The new Flamengo kits pay respect to their 1981 Intercontinental Cup title win over Liverpool F.C. which officially made them world champions in club football in the days before the FIFA Club World Cup. The home shirt is in Flamengo's traditional red and black hoops, uninterrupted at the sides but with quite a modern styling at the top of the shirt. A nod to the 1981 cup victory can be seen on the left side of the chest with a watermarked logo commemorating the victory with the words 'Campeão do Mundo' meaning World Champions and the place and date, Tokyo, December 13th 1981. On the opposite side is Flamengo's alternate logo which is a stylised C.R.F. and a star over the top also denoting the victorious '81 season.
The away kit accompanying the home follows the same design style except with the majority of the shirt transformed to white, a variation on the sleeves and collar colour have also been applied. Again the 1981 motif can be found on the left of the chest only now with a more prominent red-black-gold colour scheme.
At this time the club are yet to announce a main sponsor for the front of the shirt but a Banco BMG sponsor can be found on the sleeves.
