Paris Saint-Germain ace Neymar launches new Brazil World Cup kit in retro Samba Gold from Mexico 1970

NEYMAR has launched Brazil's new kit ahead of the 2018 World Cup, reminiscent of the Samba Gold colour the South Americans donned in Mexico 1970.

And the injured Paris Saint-Germain star will be hoping this jersey will bring the Selecao the same luck in Russia this summer as Tite's side target an unprecedented sixth World Cup.

Shirt designers took a colour swatch of the top back to the Football Museum in Sao Paulo, matching in with the same shade of yellow Brazil used in 1970.

The likes of Pele, Carlos Alberto, Jairzinho and Rivelinho all dazzled in Mexico in the iconic Samba Gold when games where broadcast in colour for the first time.

Pete Hoppins, Nike Football Apparel Senior Design Director, has claimed Nike wanted to capture the spirit of the kit from nearly 50 years ago.

He said: "The bright, vivid yellow of the Brazilians combined with their style of play really made an impact on viewers around the world.

"It’s one of the most iconic moments in the history of football, and we wanted to channel that energy into the 2018 National Team collection."

Before adding: "Being Brazilian is about rhythm, a certain type of movement.

"You see it in the dance, you see it in the art and you certainly see it on the football pitch. Only Brazilians play this way."

As well as the vivid yellow shining through, the phrase 'voce e a selecao'- which translates to "your selection" - runs around the design.
