Clube do Remo, or Remo, or Leão, as they are usually called, is a Brazilian football team from Belém in Pará, founded on February 5, 1905. Remo greatest rivals are Paysandu and Tuna Luso.

History

Clube do Remo was founded on February 5, 1905, as Grupo do Remo. The founders, before founding Remo, had abandoned Sport Club do Pará. On February 14, 1908, Remo was closed, after the club's general assembly. On March 29, 1908, Remo's partners and Sport Club do Pará made a deal, and Remo was officially extinct in 1908. On August 15, 1911, Remo was reorganized following the initiative of Antonico Silva, Cândido Jucá, Carl Schumann, Elzaman Magalhães, Geraldo Motta, Jayme Lima, Norton Corllet, Oscar Saltão, Otto Bartels and Palmério Pinto.

In 2005, the club was promoted to the second division after winning the third division. This was the club's first national title.

Other kits

In 2005, Remo had a special golden kit to celebrate its 100th anniversary. Although it was never used, because of the tradition to wear a navy blue uniform. In 2006, another golden kit was made, but again it was not used.

In 2010, it was done, once again, a golden uniform , this time used in official matches of the club.
