With EURO 2012 seemingly just around the corner now, Nike have today revealed their home kits for the competition – and Sport-locker.net has all the details!
The Netherlands, Croatia, France, Portugal and Poland will all be donning these new kits come the summer.
And as the video and images show, we think they look ruddy awesome!
The Netherlands
The Netherlands home shirt is in the traditional Dutch vibrant orange, but now has tonal diamond prints on both the left side of the torso and the right side of the bottom to create a sash effect to echo the design of their first ever kit from 1904.
Croatia
Featuring their famous red and white checks, the Croatia home shirt has a red crew neck collar with the body now featuring even bigger and bolder red and white checks. The sleeves contain smaller checks to create an overall more colourful design.
Inside the neck is the message “Uvijek Vjerni” which translates as ‘Always loyal”, to celebrate the loyalty and passion Croatians feel for their football side.
France
The new France home kit is a bold departure from the traditional blue and white design and has been inspired by the military uniforms.
On the cuff of both sleeves is a hexagon to represent France, and contains three tones of gold to echo the national flag the Tricolour.
Portugal
Portugal’s new home kit has been augmented with symbols from their glorious seafaring history.
On the sleeves are green crosses formed from thin stripes, with the horizontal lines extending around the entire cuff, to represent the revered Portuguese national symbol, which was emblazoned on the sails of the ships Portugal’s explorers navigated around the world.
Poland
The new Poland kit was first revealed in December 2011, and represents the most iconic symbol of Poland depicted by the national flag in white and red. It will carry a nation in the most important year in Polish football history, so the jersey will be remembered for many years to come.
The shirt also features the traditional national crest – an Eagle, reflecting the pride and passion of Polish football.
