📖 Russia 2018: Neymar, the #10's comeback and the Hexa dream
Canary yellow, green collar, zigzag numbers: this is one of the finest modern Seleção designs — and it tells the story of the most anticipated World Cup of Neymar Jr's career, the one of the Hexa dream (the sixth star Brazil has been chasing since 2002).
📅 February-June 2018 — the race against time. Metatarsal fracture with PSG in February, surgery, three months out… Neymar comes back just in time for Russia. A whole country holds its breath at every touch.
📅 22 June 2018 — Brazil 2-0 Costa Rica. Neymar sets the Seleção free in added time (90+7') and falls to his knees in tears on the Saint Petersburg pitch — one of the tournament's defining images. He scores again in the round of 16 against Mexico (2-0, goal + assist).
📅 6 July 2018, Kazan — Brazil 1-2 Belgium. The quarter-final that shattered the dream: despite a siege of Courtois' goal, Belgium's golden generation knocks Brazil out. This shirt remains the witness of a magnificent team — Neymar, Coutinho, Firmino, Casemiro, Thiago Silva, Marcelo.
👑 Neymar Jr — Santos, Barça (2015 treble), then the most expensive transfer in football history (Barça → PSG, €222m, August 2017 — still unmatched). In September 2023 he overtook Pelé to become the Seleção's all-time top scorer. Brazil's yellow #10 is the direct legacy of Pelé, Zico, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Kaká — and on this 2018 design, he wears one of his finest chapters.

What is the flaw mentioned?
A small snag (slightly pulled thread) at the bottom of the shirt, with no hole or tear, photographed close-up (photo 6) for full transparency. Invisible when worn, it explains the 8/10 rating rather than 9.
What are the green zigzag numbers?
It is the official “Torcida” font created by Nike for the Seleção at the 2018 World Cup, inspired by the patterns of Copacabana's sidewalks. It was only used on this generation of shirts — an instant visual marker for connoisseurs.
Which World Cup did Neymar play in this shirt?
The 2018 World Cup in Russia: back from a metatarsal fracture right before the tournament, Neymar scored against Costa Rica (2-0) and Mexico (2-0) before the quarter-final exit against Belgium in Kazan (1-2). This design was also worn through the 2018-2019 season.
