Nike have unveiled the new Brazil kits for the World Cup in Russia this summer, in a nod to 'Brasilian culture' with vibrant colours.

Brazil international stars including Neymar, Dani Alves and Thiago Silva modelled this year's World Cup kit. Neymar will be aiming to win his first ever World Cup, whilst the team will be hoping to claim their sixth FIFA World Cup title.

Given that Brazil will wear their usual colours, there are few surprises in the squad designs. The home kit, which was leaked a few days ago, is a yellow shirt, with green details on the neck. The shorts are blue and the socks are white with yellow and green details. The home kit will be worn for the first time in a friendly against Germany on 27th March. The away strip, which will be worn against Russia in an international friendly next Friday, reintroduces blue to the colour scheme. A blue away kit has not featured since 1958 which just so happens to coincide with the year of Brazil's first World Cup victory. 

Nike designers say that this is the 'brightest' kit yet. In addition, both shirt will have the motto ''you are the selection'' sewn into the inside neck of the collar. 

In the summer, Brazil will be looking to win their first World Cup in 16 years, the last time they claimed the title was back in 2002.
