Nike has unveiled the new Brazil basketball uniform, to be debuted when the Brazil's men's basketball team takes on the USA in an exhibition game at the United Center in Chicago on August 16. While Brazil's soccer team may have failed miserably in the World Cup, Brazilian sports fans will hope their basketball team can perform better in this beautiful new uniform.
Both the home and away versions of the new Brazil basketball uniform feature the prominent green and yellow hues featured on the country's national flag. These hues are meshed together in a speed graphic on the side of the jersey and extending across the side of the shorts.
The jerseys feature a flocked lining on the inside of the neck that allows athletes to comfortably wipe excess sweat from their faces while in the thick of the action. The uniform is also Nike's lightest ever.
