Sources: 16. Developments: 2. Palmeiras and Puma announced the launch of a new blue third jersey designed to honor the club’s Italian heritage and its former identity as Palestra Itália. The kit features the ‘Croce di Savoia’ (Savoy Cross), a symbol used by the club in 1916, and commemorates the 20th anniversary of Italy’s 2006 World Cup victory. The ‘SOMOS PALESTRA ITÁLIA’ campaign includes design elements such as gold typography, a map of Italy patch, and the phrase ‘Scoppia che la vittoria è nostra’. While the jersey was originally scheduled to make its on-field debut on August 23 during a Campeonato Brasileiro match against Vasco at Nubank Parque, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has prohibited its use for that fixture. The restriction stems from technical issues regarding the semi-automated offside technology installed at the stadium. Consequently, the official debut of the new uniform has been rescheduled for August 26, during the club’s 112th-anniversary match against Santos in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-20: Palmeiras unveils new Italian-inspired kit amid CBF debut ban Palmeiras unveiled a new blue third kit honoring its Italian heritage, but the CBF has blocked its debut against Vasco due to technical issues with semi-automated offside technology. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/inter-milan-202728-kit-details-emerge ### 2026-08-16: Palmeiras to debut new third kit honoring Italian roots Palmeiras plans to debut a new blue third kit by Puma on August 23 against Vasco, featuring symbols honoring the club's Italian heritage. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/palmeiras-to-debut-new-italian-themed-third-kit-in-august --- Cite as: Palmeiras unveiling new Italian-themed third kit.
