For the first time in the club's history, Atlético Mineiro will wear an orange match shirt. The color choice is not random, it is a direct tribute to the "Rua de Fogo" (Street of Fire). The Nike Clube Atlético Mineiro 2026 third jersey will feature a dominant orange color combined with black accents

The design is inspired by the legendary reception fans give the team bus, lighting up the streets with red flares and creating the famous "Black and White Hell" atmosphere.

The Nike Atletico Mineiro 2026 third football shirt is expected to feature a smoke-like pattern to mimic the visual of the burning flares.
