Brazil sent a message against racism by swapping its bright yellow shirts for an all-black look during a friendly against Guinea in Barcelona on Saturday.

Brazil said this was the first time its outfield players have worn black shirts. Before the friendly at Espanyol's stadium, the teams posed in front of a banner that read "With racism, there is no game" in Portuguese.

Vinicius and his teammates also took a knee. On Thursday, Vinicius agreed to join a revived FIFA task force to tackle racism in soccer.
