Authentic 2002 Vasco da Gama Away Shirt by Umbro
Pick up an unquestioned staple of South American kit heritage with this original 2002 vasco da gama away shirt manufactured by Umbro. Representing the legendary Rio de Janeiro club, this away strip showcases one of the most recognizable and aesthetically revered shirt designs in global football history.
Rio Heritage & The Iconic Faixa Diagonal
This 2002 vasco da gama away shirt embodies the rich history of O Gigante da Colina. Built on a clean white polyester base, the jersey is defined by Vasco’s trademark black sash (faixa diagonal) running across the front torso, framed by sharp black sleeve trims and a classic ribbed v-neck collar.
The chest features the historic red Cross of the Order of Christ emblem (Cruz de Cristo/Cruz de Malta) stitched proudly over the heart, complemented by Umbro’s embroidered double-diamond branding on the right. During the early 2000s era, Vasco da Gama fielded iconic Brazilian talent and fan favorites, coming off their golden era of late-90s Copa Libertadores and Brasileirão domestic dominance. Crafted from lightweight, breathable early-2000s performance fabric, original Umbro releases for Vasco da Gama in well-preserved condition remain highly prized targets for South American shirt collectors and football purists alike.
