Nike Creates Player-Exclusive Kits For Euro 2020
Jun 22, 2021, by Chris
Yesterday, we reported that many Adidas teams are wearing replica-like kits in UEFA Euro 2020. This is in contrast to Nike and Puma, whose teams are all not wearing the standard Fan version. However, two Nike teams did not receive fully authentic Vaporknit kits.
Finland and Slovakia Wear Custom Kits With Heat-Applied Logos
Nike released Vaporknit jerseys for all teams qualified for the Euro 2020 except Finland and Slovakia. This, however, does not mean both countries have to wear the same kits as the supporters.
Nike's Vaporknit jerseys are available for all teams except Finland and Slovakia
A closer look at Finland's and Slovakia's 2020 Nike kits reveals that both have heat-applied logos instead of stitched ones. This is not only to reduce weight but also to prevent the shirts to rub unpleasantly on the nipple.
Poland is wearing Vaporknit jersey, which are also available to buy
The material used for the Finland and Slovakia kits appears to be also different. It reminds us of old Nike authentic kits from the time before Aeroswift (before 2016).
All Puma teams are wearing authentic kits
All Puma teams are wearing authentic kits. The three teams not supplied by Adidas, Nike, or Puma (Ukraine, Denmark, and North Macedonia) all have kits with heat-applied logos - only Adidas nations are wearing kits with stitched logos.
Adidas and Nike also produced custom player-only long-sleeve versions of their Vaporknit Euro 2020 kits. Puma did not so.

How the Three Newcastle Crest Options Compare
Jersey Story has created a very nice mock-up of how the three Newcastle United crest options compare.
Como 1907 Officially Reveal 26-27 Away Kit
Como 1907 has officially unveiled its new 26-27 away kit, produced by Adidas. The official announcement follows an early leak when midfielder Lucas Da Cunha was spotted wearing the shirt while signing autographs during the club's pre-season trip in the United Kingdom.
The Adidas Como 26-27 away jersey features a white base paired with dark blue details across the collar, sleeve cuffs, and classic three stripes on the shoulders. Giving the shirt a retro feel, it features the iconic Adidas Trefoil logo on the right chest opposite the club's crest, with Revolut taking position as the main front sponsor.
Set to make its debut in a pre-season fixture against Arsenal, the new away kit is already on sale at official physical retail locations and will be released on the club's online store soon.
Dortmund 26-27 Away Kit Leaked
Official photos of the Borussia Dortmund 26-27 away kit have appeared online, showcasing Puma's stealthy new design for the club's upcoming campaign. The shirt is built around a dark anthracite and black base, giving BVB a sleek look away from home. Big thansk to @KamilBerberler.
The jersey's defining feature is an all-over tonal abstract lightning bolt graphic woven into the fabric. Adding a touch of classic detail, Puma has included a buttoned collar with white contrast inserts at the back, paired with matching white trim on the sleeve cuffs. The BVB crest and Puma cat logo stand out in vibrant yellow, with the Vodafone sponsor logo placed prominently across the chest.
The full kit is completed with matching black shorts and black socks featuring white cuff details and yellow BVB 09 text.
