Fiat to sponsor Palmeiras Shirt in 2008

Palmeiras have announced that for the 2008 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A season their shirt will feature Italian car makers Fiat’s logo on the front. As part of the announcement model Adriane Galisteu appeared on stage with President of Palmeiras Alfonso Della Monica and Chairman of Fiat in Latin America.

Palmeiras New Kit Sponsors 2008

Galisteu wore a 2007 Palmeiras adidas manufactured shirt with a very large white Fiat logo on it. It is thought that this is just a prototype and a new shirt will be released with a refined logo for the coming season. The Fiat shirt sponsorship deal means that Pirelli are replaced as Palmeiras kit sponsors.

Tip of that hat to Minhas Camisas (my shirts) the Brazilian football shirts blog which revealed the news of the deal first.
