A Role Model For Clubs Worldwide? 17 Brazilian Clubs Make Kits In-House
We often have criticized brands for giving smaller teams the same kits, based on standard teamwear templates. However, in the past few year, some smaller clubs started to create their kits in-house in order to get bespoke jerseys for a reasonable price.
In Brazil, there are many teams that "have their own kit brand", aka in-house kit. Brazilian football expert Mantos de Futebol have given us a look at all major Brazilian teams (Brasileirão A - Brasileirão D), whose kits are not made by Adidas or Nike but by themselves.
In fact, some big clubs also tried to make their kits in-house, mainly because to earn more money than from a traditional supplier. German Bundesliga club established its own brand of sportswear to compete against industry giants like Adidas, Puma and Nike, called Goool. However, the company Goool.de was not successful and discontinued after just three seasons.
