Camisas Negras
Chant honouring the Camisas Negras, Vasco's historic 1923 champions.
The Vasco squad known as Black Skirts won for the first time the carioca championship in 1923 (11 wins, 2 losses and only 1 defeat). The success of this squad was due to black, mixed races and poor people that were recruited outside the main football fields. This is the start of a fight against racism in football.

In 1923, Vasco won their first Carioca title fielding Black and working-class athletes, a revolutionary act that challenged the elite clubs of Rio. That achievement earned the club the eternal nickname Os Camisas Negras (The Black Shirts).
