LEAKED: Rejected Flamengo Home Kit to Become 22-23 Third Kit

Update: Having originally rejected the design as the home kit, Flamengo's council reportedly recently approved the 'wavy stripes' look as third kit for the 2022-23 season. That's what's being reported by Coluna do Fla.

The design had originally been proposed as home kit in October, but was disapproved by the club council.

Original Report - Flamengo Disapproves Adidas' Proposed 22-23 Home Kit

For the 2022-2023 season, Adidas wanted to introduce all-new “wavy” stripes for the club. There are no images of the proposed Adidas Flamengo 2022-23 kit design but detailed description.

Adidas' motto for the kit was that the flag becomes a shirt

The Flamengo 22-23 Adidas design was a wavy take on the classic stripes - the design of the stripes varied the widths, inspired by waving flags. The motto of the shirt would be “In 2022, the flag becomes a shirt” and many advisers compared it to the Copacabana boardwalk. The sleeves were fully striped as well.

After the rejection, it was suggested that it be put back on the agenda, but as a third shirt.

According to reports by journalists who followed the vote, the shirt caused a shock for many advisers who asked that it not even be voted on. However, it ended up happening and the shirt was not approved, having been rejected by 137 to 68.
