According to a statement released by Palmeiras, the CBF has informed the club that they cannot use their new third jersey on August 23 against Vasco due to technical issues with the automatic offside technology. The new jersey, launched on Friday, is a tribute to Italy's 2006 World Cup victory and features the Cruz de Savoia, an Italian symbol. The jersey's launch campaign, "Somos Palestra Itália", was filmed in three Italian locations.

The new jersey is predominantly blue and features the Cruz de Savoia on the chest, along with a patch with the map of Italy on the sleeve.
