The Spain Euro 2024 home kit is out – don't yawn.
With Adidas dropping their international shirts, there's a clear distinction between home and away: one is a safer option, drawing on classics, the other something more ambitious. Looking at other Euro 2024 kits, some Spaniards will be torn between which of their jerseys are worse.
At least they can let their football do the talking at Euro 2024…
The Spain Euro 2024 home kit is understated to the point of underwhelming

“Pulling from the human and natural world, Spain’s home jersey delivers a classic look for the national team, with progressive themes injected throughout,” Adidas says.
“Wavy patterns are splashed across the base of the shirt, which blends shapes of the country’s national flower – the carnation - and the seas that surround the peninsula.”
There's not a lot going on but Adidas are right: it draws on the classic template of Spain shirts of old. There will be some who adore this kit for its familiar look: others may be disappointed with the lack of imagination.
Still, for what it is, it's very classy. Spain have had some rubbish shirts over the years – remember the Euro 2016 away with the heatmap? – so at least this one eschews anything too garish.
Is it too much to ask for some navy blue again, though? Just a personal preference from us at FourFourTwo.
More kit drops
Adidas have dropped Euros and Copa America shirts, ahead of the international break.
Belgium's home top and away shirt are a change from tradition, while Germany have gone in the same vein: the home kit is classic, sure, but the pink away kit may take some getting used to. No such bother with Italy's home and away shirt, nor Hungary's home shirt or away shirt, while Spain have a classy home kit, while opting for a bold, lime yellow away kit.
Scotland have gone modern for their home kit, simpler for their their away top, while Wales have a similarly vintage home shirt and away shirt that pay tribute to former kits.
