Cruzeiro & adidas Launch Third Kit In Honour Of The São Francisco River

The connection between Cruzeiro Esporte Clube and the state of Minas Gerais runs deep, and the club’s latest third kit for the 2025/26 season draws inspiration from a natural landmark that embodies that bond: the São Francisco River. Also known as “Velho Chico,” the river flows through the heart of Minas Gerais, and its spirit is woven into the design of the new jersey.

Design Inspired by the River’s Journey

The shirt features a gradient of blue tones, moving from deep navy to light sky blue. This transition mirrors the changing hues of the São Francisco River along its 2,800-kilometer course to the Atlantic Ocean. Subtle graphic patterns spread across the fabric, suggesting the movement and rhythm of flowing water.

Gold accents add contrast. The adidas three stripes and the club crest appear in a metallic finish that evokes sunlight reflecting off the river’s surface. Two side stripes run down the torso, and the full kit is completed with matching blue shorts and socks for a unified look.

A Tribute to Heritage and Identity

The São Francisco River is a symbol of life, tradition, and identity for the region — qualities that align closely with Cruzeiro’s own history. Both the river and the club originate in Minas Gerais, carry deep cultural significance, and connect generations through shared pride.

Launch Campaign Features Players from Both Squads

To introduce the kit, adidas and Cruzeiro staged a photoshoot with athletes from the men’s and women’s teams. Representing the Raposa were Lucas Villalba, Kaiki Bruno, Lucas Silva, and Christian. The Cabulosas were represented by Byanca Brasil, Vitória Calhau, and Leticia Ferreira. The images capture the spirit of a club that moves forward with strength and heritage.
