The Brazil 2014 FIFA World Cup Home Soccer Jersey has recently been launched by Nike.
This kit uses the team's traditional yellow and green colors. These colors have been used since 1954.
The original blue color was dropped in favor of yellow after the team lost the World Cup at home in Brazil in 1950.
Following the colors of the countries national flag yellow and green were chosen to add patriotism to the countries soccer team.
The brand new Brazil 2014 FIFA World Cup Home Soccer Jersey is a simple yellow shirt designed by the team's kit manufacturer Nike.
The V shaped neckline is ultra modern with a fine green, ribbon trim that meets in a central V with a short extension forming a stylish placket.
The Nike Swoosh is embroidered in green and sits alongside the Brazil crest, above the crest are 5 green stars.
The 5 green stars on the Brazil 2014 FIFA World Cup Home Soccer Jersey signify the 5 times in which Brazil has lifted the World Cup.
They are currently the most successful nation having had the honor of being crowned champions more than any other team.
Italy has won 4 times, Germany 3, Argentina and Uruguay twice, France, England and Spain have won once each.
There is currently much debate as to which team wearing which 2014 World Cup Soccer Jersey will lift the trophy this summer.
Brazil is hot favorite playing on home soil and their recent form has been outstanding.
The prelude to the main event the Confederations Cup was held last summer, Brazil held onto their title as champions for the 3rd consecutive time winning every match.
The final match of the Confederations Cup was between Brazil and current World Cup champions Spain.
Brazil emerged victors winning 3-0. With Spain's ability to retain the title, and add a 2nd star to their 2014 FIFA World Cup Soccer Jersey already being questioned, this win has increased the argument for the likelihood of Brazil winning.
The host nation is definitely the favorites but certainly not the only contenders.
Also in contention is fellow South American team Argentina. They have been awarded an outstanding draw.
They will wear their 2014 World Cup soccer jersey to play in Group F alongside Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iran and Nigeria. Past meetings with Nigeria and Bosnia indicate that Argentina will easily finish top of this group.
Currently the only negative for the Argentines is the Group F curse, whereby no team drawn in Group F has ever lifted the World Cup trophy.
Both Spain and Germany have launched their new 2014 World Cup soccer jersey. Both of these teams are in contention as possible winners.
Spain as the current title holders and ranked as FIFA number 1 have a tough draw in Group B alongside Netherlands.
Favorite European team Germany also have a tough draw in Group G alongside USA, Portugal and Ghana but are firm favorites to finish top of the group and proceed to the next round.
Whichever team you support this summers World Cup finals is sure to be unmissable soccer.
Spring will see the last round of friendly matches before the start of the tournament.
