The Inverted Jersey

Integrated campaign for Botafogo & Puma against racism

THE INVERTED JERSEY

In response to racist acts occurring all over the world,

Botafogo, a Brazilian club that has worn black and white stripes

for over 100 years, takes a stand inverting the colours

of its traditional number one jersey. The result? No one noticed.

And that’s exactly what we need to prove that there’s no difference

between black and white. #WeAreOne. The stunt was the third most

tweeted topic during the match, even shared by their rivals.
