Gremio to Suit Up with Spirito Santo

Brasileiro club Gremio have announced a parnership with fashion house Spirito Santo for the 2014 season.

The local company will become the club’s formalwear partner and will outfit the team for its trips to compete in this year’s Copa Libertadores continental competition. 

Andreas Renner Mentz, allergy director of Spirito Santo, said: “Rio Grande do Sul (state) resembles Europe and Gremio has the face of European team. Furthermore, being well dressed off the field increases the self-esteem of the players.”
