Atlético Mineiro 2008 Centenary Home Shirt

Description

Home shirt worn by Atlético Mineiro during the club’s centenary season in 2008.

The shirt features Atlético Mineiro’s iconic black and white vertical stripes in a clean and traditional layout, celebrating 100 years of the club’s history with a timeless design. A solid black collar and matching black cuffs give the shirt a classic finish, reinforcing the elegant and historic feel of this special centenary edition. The minimalist approach reflected both the heritage of the club and the significance of the milestone season.

The 2008 season marked Atlético Mineiro’s centenary year, celebrating 100 years since the club’s foundation on 25 March 1908. While the campaign was filled with tributes and commemorative events honouring the club’s history, performances on the pitch were mixed across domestic competitions.

Atlético Mineiro reached the Campeonato Mineiro final but suffered defeat to rivals Cruzeiro, ultimately finishing as runners-up after a difficult first leg. In the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the club ended the season in 12th place following an inconsistent campaign that narrowly missed out on higher continental qualification positions. The team also reached the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil before being eliminated by Botafogo.

The squad featured experienced players and fan favourites, with Marques finishing as the club’s top scorer with 12 goals. Other important contributors included Pedro Paulo, defender Leandro Almeida, and goalkeeper Diego Alves. Off the pitch, Alexandre Kalil became club president during the season, beginning an important period of restructuring and rebuilding for Atlético Mineiro.

This centenary shirt is remembered as a tribute to Atlético Mineiro’s rich tradition and loyal support, symbolising a historic milestone in the club’s history and the pride of one of Brazil’s most passionate fanbases.

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.
