Colors play an important role in official shirts. In most cases, the colors of the country’s flag is commonly used. Germany adopted the black, whereas Italy chose the blue. Argentina : blue and white.

Brazil’s official world cup shirt has never been the same. The yellow one is the most famous around the world. In the first competitions, our uniform was white with details in blue.

It was just after the 1950 World Cup, that Brazilians created the famous “canarinho” shirt, because Brazil lost the final match with Uruguay. So it was necessary to change the colors associated with Brazil’s defeat and develop a new design . A contest was held to choose the new uniform and the winning project was a yellow shirt, known as “seleção canarinho” due to a popular bird in country, the canary.

a) Yellow. b) Blue. c) White/blue. d) White/black.

When the winter came, the starving Grasshopper went to the Ant’s house and humbly begged for something to eat.
