Brazilian club copied Barcelona's jersey pattern Far too similar not to notice

There is a moment when ideas fail and it seems like reliving a sort of déjà vu. This must have been the thought of the Blaugrana fans when they first saw the Mirassol Futebol Clube jerseys designed by Physicus. Both the first and second jerseys of the Brazilian club, which currently plays in the Série C, the third tier of Brazilian football, and in the Paulista Série A1, the top tier of the São Paulo league, pick up on the jacquard pattern created by Nike for the third jersey of the 2019 blaugrana, inspired by and dedicated to the city.

It is not clear what prompted Physicus to take one of Nike's patterns and then put it on the Mirassol Futebol Clube jersey. But the pattern is not the only element that Physicus has taken from Nike, both the first and second jersey take up the template of another historic swoosh model, that of Brazil. Inspirations that have not at all gone unnoticed by fans who have immediately noticed the substantial similarity with the models offered by Nike in the past.
