Vapor vs Replica vs Fan: Nike 2020 National Team Kit Tier Comparison
Following last week's leak and as we approach the release of Nike's 2020 national team shirts, we though it would be a good idea to take a close look at how the three tiers of shirts that will be available compare, especially considering the heavy updates to the template this year.
Vapor Match
Nike's top tier of shirts, the Vapor Match template as heavily updated this year. Retailing at around €140, these shirts come with the eye-catching new knit pattern on sides, sleeves and shoulders.
Designed for performance, the Nike Vapor Match jerseys have a more sporty cut so it might be a good idea to go a size up.
So far we could only confirm Vapor Match shirts for Croatia, England, France, the Netherlands, Portugal and Turkey out of the European national teams.
Replica (Stadium)
Unlike in the MLS for example, the Nike national team replica shirts, which retail at around €90 boast the exact same designs as their 'Vapor' counterparts. The only differences between the two are the materials and more relaxed cut.
Fan
Beyond the well-established authentic and replica, there is a third Nike 2020 jersey tier - although this one is only available for a select range of teams including Poland and Turkey.
These shirts only roughly resemble the original designs and feature stamped on logos. Retail should be around €40-50.

Konyaspor 26-27 Special Kit Vote
Turkish Super Lig side Konyaspor has officially handed the design reins to its supporters by launching a fan vote to select the club's 2026-27 alternative kit, with three bespoke Hummel designs currently up for debate.
The "Anatolian Eagles" are offering a diverse menu of choices: a vibrant green-and-white checkered pattern that evokes a classic retro feel, a clean half-and-half vertical split with intricate chevron detailing on the sleeves, and a minimalist white base featuring a sharp green horizontal band across the chest.
In a nod to the club's heritage, the poll is scheduled to close this Friday, May 15 at exactly 19:22 - a tribute to the club’s founding year.

UEFA Unveil Official 2026 Champions League Final Jersey for Budapest
UEFA have officially unveiled the commemorative jersey for the 2026 Champions League final, set to take place at the Puskás Aréna on May 30, 2026. The limited-edition shirt celebrates the culture and architecture of Budapest, combining local inspiration with signature Champions League branding.
