After the Italian national team, the versions of Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic arrive
April 23rd, 2021
The launch of the new away kit of the Italian national team and of the global #OnlySeeGreat campaign also involved the other PUMA sponsored national teams. After the Azzurri, the German brand has launched the away jerseys of Switzerland, Austria and the Czech Republic. The team package is not complete: Iceland and Serbia are missing, which at the moment have not yet communicated anything about joining. to the new creative project of PUMA, most likely because they are not teams not participating in the next European Championship.
The transition from #CraftedByCulture of past seasons to #OnlySeeGreat is clear in the designs and templates chosen by the brand for the new jerseys of the European national teams. While the masterpiece of the previous launch was to enhance the cultural elements and historical traditions of a country, on the other hand PUMA in this new wave has definitely refreshed its approach to kits by giving a clean and essential steering. The strategy of "less is more" at the moment divides the fans, not used to seeing so much simplicity after the "aesthetic glitz" of the latest PUMA jerseys.
Austria
The template chosen is standard and the details make the difference. The Austrian national team - included in group C of Euro2020 with the Netherlands, Ukraine and North Macedonia - will have a black jersey with the federation logo, changed in December 2019, repeated tone-on-tone on the front and on the sleeves. The extravagance of the Austria kit will be the sharp detachment that will create shorts and socks, of an almost blinding electric turquoise. For the goalkeepers, the away kit will be white.
Switzerland
Switzerland - included in Group A with Italy, Wales and Turkey - has a jersey that differs from the others only in a different color palette. Compared to the Austrian one, white takes the place of black, while the stripes on the top of the shirt are in red, respecting the colors of the Swiss flag. The cross of the flag is repeated tone-on-tone on the shirt, but its presence is almost imperceptible. In this case, no broken: white shorts and socks. The only peculiarity is that the game shirt will have a round neckline, while the non-racing version will have a V-neck.
Czech Republic
The Czech Republic - included in group D with England, Croatia and Scotland - has a jersey that is substantially identical to that of the Swiss national team, with the only difference being the two bands in blue and not in red, also in this case taking up the colors of the flag. Even the socks and shorts will be white and the same reasoning applies to the collars, made in a double version.
