Atlético Mineiro 1996 Away Shirt

Description

Away shirt worn by Atlético Mineiro during the 1996 season.

The shirt features a bold white base combined with one of the most distinctive graphic designs of the decade. A sweeping pink curve runs across the front of the shirt and over the left shoulder, intersected by a contrasting black curve filled with broken horizontal line detailing that continues onto the shoulder panel. The unconventional geometric styling gives the shirt a vibrant mid-90s aesthetic, while the black collar and cuffs, both decorated with a white diamond geometric pattern, complete the design with an unmistakably retro finish.

Atlético Mineiro enjoyed a highly competitive 1996 season, establishing themselves as one of the strongest teams in Brazilian football. In the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Atlético finished 4th in the regular season before defeating Atlético Paranaense in the quarter-finals. Their title challenge ended in the semi-finals against Portuguesa after a narrow aggregate defeat.

The club also reached the final of the Campeonato Mineiro and advanced to the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil, where they were eliminated by rivals Cruzeiro. On the continental stage, Atlético competed in the inaugural Copa Master de CONMEBOL, finishing as runners-up and further reinforcing their status among South America’s leading clubs during the mid-1990s.

The squad featured several standout names, including legendary goalkeeper Cláudio Taffarel, who brought world-class experience to the side following Brazil’s 1994 World Cup triumph. Up front, Renaldo enjoyed an outstanding campaign, finishing as the Campeonato Brasileiro’s joint top scorer with 16 goals.

This away shirt is remembered as one of Atlético Mineiro’s most daring and memorable kit designs, perfectly reflecting the bold creativity of 1990s football aesthetics and a season where the club consistently challenged at the top level of Brazilian football.

Washing Instructions

Care Instructions To keep your shirt looking its best for years to come, please follow these guidelines carefully.

🌡️ Temperature

Wash at 30°C maximum. Higher temperatures can damage the fabric, fade colours, and crack printed lettering.

🔄 Cycle

Use a gentle or delicate cycle only. Avoid heavy spin cycles which can distort the shirt shape.

👕 Inside Out

Always turn the shirt inside out before washing to protect the back print, badges, and any embroidery.

🧴 Detergent

Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners as these can degrade print quality.

💨 Drying

Air dry only — lay flat or hang away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry as heat will shrink fabric and damage prints.

🔥 Ironing

Do not iron directly over printed areas or badges. If needed, iron on the reverse side only using a low heat setting.

Do not dry clean. Do not wring or twist. Wash separately from items with zips or rough textures that could snag the fabric.

⚠️ Back Print & Badge Care Printed names, numbers, and woven badges are particularly sensitive to heat and abrasion. Always wash inside out, never iron over them directly, and avoid contact with rough surfaces during washing.
