I know the stars are for the number of World Cups they've won. I want to know the origin of the different crosses.
Thanks.

Brazil was not discovered by Vasco da Gama... Pedro Alvares Cabral did it, at April 22 of 1500.... I'm braziliam, but I never heard about that cross...

It's nothing to do with the individual players religion. The Brazilian national team uses that logo since 1917 (an earlier style of the same)

I think it's because most of the team have a fairly religious background - check out last world cup with the prayers etc.
