All About Nike's Euro 2016 Kits: Release Dates, Designs, Colors
Nov 17, 2015, by Pat
Whereas Adidas and Puma have unveiled most of their Euro 2016 kits lineup, Nike has been completely quiet so far regarding next summer's big tournament. After many questions reached us from followers all over the world, we want to share what is known about the Nike's Euro 2016 kits so far.
Nike supplies kits for at least six Euro 2016 teams (Croatia, England, France, Poland, Portugal and Turkey), while Slovenia has only slight hopes for the Euro 2016 play-off against Ukraine later today.
Release Dates
Although earlier-than-planned releases were speculated about ahead of November's international fixtures, we'll have to wait a few more months for the new England, France and Portugal kits to see the light of the day.
Nike's Euro 2016 kits are all scheduled for launches in the first quarter of 2016, with the first national team matches window in March the obvious choice. It's all but confirmed, for example, that France and the Netherlands will debut their all-new Nike 2016 jerseys in their clash in Amsterdam on March 25, 2016.
Overall Design & Style
The PSG 15-16 Third Kit is reportedly a hint at the design of Nike's Euro 2016 kits.
As we already detailed in late September, Nike's Euro 2016 kits will be anything but old-fashioned, and instead feature state-of-the-art materials, construction and designs. The stunning PSG 'Dark Light' kit is said to be a hint at where Nike is going kit-wise.
Showcasing the brand's technological accomplishments, the Euro 2016 kits for the likes of Croatia, England, France and Turkey will feature a slimmer cut than previously, while the material constructions has been tweaked as well. In line with this, Nike's Euro 2016 jerseys will feature modern ribbed collars, just like almost all of the brands' 2015-16 club football shirts did.
Colors
The new overall design of the Nike kits also translates into the colors used by the brand for its major European national teams. All Nike Euro 2016 kits will combine shirt and shorts of the same color with differently colored socks.
France will lead the way as host, with the new Nike France Euro 2016 shirt boasting a bold, royal blue for the first time since the brand took over in 2011. 'Hyper Cobalt' is combined with white for accents, while the shorts of the France 2016 kit return to a blue color, combined with red socks. The France Euro 2016 away kit will be white, with details in dark blue, with the color taking over the entire socks.
England will sport a traditionally white home shirt at Euro 2016, complete with accents in grey and royal blue, and combined with white shorts and red socks.
The same scheme is continued for the kits of Portugal (red-red-green and teal-teal-navy) and Netherlands (orange-orange-dark purple and dark purple-dark purple-turquoise). It is expected that it will also apply to the kits of Croatia, Poland (red and white) and Turkey (red and black).
Pre-match and Training Wear
Introducing the England Portugal Euro 2016 pre-match tops.
Parts of the training collection of teams like England, France and Portugal have been leaked already, revealing a set of templates that haven't changed all too much since the current season. Interestingly, the Euro 2016 pre-match shirts feature a gradient line design inspired by the next-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly boots, set to be debuted at Euro 2016.

Chattanooga Red Wolves Reveal Vibrant Hispanic Heritage Pre-Match Shirt
USL League One club Chattanooga Red Wolves SC have unveiled a striking special-edition warm-up top in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Worn ahead of the club's annual Hispanic Heritage Night celebrations, the design pays homage to the rich cultural contributions and traditions of the Hispanic and Latino communities within the local area and across the sport.
Set against an off-white base, the standout feature of the shirt is a massive howling wolf graphic across the front. The silhouette of the club's emblem is brought to life through intricate Mesoamerican and folk art motifs, filled with vibrant shades of teal, red, yellow, orange, and violet. Matching cultural diamond patterns run down the red side panels, while the sleeve cuffs are detailed with horizontal sequences representing various Latin American flags.
The reverse side continues the celebratory theme with a sun wheel and mythological fauna gracing the upper back. Centered below is the club's rallying cry, "DALE LOBOS," printed in a bold red textured font and framed by geometric borders.
US Cremonese 26-27 Third Kit Released
Italian club US Cremonese and technical sponsor Acerbis have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 2026-27 campaign. Designed by Cremona native Carlo Enrico Bonvicini, the jersey is built around a deep navy base enhanced by an alternating pattern of glossy and matte tonal pinstripes for subtle depth.
Elegant golden trim outlines the classic polo collar and sleeve cuffs, complemented by monochrome gold sponsor branding and a reimagined two-tone club crest that references 1980s and 1990s iconography alongside the historical Giovanni Baldesio legend.
No More Adidas: Macron Aberdeen 26-27 Third Kit Released
Aberdeen FC and Macron have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Completing the Dons' wardrobe for the campaign alongside the red home and white away strips, the design takes direct inspiration from Aberdeenshire's iconic Craigievar Castle as the world-famous pink fortress marks its 400th anniversary.
The Aberdeen 26-27 third jersey features a light pink base that recalls the castle's distinctive pink-harled walls. It is enriched by an all-over geometric pattern woven directly into the fabric using Macron's Eco 3D Knit jacquard structure. Anthracite grey covers the raglan sleeves, side panels, cuffs, and ribbed V-neck collar, highlighted with refined silver piping, while the club crest and Macron Hero are both presented in monochrome anthracite on the chest.
Bespoke details include a stylized graphic of Craigievar Castle printed inside the back of the neck, as well as the city's historic "Bon Accord" motto running along the inner silicone hem tape. Pink shorts with anthracite inserts and pink socks finish off the full uniform, which is manufactured entirely from 100% recycled polyester.
All-New Inter Milan 26-27 Champions League Kit Font Released
Inter Milan will have a dedicated name and number font for their new 2026-27 third kit in the UEFA Champions League, something rarely seen from the Nerazzurri in recent years as they have typically used the standard Serie A typography in Europe.
For Serie A, Inter use the standard league typography in Speed Yellow. In the Champions League, however, the Nerazzurri switch to a bespoke 1990s-inspired font with taller, sharper-edged lettering and numbers featuring a thin blue outline, matching the kit's grey.
Interestingly, Inter's 2026-27 home shirt uses the standard Serie A font and was worn in their first Champions League match against Real Madrid. The third kit, meanwhile, features a dedicated Champions League typeface.
Fans can choose between the Serie A and Champions League fonts when customizing the Inter Milan 2026-27 third kit on the club's official web store. This dual-font approach gives the European version a distinct retro feel.
