Nike Wins Euro 2020 Group Stage Boots Battle, All Puma Teams Still In Tournament
Jun 25, 2021, by Chris
The group stage of the Euro 2020 group stage is over. All the big teams qualified for the Round of 16 - but how were brands performing in the UEFA Euro 2020 so far?
We take a look at the top-scoring football boot brands and the kit maker battle, in cooperation with Football Boots DB and Football Kit Archive.
Euro 2020 - Boots Battle
Of the 86 goals scored (not counting the 8! own goals), Nike players scored 48 (56%), Adidas comes second with 29 (34%), while Puma comes third with 5 (6%).
The biggest surprise might be that New Balance and Under Armour both have two goals (Depay for UA & Sterling for NB), despite only three players wearing New Balance and only one wearing Under Armour.
The Mercurial has been the most successful silo with 30 goals
The Mercurial (30 goals) has been the most successful silo ahead of the Adidas X (15) and Nike Phantom GT (14).
Overall, the top-performing brands in the Euro 2020 boots battle more or less match the general distribution of the boots brands. Puma is the only brand that under-performed in terms of boots so far.
Euro 2020 - Kit Makers Battle
In terms of football kits, it is remarkable that all Puma teams are still in the tournament - Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, and Switzerland.
Four Nike teams and three Adidas were eliminated
Four Nike teams and three Adidas were eliminated, while Joma (North Macedonia) is completely out. Hummel (Denmark) and Joma (Ukraine) are the two small brands left.
Euro 2020 - Round of 16 Kit Makers

No More Mizuno: Reebok Hansa Rostock 26-27 Third Kit Released
German 3. Liga club FC Hansa Rostock and new technical sponsor Reebok have officially unveiled the team's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Completing the club's kit set alongside the previously launched home and away shirts, the release marks another custom design from Reebok in their debut campaign as Hansa's official supplier after taking over from Mizuno.
The Reebok Hansa Rostock 26-27 third shirt reinterprets a classic design from the club's archive, taking direct inspiration from the away jersey worn during the 1999-00 season. It features a sleek black base on the front and back, complemented by vibrant red sleeves that highlight Reebok's signature vector branding. A traditional polo collar tops off the vintage look, paying homage to an era defined by club figures like Timo Lange, Magnus Arvidsson, Victor Agali, and Steffen Baumgart.
Crafted from modern performance fabrics with a contemporary athletic fit, the jersey blends nostalgic late-90s styling with up-to-date sportswear technology. The new Hansa Rostock 26-27 third kit is available now via the club's official online store and physical retail locations.
Crawley Town 26-27 Away Kit Released
English club Crawley Town and technical partner Erreà have officially launched the new 26-27 away kit. Following the design direction established by this season's home uniform, the new alternative strip carries a sleek black and gold color scheme inspired by the club's fiery identity.
The Erreà Crawley Town 26-27 away jersey is predominantly black with a subtle tonal flame pattern running across the front and sleeves as a nod to the Red Devils nickname. All accents are styled in gold, including a recoloured black and gold crest, gold Erreà chest branding, and gold sponsor logos. The inside back collar incorporates 1896, marking the foundation year of the club.
Black shorts and matching black socks complete the new Crawley Town 26-27 away kit by Erreà, which is now available to purchase through the official club store.
