German sportswear firm Puma has agreed a four-year deal to design and develop kits for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A football team Esporte Clube Vitoria.
Similar to its partnerships with Brazilian clubs Atletico Mineiro, Paysandu and Goias, Puma will not provide kit directly to Vitoria, with that job assigned to its subsidiary Filon.
Filon will respond to the club’s demands and distribute kits to point of sale.
Salvador-based Vitoria finished fifth on its return to Serie A last season, following its promotion from Serie B in 2012.
