Corinthians may homage Ayrton Senna with a jersey According to reports from GloboEsporte, the club's third kit may have the colors of Senna's Lotus

UPDATE: Finally the rumors have been confirmed: Corinthians has really launched a jersey dedicated to the F1 champion, a great supporter of the Timão. An absolutely unique item already available in the official online store of the Brazilian club.

A special jersey in memory of Ayrton Senna? Only a few months and we will see it on the Brazilian grounds: according to what was written by GloboEsporte.com a few days ago (and we really want to trust it!), Nike Football, in collaboration with the Ayrton Senna Institute, will make Corinthians 3rd shirt in tribute to the great F1 champion, 30 years after the victory of his first title. Another great initiative by the Timão, who already in 2014, to remember the 20 years of the death of his great supporter, had decided to wear yellow helmets before a Brazilian cup match.

The new shirt, whose official details are not yet known, but there's only an exclusive photo, should be worn between September and October and will present on a black background 41 horizontal gold stripes, as many were the victories in Formula 1. The colors that have been chosen instead recall those of the Lotus with here it competed between 1985 and 1986.
