As part of their 2025 Brazil Tour, RB Leipzig and Red Bull Bragantino will debut custom Brazilian-inspired shirt printing, uniting both clubs under the symbolic message: “One Family.”


This joint design activation will be worn during Leipzig’s friendly against Santos FC, while Bragantino will feature the same style in their league clash with Juventude — marking a unique cross-continental brand moment for the Red Bull Football Group.


More Than a Shirt: A Statement of Global Football Synergy


The bespoke shirt printing is more than just a nod to local flair — it's a brand-integrated cultural crossover, fusing Leipzig’s European profile with Bragantino’s South American identity. The print’s design elements reflect Brazilian vibrancy, while the slogan “One Family” amplifies the group’s internal philosophy of collaboration, consistency, and cohesion across its football portfolio.


Both shirts — although from different leagues and kit suppliers — will showcase identical visual treatment on the back, creating visual symmetry across 9,500 kilometers of pitch.


Strategic Symbolism and the Business Behind the Design


While football shirt design customisations have historically been driven by commercial partnerships or commemorative occasions, Red Bull’s approach here reflects a broader shift: using kit design as strategic storytelling.


Red Bull owns or partners with multiple clubs across continents — including Leipzig, Bragantino, Salzburg, and New York. The “One Family” initiative:


  • Strengthens brand unity across regions

  • Signals internal alignment between clubs

  • Resonates with global fans and commercial partners looking for cohesive multi-market narratives


From a marketing standpoint, it’s a low-cost, high-impact move: no need to change entire kits or branding guidelines — just one visible message, executed at the player level.


Why It Matters in 2025 RB Leipzig Red Bull Bragantino


This activation comes at a time when:


  • Intercontinental pre-season tours are increasingly brand-focused

  • Unified visual identity is critical for multi-club ownership models

  • Story-driven merchandising is driving retail and engagement success (see: Venezia FC, PSG x Jordan, Inter x Moncler)
