The archive photo above shows Brazil wearing white at the 1930 World Cup. Indeed, the Selecao only switched to their famous yellow after losing out to Uruguay in the 1950 World Cup final and deciding their white jerseys were therefore hexed in some way.

Makes a nice change from decades of near-identical blue away kits, no?
