History of Henrique C. - Viseu, Portugal
Originally, Grêmio's shirts were in blue and havana (a shade of reddish brown), but since, at the beginning of the 20th century, it was not easy to find fabric in that color to make uniforms, the stripes, then horizontal, were replaced by blue and black vertical stripes. The original uniforms still had white ties and black shorts and socks. The Baixada dos Moinhos de Vento stadium was built in the neighborhood of the same name to please the growing German colony in the city, which was concentrated in the region.
