorldCups cup victories during the 1960s. #SantosFC

In any case, obrigado for reading this far!
Best of luck again @SantosFC & @Palmeiras - I'm off to switch it on.
