This is the original Brazilian national top worn by Pelé during the 1958 FIFA World Cup game where he scored two of Brazil's five goals against Sweden in the final, marking the beginning of his career as an international football star at just 17 years old. For international matches, kit colours are chosen to communicate a team's national identity and the Brazilian shirt is one of the most famous and recognisable kits in the world. Final weeks to see it IRL in our exhibition #DesigningFootball⚽️, closing on Mon 29 Aug - Members go free 👕: Pelé's kit, 1957 FIFA World Cup, @nationalfootballmuseum, on loan from The Neville Evans Collection
