(CNN)If the likes of Garrincha, Pele, Socrates, Zico, Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Neymar have come to define the distinctive style of Brazil’s international football side over the years so too did Aldyr Schlee, the man who created the team’s distinctive yellow shirt and who has died at the age of 83.
“It’s our unit, our business card for the world,” said the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) in its obituary for Schlee, who passed away on Thursday.
