Check out Leão 1918's Fortaleza 2022 Copa Libertadores "la Dorada" football shirt below.
The Leão 1918 Fortaleza 2022 Copa Libertadores "la Dorada" football shirt was produced to mark the club's first ever Copa Libertadores campaign. Its name comes form the legend of the lost city of El Dorado, a city full of gold waiting to be discovered by adventurers. It is made by in-house brand Leão 1918 and has an off white base with gold details. A large map graphic covers the torso along with a Jaguar's head and a compass rose. The raglan sleeves are plain and the collar and cuffs are gold.
On the back of the neck is a special golden stamp with South America, the crest of Fortaleza and the word "Liberta" above it, besides the years 2022 and 1918, when the club was founded.
The shirt bears more than a passing resemblance to Atletico Mineiro's hugely popular fan-designed Manto da Massa jersey, which has the same base colour and a similar map graphic. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that Fortaleza's in-house designers took at least a small bit of inspiration from their compatriots' shirt.
Off white shorts and socks complete the new Leão 1918 Fortaleza 2022 Copa Libertadores "la Dorada" kit.
