Atletico Paranaense 2004 Home 10 Football Shirt [L]

An original Atlético Paranaense home football shirt from the 2004 season, manufactured by Umbro. 

Home model Atlético Paranaense z 2004produced by Umbro in size L, dates from a very successful period in the history of the club from Curitiba. The team, known today as Athletico Paranaense, is one of the most distinctive teams in Brazilian football outside the traditional group of major clubs from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. In 2001 Atlético won their first Brazilian league title, whilst the season 2004 finished second in the competition Campeonato Brasileiro, confirming their leading position in domestic football.

The shirt was produced in the club’s traditional style black and red colour scheme, based on the classics vertical stripes. The most distinctive feature of the design is the way in which the stripes gradually change shape towards the top of the shirt – the red becomes less and less dominant, and the areas around the shoulders and chest take on a decidedly a darker, almost uniformly black surface. This gives the classic pinstripe a much more dynamic and unusual character.

There is a sponsor’s logo printed on the front Caro, which really stands out against the black-and-red design. The whole look is complemented by the distinctive Umbro details and a cut typical of South American T-shirts from the early 21st century.

Atlético Paranaense was founded in 1924 in Curitiba, and over the following decades it established itself as one of the most important clubs in the state of Paraná. Characteristic red and black colours, the development of the club’s infrastructure and its successes at national and, later, international level have enabled the team to forge a strong, instantly recognisable identity within Brazilian football.

This is an offer for collectors and fans looking for an original Atlético Paranaense home shirt from 2004, produced by Umbro, with a distinctive a black-and-red gradient pattern of vertical stripes and sponsor imprint Caro, from the season concluded by the club Brazilian runners-up.
