With the anticipation building up for the upcoming Copa América and European Championship tournaments, Adidas has taken the opportunity to unveil a multitude of home and away kits to be worn by their partner federations. The new designs showcase a common theme which focuses on blending each nation’s footballing identity with modern elements and styles. Drawing inspiration from sources as diverse as folk art, South American landscapes, flowers, and even classic cartoon characters, Adidas has created a unique collection of jerseys for the upcoming competitions.
The home kit for Argentina pays homage to their international success with a regal golden touch to their classic blue-and-white stripes. The inclusion of gold detailing on familiar badges and the iconic “rising sun” coat of arms adds a touch of sophistication to the design. On the other hand, the away shirt falls short with minimal decoration and lacks the flair expected of a reigning champion team like Argentina.
Chile’s home kit features a unique mosaic design symbolizing the passionate support of their fans, known as the “Red Tide.” The away kit draws inspiration from the snowy Andes mountains, resulting in a predominantly white jersey with hints of red and blue. Colombia opts for a vibrant yellow base in their home kit, incorporating red blocks representing the wings of a phoenix.
Mexico’s jerseys are a celebration of the nation’s folk art, with intricate designs symbolizing the country’s heritage. The home kit features stylized eagle feathers on a burgundy background, while the away shirt reflects the fearsome serpent from the national coat of arms. Both designs are considered works of art, combining tradition and creativity seamlessly.
Peru’s home jersey stays true to tradition with a white base, gold trim, and the iconic red sash. The away kit introduces a vibrant purple hue inspired by the cajon instrument, adding a unique touch to the design. Venezuela’s kits showcase the national colors, with the away shirt featuring a graphic representation of the flag, emphasizing national pride.
Belgium’s home kit features a tessellating diamond motif inspired by luxury luggage patterns, while the away strip pays tribute to the fictional comic book character Tintin. Germany’s home jersey impresses with fresh lines and a tricolor gradient effect, while the away shirt features a vibrant purple and pink design inspired by the metaverse.
Italy’s kits embrace classic elements of the Azzurri aesthetic, incorporating linear motifs and national slogans for a sleek design. Scotland’s kits reflect the country’s tartan heritage, with the away kit drawing inspiration from iconic kits of the past. Spain’s kits feature floral and geographical references, reflecting the nation’s heritage.
Wales’ home shirt pays homage to the national dragon symbol, while the away kit takes inspiration from retro bucket hats worn by fans. With a focus on tradition, creativity, and national identity, Adidas has once again delivered a diverse and innovative collection of kits for the upcoming international tournaments.
