SANTA CATARINA

This is a very unusual shirt for a couple of reasons. Firstly it's a Joinville shirt which is prety rare and secondly, it's a long sleeved Brazilian shirt! Uber rare me thinks. Joinville are from Santa Catarina state which Bira assures me is a very nice part of Brazil. Joinville's mascot as seen on the badge is a rabbit which seems remarkably mundane for a country with such interesting and remarkable zoology. The shirt is a bit of a departure for Champs as it is a lightweight stretchy materiel as opposed to heavier constructions used in other shirts. As with almost all my Brazilian shirts I have to thank Bira for sending it to me.
