The 24 European teams participating in the tournament have put forth their best efforts to create visually stunning jerseys that embody both national pride and fashion-forward aesthetics. From Germany’s modern away design with its pink and purple washes to England’s controversial yet striking St. George’s cross-inspired away shirt, each kit carries a unique story and reflects the team’s identity.
Ukraine’s away kit stands out as a poignant tribute to the ongoing conflict in the country, featuring the Ukrainian border depicted in the background. Belgium’s away shirt pays homage to the beloved Belgian cartoonist Hergé and his iconic creation Tintin, with a blue jersey, white collar, brown shorts, and white socks.
Portugal’s Nike-designed away kit is a farewell to the brand, as PUMA takes over next year. The design celebrates the nation’s traditional ceramics with a blue mosaic tile graphic. The French team exudes elegance with both their home and away kits, with the away shirt featuring a chic pinstripe that subtly shifts through the colors of the national flag.
In the end, it is France’s away jersey that emerges as the winner for its bold and stylish design. The enlarged Gallic rooster crest stands out against the pinstriped backdrop, creating a timeless and sophisticated look that embodies the spirit of the tournament.
