The Clube Atlético Mineiro is a professional football club from Belo Horizonte that competes in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. Founded on 25 March 1908, the club opened its doors to players of every social class and developed a strong supporter culture; Walkouts lists signed shirts and framed pieces tied to the club’s most iconic moments.
Rooted in Belo Horizonte, Atlético’s identity has long been linked to its black and white stripes and to the city stage of the state championship. The team plays its main fixtures at the Arena MRV, a modern ground that moved the club into a new era while keeping traditional kit lines and crest elements prominent.
On the pitch Atlético have an extensive honours list, led locally by a record haul of 50 Campeonato Mineiro titles and internationally by a landmark Copa Libertadores victory. The club also won two Copa CONMEBOL trophies and a Recopa Sudamericana, and is recognised in rankings such as the IFFHS where it appears among the leading clubs.
Collectors prize anniversary releases, especially post-1970 commemoratives that mark major moments. Examples include the 2008 Centenary shirt, issued with a special crest, and later badge updates that celebrate continental success. These anniversary shirts are chased because they often combine limited runs with distinctive artwork and packaging.
Season or match magnets drive demand for specific shirts; early champion runs such as the 1971 Brasileirão campaign and the 2013 Copa Libertadores run are particularly sought after. Shirts linked to those seasons are prized for player associations, unique sleeve or sponsor variants, and the role they played in the club’s sporting narrative.
Iconic away designs are another collecting lane, notably the white away shirt (2013 Libertadores) worn in decisive knockout ties, which collectors look for because of match provenance and distinctive colourway details. Fans also collect signed retail shirts from official fanshop drops and early limited runs, including player-issue variants and region-specific releases that were never widely distributed.
Provenance is central to Atlético Mineiro collecting, with emphasis on match context and authentication, such as a COA accompanying signatures. The club’s Clássico Mineiro, Arena MRV, the Copa Libertadores campaigns of 2013 and the 1971 national title are common reference points when assessing a shirt’s story, and collectors often seek framed signed shirts from those seasons, sometimes with exact photo proof or witnessed signing notes. Walkouts features curated pieces and Free worldwide shipping.
