The superstition arrives with confidence.
Brazilian fans are protecting Rocky from a jersey, because apparently, that’s a thing now. They’re trying to avoid a curse that has supposedly affected other teams who have dressed the statue in their colors. It’s a bold move, but hey, it’s the World Cup. The fans are taking no chances. After all, a good luck charm is a good luck charm. And if that means standing guard around a statue, so be it.
Rocky’s got a new entourage, and they’re all about preventing a fashion disaster.
