MY THOUGHTS

Similar to the Guarani shirt I bought this when the price dropped to a unmissable value. This shirt though has a bit more about it compared tho the Guarani one. The main attraction of this shirt is the unique and interesting spiral design that extends outwards from the center of the shirt. What is weird though is that the design is also present on the back of the shirt but doesn't follow the same pattern as it does on the front. I do quite like the idea of having the sponsors down the sides of the shirt.

RATING: 6/10

RANDOM CLUB FACT

On August 14, 1920 (the same day of the 1385 Battle of Aljubarrota), the five Paulista clubs representing the Portuguese community of São Paulo (Lusíadas Futebol Club, Portugal Marinhense, Associação Cinco de Outubro, Associação Atlética Marquês de Pombal and Esporte Club Lusitano) met at Salão da Câmara Portuguesa de Comércio to merge, and founded Associação Portuguesa de Esportes. They chose the colors of Portugal: green and red. The club merged with Mackenzie College in 1920, and was then renamed Mackenzie-Portuguesa.
