Today we want to take a look back at the kits of the UEFA EURO 2008 in Austria and Switzerland, which began on June 7 2019 with the match between Switzerland and Czech Republic.
UEFA EURO 2008 Kits
The UEFA EURO 2008 was quite a good tournament in terms of football kits as it somehow marked a change in the use of streamlined templates and designs. Both Adidas and Nike started to design more bespoke jerseys for each country without such remarkable templates we saw in the 2006 World Cup and previous tournaments.
In the UEFA EURO 2008, Adidas, Nike and Puma all supplied the same number of teams - 5. The only team that did not wear Adidas, Nike or Puma kit was Sweden (Umbro).
For the Euro 2008, most of Adidas' and Nike's jerseys featured bespoke designs for each country with a rather unremarkable template.
Puma, meanwhile, had streamlined looks for most of their teams.
Our favorite 2008 EURO kits are Germany's, Turkey's as well as Netherlands' home jerseys. Not-so-great kits for us are the home jerseys of Puma for Austria and Switzerland, in example.

Cancún FC 26-27 'Dark Cenote' Special Kit Released
Mexican club Cancún FC has released its new 2026-27 'Dark Cenote' special kit, produced by Adidas. Serving as a dark counterpart to the previously announced 'Cenote' third kit, the new jersey pays homage to the state of Quintana Roo and the extensive network of cenotes that has united the Mexican Caribbean region for thousands of years.
The shirt debuted on the pitch on July 3, 2026, and is available for purchase through the club's official physical and online stores until stock runs out.
Doncaster Rovers 26-27 Away Kit Released
The new Doncaster Rovers 26-27 away kit has been officially released, produced by Oxen Sports for the upcoming League One campaign. Celebrating the city's rich engineering heritage, the design is heavily inspired by the iconic Mallard locomotive, paying tribute to the famous Made in Doncaster train. The shirt features a unique color palette drawing directly from the historic steam engine, and as a special nod to its railway theme, the kit even includes a bespoke train ticket swing tag.
Eintracht Braunschweig 26-27 Home Kit Released
Eintracht Braunschweig has officially unveiled its new 2026-27 home kit, produced by Umbro. The launch was accompanied by the slogan 'Auf der Haut. Unter der Haut.' (On the skin. Under the skin.), highlighting the deep connection between the club and its supporters.
The Umbro Eintracht Braunschweig 2026-27 home jersey features the club's traditional blue and yellow colors. A notable design element is the inclusion of lion motifs across the shirt, paying tribute to the club's nickname, "Die Löwen" (The Lions), and creating a bespoke look for the 2. Bundesliga side.
The Eintracht Braunschweig 2026-27 home kit is available to purchase now through the club's official online shop and physical stores.
The upcoming Adidas River Plate 26-27 away kit is a masterpiece. Mockup of how it will look on the pitch.
AFC Wimbledon 26-27 Home Kit Released
The new AFC Wimbledon 2026-27 home kit was officially released today. Made by Lotto, the new kit features the club's traditional colors and will be available to purchase from July 4.
The Lotto AFC Wimbledon 2026-27 home shirt introduces a bespoke look in blue and yellow. The standout feature of the design is the extensive use of the Lotto logo, which is repeated continuously around the collar and the sleeve cuffs.
This repeated logo detailing on the collar and cuffs gives the shirt a distinct retro feel, but it breaks standard equipment regulations for European competitions. Due to the excessive branding, the AFC Wimbledon 2026-27 home kit would not be allowed to be worn in UEFA competitions, but EFL apparently allowed it.
