A revered European football event, the UEFA Euro 2016 is a spectacle that takes place on and off the pitch. The qualifying competition for UEFA Euro 2016 has been played since September 2014 and will be until November 2015. It will determine the 23 qualifying teams that will compete in UEFA Euro 2016, which is to be held in France, from June 10, 2016 – July 10, 2016.
With half a year to go until the kick-off of UEFA EURO 2016 in France, the new Adidas jerseys of the respective national football team such as Germany, Spain and Russian for UEFA EURO 2016 have been revealed recently.
Germany’s Jersey
“The design of the new home jersey is classic with a clean cut. Therefore, the jersey stands for the way we would like to see the team play during the EUROS in France: focused, straight forward, efficient” – Oliver Bierhoff, Representative of the Germany National Team
Germany’s home kit features the classic black and white look of ‘Die Mannschaft’ – a white jersey matched with black shorts and socks to create a timeless outfit. The front of the jersey shows a “Success Barcode” graphic which represents the titles and successes of the team at the previous World and European Championships. In addition, the years of these famous victories are imprinted on the sleeves.
For the first time, the adidas three stripes are not on the sleeves, but rather on both sides. The seams are decorated in black, red and gold details. Moreover, adidas has also designed a slim and feminine variation of the jersey for women.
Spain’s Jersey
The new kit with its vintage design of traditional red portraying the team’s roots and culture.
The new kit of the Spanish national team carries a classic design bringing back the blue shorts and black socks. The triangle is the key motive of the jersey, and it characterises the previous successes of the National Team. The ‘triangle’ game technique that has managed to dominate world-class football will be shown not only on the pitch but on the jersey as well. Therefore, the triangles are a decisive element in the jersey that becomes part of its material.
For the first time, the adidas three stripes will not be on the sleeves, but would run along either sides of the jersey in vibrant yellow. The jersey in traditional red is finished with yellow and blue details.
Both the Germany and Spanish jerseys will be available on November 13, 2015 at adidas outlets, specialty retailers, or purchase online via www.adidas.com.
