Cruzeiro

Cruzeiro are one of Brazil's most distinguished football clubs, a Belo Horizonte giant with two Copa Libertadores titles and a trophy cabinet that includes four Brasileirao championships and a celebrated domestic treble in 2003. Born in 1921 from the Italian immigrant community of Belo Horizonte, Cruzeiro have given the world Ronaldo and a generation of elite players who cut their teeth in the famous blue shirts of Minas Gerais. The celestial blue is worn with enormous pride in Brazil's mining heartland. Founded in 1921, Cruzeiro play at the Mineirao in Belo Horizonte and compete in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A. Key honours include two Copa Libertadores titles, four Brazilian championships, and six Copa Brasil wins. Known as Raposa (The Fox) and A Celeste (The Celestial), the club wears blue and white and is one of Minas Gerais football's great institutions alongside Atletico Mineiro. Celestial blue is Cruzeiro's signature colour and it has been worn with pride across every era of the club's history. The Copa Libertadores winning shirts carry the weight of two continental titles, while the 2003 treble season produced some of the most celebrated kits in the club's modern history. Ronaldo wore the celestial blue in the early stages of his career before conquering the world, giving Cruzeiro's shirts a connection to greatness that collectors have always valued.
