Other than the French new away kit and a couple of other kits, Nike released the new Netherlands away kit as well. This one debuted on Wembley against England in a friendly the Dutch won 3-2. It features some ‘laser-cut perforations for maximum breathability’ and a ’sweat-wicking fabric’ . Here are some very aesthetic images of it from NikeStore:

France is another national team involved in Euro 2012 that recently released its kit. Made by Nike, it debuted a few weeks back in France’s friendly victory over Germany away from home. As far as I’m concerned, Nike seems to be doing a particularly good job when it comes to France’s away kit, last season’s one looking quite good as well. Here are some images courtesy of NikeStore:

With Capello gone and fresh management in charge, England is looking forward to Euro 2012 where they meet France, Sweden and one of the hosts, Ukraine. Not a particularly tough group, only group A seems weaker than this one.

Umbro recently released the 12-13 England home kit. As far as I’m concerned, it looks wonderful, definitely not where this English team lacks in quality.

Also, if you buy the shirt from Kitbag they’re going to give you a free Umbro football worth £10 but only one per order.

Spain has been pretty much dominating world football lately, both on club level as well as national level. But will they be able to keep this up, would the reigning European champions be able to keep their trophy? That remains to be seen this summer.

We continue our series of Euro 2012 kits with the 12-13 Germany away kit which, unlike previous editions, is green. It started on the wrong foot with the France friendly defeat but the Germans are known to underperform in useless matches before a final championship. With the talent they have in the squad things will be different in summer.

Is this the kit in which Cristiano Ronaldo will take Portugal to victory this summer in Euro 2012? It does have a design worthy of a Euro 2012 winner but Portugal should first focus on getting our of their tough group. Getting past one of Germany and the Netherlands is no easy feat while Denmark is no small team either.
