Poland

For the Polish main uniform, intricate graphics on the sleeves depict the nest and feathers of a white eagle, emblazoned with the country’s coat of arms, in homage to the century-old symbol of Polish sovereignty and unity. Red and white, the national colors of Poland, celebrate peace and honor.

Portugal

Portugal shirts signal a new era on the horizon for Portuguese football. In the backing, a diagonal line mimics the flag wrapped around the body, and national pride is displayed through the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) shield and the armillary sphere, used as the crest on the back collar.

On the reserve shirt, an off-white tone was used to make the Portuguese coat stand out in “a sea of ​​bright white uniforms”.
