The Spirit of Vila Belmore
In the context of the convoluted football universe, 2012 marks a dividing line between the immaculately-armored success-rich Santos of the Pelé period and the Neymar-like, brand-new, dazzling-age Santos. This jersey has witnessed the most breathtaking goals and the unwavering passion for waiting for continuous celebrations, thereby continuously building a winning tradition. For collectors, it is the specter of a valuable chapter in the club’s history, over a century old in reality, while for others, it is a remembrance and celebration of eternal moments that have rubbed off on them.

Museum-Quality Reproduction!
This desk is very well built. The stripe alignment is absolutely perfect, down to the colors. The fabrics genuinely feel like the lightweight fabrics of the 2012 era. The colors are bold, but not over-the-top. I was so excited to get it! It came wrapped in bubble wrap, arriving to me safe and sound, and it really shows that the most passionate fans of football probably created it. I have centered my Santos collection around it next to its eventual authentic commemorative counterpart: Pelé. Any football gourmand who can appreciate this subtle attention to detail will not be disappointed; it was such a good purchase. It is a must to know the difference between a mass-produced replica and something so devoted to it.

Brings Back Beautiful Memories
I followed the whole of that season from the stands at Villa Belmiro, and tears came when I saw this shirt. The design is just as I remember it-those big black stripes, the classical collar, EVERYTHING. I bought it as the centerpiece for my office, and every time I look at it, I am taken back – I mean, those incredible days. This hanging on the wall attracted my father, a Santos fan for life, who asked immediately where I got it. It is not just any jersey to me, but a de facto time machine. If you experienced that era or love Santos’ history, this piece must find its way into your life.

Comfortable and Surprisingly Nice
I purchased this for casual wear at Brazilian football watch parties, but it has now become my default jersey. The material is wonderful–breathable and soft, and not clammy or stiff like some vintage-style reproductions. I am 6’1″ and an XL fits just fine with enough room to breathe. The black-and-white stripes are sharp and have not faded after several washes using cold water (air dry). This jersey has earned big compliments from football fans who dig on the retro aesthetic. Sporting it with the finest ease would be understatement enough, as I usually wear it to the pub. Very comfortable to wear and suitable for everyday downtime—comfort and style in one package-highly recommended for supporters!
