GriffinM6 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 This Italy vs. Austria match is absolutely beautiful. Amazing contrast and good on both team for wearing their primary looks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 ^Yep, without a doubt one of the best-looking matchups of the tournament thus far: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was worried we might see one or both of the ugly Puma kits in this matchup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCree Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Puma have had some pretty classy home kits during the tournament. Not sure why the away kits are the way they are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 They need to rig the draw so that Croatia plays more blue teams. I miss the checkerboard. Meanwhile we've got Jon Champion describing Portugal as being in "predominantly white," I guess it does look that way on TV but what disrespect to the color teal tint.

CreamSoda Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Croatia in black and Spain in all white looks wrong and bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came here to say this, so I'm glad I'm not the only one. I don't know all that much about soccer, but I'm confident both of these are "red" teams. So when they play each other, what color do we get? black? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croatia couldn't play in home kit because red-white checkboard clashing with both kits for Spain so Coratia were forced to wear away kit (although their away should be blue like in past except WC18).

I know white is the current away kit, but navy has been some of their best looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Are Sweden and England the only teams not to wear their away kits yet? Wonder if either will be tempted to change today despite being “home”.

lost_limey Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I can see England going with the away kit (which sucks, it should be red, not blue) against Germany because it worked in the 1966 World Cup final, and obviously England's White home shirt would clash with Germany's White home shirt. I'm hoping England wear their proper look of White shirt/blue shorts/white socks, but I'm not optimistic that'll happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If England is the home team per UEFA, they should be wearing white. Unfortunately that means they'd be all white and Germany would be all black.

Normally I’d agree, but I think it works for Germany. There’s something really sleek and industrial about it, like a Porsche or something hard to put my finger on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Looks like we're getting Sweden in yellow vs. Ukraine in blue. When the Euro 2020 Twitter account posts the lineups about 40 minutes before kickoff, the formation graphic has been very reliable for showing which kits will be worn (the photo with the lineup in numerical order, not so much; scroll through to the right). I think the only time they got it wrong was when Denmark wore their all-red third kit, and the graphic showed their red home kits with white sleeves. Their live blogs for each game (what the above tweet links to) also shows the team formations and subs in the kit colours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90reds Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Sweden's yellow kits are nice enough but I really want to see the pinstripes at least once this tournament. Maybe against England in white if they win today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
