The vintage yellow T-shirt worn by Wagner Moura in The Secret Agent has become a trending item among Brazilian progressives. While the shirt was originally produced by a carnival group in Olinda in 1978, its popularity skyrocketed after the release of the political thriller. Matheus Camarotti, the director of communications for Pitombeira dos Quatro Cantos, mentioned that new shirts arrive daily from the factory and sell out almost instantly. The T-shirt has become a symbol for leftist ideologies in Brazil, especially amidst the current political climate. With even President Lula receiving one as a gift, the T-shirt’s influence is expected to continue growing leading up to the elections. The surge in sales has been pivotal in supporting Pitombeira’s carnival preparations, ensuring financial stability for upcoming events. Despite the rise in pirated versions being sold on the streets, the group urges consumers to purchase authentic shirts to continue supporting their cause.
