It means "Confederacao Brasileira de Desportos" (Brasilian Confederation
of Sports) instead of nowadays "Confederacao Brasileira de Futebol"
(Brasilian Confederation of Football). Some time in the 1970's, the CBD
was split into individual confederation for each sport, football being
one of them. CDB included football, volleyball, basketball.

BRASIL, Tetracampeao do Mundo: 1958,1962,1970,1994.
PALMEIRAS, Tetracampeao Brasileiro: 1972,1973,1993,1994.
The first name meant Brazilian Sports Confederation. Later, this
organization started to deal only with football, so the name was changed
to Brazilian Football Confederation.
During the 80's, also, the badge was changed to show the Jules Rimet
cup. Later it was changed back.
>...Instead of the familiar CBF logo it says CBD.
A friend of mine wants to answer your question:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your shirt is fine. Brazil used to wear the CBD abbeviation in past
world cups. The D stands for 'Deportes' (Sports).
