Nike's design for Finland's Euro kit "leans heavily on the flag", said its designers.

World Cup champions France's kit for the tournament will have alternating horizontal blue and dark blue stripes. A bright red stripe will run across the shirt's chest.

Germany Euro 2020 kits

Germany by Adidas

Italy Euro 2020 shirt

Italy by Puma

The blue Italian home kit aims to celebrate Italy's past greatness. It was directly informed by the renaissance and incorporates a luxurious pattern across the shirt.

Inspired by this culture-defining era of art and architecture, the new Italy Home Kit reinterprets the renaissance patterns of the past into a modern geometric graphic, tonally incorporated into the blue jersey celebrating the nation's influence on world culture and football alike.

"During the renaissance, Italy was the epicentre of creativity and innovation," said David Bremond, head of product line management at Puma.

"Italy didn’t just influence the world; it redefined it. With this home kit we want to celebrate this era and craft this kit from Italy's most important cultural time."


The Netherlands Euro 2020 kit

The Netherlands by Nike

Designed to represent national pride, the Netherlands' orange kit incorporates an embossed face of a lion on its front.

"I've never seen anything like it, and I love the message it sends," said the Netherlands player Virgil van Dijk.

"We need to have the mentality of lions to be successful and we will show everyone just how proud and strong we are."


North Macedonia football shirt

North Macedonia by Jako

For North Macedonia's first appearance at a major tournament, Jako created a burgundy-coloured shirt that incorporates the face of a Balkan Lynx on its front.

However, the colour was a move away from the team's traditional shirts, which led to complaints by fans. In response, the country has reportedly dropped the new shirts and will play in the tournament in its previous kit.


Poland football kit

Poland by Nike

Nike designed Poland's kit to be reminiscent of shirts worn in the team's late 1970s and early 1980s "golden era", when it finished third at the 1982 World Cup.

The country's eagle crest was returned to the centre of the shirt, which has a fold-down collar.

"It's amazing to see the badge back in the middle of the shirts," said Poland player Sebastian Szymański.

"It makes you think of those great teams and players from the past and that will definitely inspire us. I also love all the special little touches on both the home and the away and I think the fans will too."


Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal kit

Portugal by Nike

Portugal will be playing in a "regal" kit designed to reflect its status as reigning European champions. The traditional red kit is paired with green and gold details.

"I think the home is a kit befitting a team of champions, while the away is all about flair, confidence and style — attributes that this team has in abundance," said Scott Munson, VP of football apparel at Nike.


Russia by Adidas

Like many of the shirts being worn at Euro 2020, Russia's kit incorporates the colours of the country's flag with blue reintroduced for this tournament's shirt.

The red main body of the shirt is decorated with a hand-painted graphic,while a blue band warps around the arms and white is used for the trim and stripes.


Scotland Euro 2020 kit

Scotland by Adidas

Adidas aimed to create a "hand-painted contemporary interpretation" of historic Scotland kits for the team's Euro 2020 kits.

The blue shirt has jagged bands of darker blue framed with black wrapped around it. Bands of red and white surround each sleeve.


Slovakia kit for Euro 2020

Slovakia by Nike

Nike's home kit for Slovakia features an abstract print that was designed to be a representation of the country's mountains.

The two-tone blue shirt is finished with dark blue trim.


Spain by Adidas

As with the majority of Adidas shirts being used at Euro 2020, the Spain kit is based on an original artwork.

Designed to be "a modern take on the beloved flag", the shirt features pixilated colours of deep red and burgundy that appear to divide the front of the kit into four.


Sweden by Adidas

Sweden's minimal home kit is almost entirely bright yellow with blue material used for the V-neck and around the sleeves.

Adidas describes the design as "a progressive interpretation of the Swedish flag" that "gives the shirt a fresh and clean feel".


Switzerland by Puma

Switzerland's largely plain red home kit was informed by the principles of the Swiss Style graphic design, which is also known as International Typographic Style.

The kit is decorated with several dark red lines that create an abstract graphic on the shirt.


Turkey soccer kut Euro 2020

Turkey by Nike

Turkey's white home kit for Euro 2020 has a thick red band across the crest with a crescent and star at the centre that directly recalls the country's flag.

"We wanted to capture the incredible passion for football in Turkey with a special design, so we boosted the size of the crescent and star to make them the focal point of the kits," said Nike's Munson.


Ukraine by Joma

Ukraine's yellow home shirt incorporates the outline of the country on its front.

The kit has been controversial as the outline includes Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014. This led to Russia making a complaint about the shirt to European football governing body UEFA.


Wales by Adidas

Wales by Adidas

Adidas' retro-looking home shirt was designed to celebrate Welsh culture and was informed by the banner of Owain Glyndŵr – a flag that was flown during wars with the English in the 15th century.

The shirt takes its red and gold colour from the historic banner, while green and white are incorporated on the sleeve as a nod towards the current Welsh flag.
