With its retro-looking pinstripe, this jersey by Nike harks back to 20th-century fashion with a twist. The blue to red gradient of the lines on the white background stands out while elegantly incorporating the colours of the French flag. The solid blue trim around the collar and sleeves completes the look.
4. England (away)

With its colourful side panels on a dark purple background, the England away jersey is eye-catching in its own right. The gold of the Nike logo and team crest also draws the eye, while the multi-coloured St George’s Cross on the back adds another splash of colour.
3. Belgium (away)

The Belgium away jersey is a tribute to The Adventures Of Tintin comic strip. The sky-blue colour with white accents and a polo collar is inspired by the character’s iconic outfit. The subtle diamond pattern, incorporating the number “1895”, the name of the national team’s fan club, also makes the metallic Adidas logo and team crest stand out.
2. Portugal (away)

The Portugal away jersey by Nike is truly striking, with its intricately detailed, bright-blue design derived from traditional azulejo ceramic tiles. The black collar, sleeves and side panels also frame the design to give it a more structured shape.

Germany’s new pink jersey is currently the fastest-selling away kit in its team’s history. But its home kit’s fiery presence is also one to remember.
The hosts’ home jersey stands out, with its black, red, and yellow colours of the Germany flag on the shoulders that blends into the white background, creating the fiery effect. The design also features a subtle geometric pattern over the white background, which references an earlier design by Adidas for the German team during the 1994 World Cup.
SPECIAL MENTION

Another pinstripe design, with lighter orange stripes elevating the iconic Dutch orange background. Similar to the Portugal away jersey, the dark blue trims and side panels give the design a more distinctive shape, while also complementing the Nike logo and team crest.
