Belma

Belma is a Portuguese sportswear brand that supplied kits to regional and local football clubs, leaving its mark on some of the shirts that circulated across the country's district and regional leagues. In this archive, Belma is represented by two green-and-white hooped shirts, belonging to Ançã Futebol Clube and Sporting Clube Vale de Açores — two clubs from very different corners of Portugal, one from the Beira Litoral region on the mainland, the other in the Azores. Little detailed public record exists about the brand itself, but the shirts collected here stand as quiet documents of grassroots Portuguese football.
