It was in a contest, after the fateful Maracanazo, that everything changed. Until then, the Brazilian team entered the field with a white uniform. The dispute was promoted by the Rio de Janeiro newspaper Correio da Manhã and won by a Brazilian, who lived his entire life on the border with Uruguay.

This virtual exhibition, held at Google Arts&Culture, recounts this story through documents from the time, showing how Aldyr Garcia Schelee was responsible for bringing yellow to the national team’s shirt and establishing it as a new national tradition.
