I've looked at what I consider to be the best kits at the World Cups twice now and thought it was time to look at what the Euros have to offer. The last World Cup had a pretty tame set of kits on offer. So tame, that I could only really pick two to that I thought were worth featuring.
Thankfully, all of the manufacturers have put some effort into this year's versions. Having a bit more freedom with away kits has paid off and given us something to admire out on the pitch.
Netherlands home kit
The Netherlands kit is only here because it's truly orange again. All the best things have something orange on them and this is no exception. The away kit looks more like something to train in but actually looked great in their opening game against Poland.
Belgium away kit
Inspired by the Belgian character, Tin Tin. I'm not a huge fan of their red and black combination but this is a great spin on what a kit represents
France home & away kit
Hard to fault these modern shirts with retro badges. The big bold badges sit nicely on the both the solid blue and white pinstriped shirts.
England away kit
There was plenty of debate here in the UK about how appropriate it was for the St George's cross to be displayed in anything other than red but I think the whole shirt looks fantastic. It looks smart for a football shirt and is much better than anything anyone has delivered in white for England. I often wonder why they don't have a red home kit which I think would be more fitting. They even won the final in 1966 wearing red so it wouldn't take much to make the case for switching.
Germany away kit
Bold from adidas and the German national team, it's purple and just stands out. My favourite kit from Euro 2024.
