The new Nike jerseys for European national teams

It's a day of big releases at Nike, with the American company launching the entire range of kits that will be used by the Federations in this season's competitions, with a special focus on the highly anticipated Euro 2024 that will begin in Germany on June 14th. A competition that will see the best European teams take the field, some of which will be wearing kits made by the Swoosh. These jerseys update the aesthetics and performance possibilities for athletes thanks to a new material created to increase mobility, breathability, and ventilation: Dri-FIT ADV, Nike's standard for sports clothing.

France

The French National Team is one of Nike's top federations, for which they always create jerseys with great aesthetic value. This time, the choice fell on the use of pinstripes for the away version, with a subtle pattern of both blue and red stripes on a white background. This pattern also defines the game shorts, both in the home and away versions. The first jersey remains monochromatic in blue, while the detail that most characterizes both game uniforms is the Federation's crest, larger than usual, on the chest.

Portugal

For what will be the last two jerseys signed by Nike for the Portuguese Federation before switching to PUMA, the Swoosh has gone for the classic look for the home version, where the iconic colors of the flag remain. The away version is characterized by an all-over pattern created using the style of Azulejos, the typical ceramic tiles, in light blue on white.

Netherlands

The Orange National Team remains one of the most historically and traditionally charged when it comes to football jerseys, and even these latest two made by Nike closely follow the aesthetics that have made the small Northern European country great in the world. The first jersey is therefore strictly orange, with contrasting blue details, while the away jersey reverses this color palette, with blue being dominant and orange making its way in a vaguely geometric pattern.

Croatia

One of the most consistent national teams internationally in recent decades continues its partnership with Nike for two jerseys that reaffirm the colors of the flag, with large white and red checks in the Home version. The Away jersey always maintains the same design, only that the checks become diamond-shaped and the contrast is given by different shades of blue, a color usually used in the second jerseys of the Croatian national team.

Turkey

The Turkish National Team has also qualified for the next European Championship, where they will debut the two new jerseys signed by Nike more than two decades after the start of their partnership. Both the Home and Away versions are quite simple, using only the red and white of the flag, except perhaps for the detail of the placement of the Swoosh in the center under the central red band in the first jersey.

Poland

For Poland, Nike has remained consistent with the aesthetics of the National Team, with white and red jerseys and logos placed in the center of the design. This solution has been used several times in this latest round of kits to liven up otherwise too monotonous jerseys. Here, the extra-large crest of the Polish Federation tops the Nike logo in an unusual placement.

Norway

Despite having two of the brightest talents in the Premier League, Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard, the Norwegian National Team failed to qualify for the final phase of Euro 2024. A setback that did not stop Nike from creating two beautiful jerseys, the first with a series of vertical stripes in the colors of the flag - white, red, and blue - while the second, white with a blue design, is inspired by the glaciers that cover part of the Scandinavian country.
