Cruzeiro Esporte Clube was founded on January 2, 1921 by athletes of the Italian colony of Belo Horizonte  with the name Societá Sportiva Palestra Itália. adopted colors, as it could not be, were the same as the Italian flag:green, red and white.The first uniform of the club was green shirt , white shorts and red socks. The club was restricted to the participation of elements of the colony by the year 1925, when it opened its doors to athletes of any nationality. In January 1942, Brazil entered the second World War and a decree law of the federal government prevented the use of enemy nations in terms of entities, institutions, businesses, etc. Thus, the name Italy was removed and the board and club members took 10 months to create a name and a new symbol for the club that was totally Brazilian. In October, a consensus of directors approved the name Cruzeiro Esporte Clube for being the constellation Southern Cross the greatest symbol of the Brazilian nation. The uniform also changed to blue shirt, shorts and white socks.
