The Brazilian and North Korean teams in 2010.
winning design was a yellow jersey with green trim and blue shorts with white trim drawn by Aldyr Garcia Schlee, a nineteen year old from Pelotas. The new colours were first used in March 1954 in a match against Chile, and have been used ever since. The use of blue as the away kit colour dates from the 30s, but it became the permanent second choice accidentally in the 1958 World Cup final. Brazil's opponents were Sweden, who also wear yellow, and a draw gave to the home team Sweden the right to play in yellow. Brazil, who travelled with no spare kit, hurriedly purchased a set of blue shirts and sewed on emblems cut from their yellow shirts. Brazil have never failed to qualify for the FIFA World Cup, and with 5 titles, have won the cup more than any other team. A gold background colour indicates that Brazil won the tournament. A red border colour indicates that the tournament was/will be hosted in Brazil. *Draws include knockout matches decided on penalty kicks.
