Brazil Dropping the 5 Stars in the Jersey

Due to a rule of the IOC, national squads are not allowed to display the badges of any confederations of a specific sport. Only the national olympic committee or the national flag is allowed. Given that the Brazilian national committee has a different sponsor than the Brazilian Confederation of Football and that Nike (even knowing that rule before the tournament) could not come with a creative solution, this is how we will play from now on. I know, it looks like anybody else without the 5 stars. But with the kind of game that the Dunga era has been shwoing so far, it’s not a bad idea to hide a badge with so much history. I miss the badge (despite the fact that people in charge of CBF are nasty), but I find ironic how with Dunga how even the yellow jersey does not remain the same.

ps: In the first match, the badge was there and CBF was fined.

ps2: Nike, thank you for being creative and supportive. Now, take a look at the Adidas kits in the same tournament. Americans. They should not be allowed to be even close to football management.

ps3: First time “watching” the Olympics in the US. Horrible. Can’t the US join the rest of the world for once? Yes, go and play World Series and Superbowls. Thank you online broadcasting.
