New Euro 2012 Shirts

16 nations will be competing for the right to be called European Champions at this summer’s Euro Championships in Poland and Ukraine. Here’s a look at what those 16 teams’ Euro 2012 shirts look like. This list of Euro 2012 kits is listed group wise, and covers both home and away Euro 2012 shirts for all 16 particpating nations. All sixteen nations’ Euro 2012 uniforms are split between Adidas, Nike, Umbro and Puma.

Group A features hosts Poland, 2004 champions Greece, Russia and the Czech Republic. Nike’s original design for the Poland jersey didn’t feature the eagle symbol. A huge outcry followed and Nike quickly released a redesigned version for the country, this time with the eagle in tow.

Puma have the least number of Euro 2012 nations on their roll, with only two- Italy and Czech Republic wearing their jerseys. Umbro have three, thanks to their association with the Home Nations. Nike just about loses out to Adidas, with the former having five EM 2012 nations compared to the latter’s six. Adidas has one co-host ( Ukraine) and the reigning champions (Spain) with them. No strips from the likes of Burrda, Hummel, Jako, Joma and other manufacturers.

Puma 2- ( Czech Republic, Italy)
Umbro 3- ( England, Republic of Ireland, Sweden)
Nike- 5( Croatia, Netherlands, Portugal, France, Poland)
Adidas- 6( Russia, Greece, Ukraine, Germany, Spain, Denmark)
