Switzerland, Italy, El Salvador Release New National Team Kits

Switzerland’s national women’s football team is looking to climb to new heights in new home kits manufactured by Puma.

The new kits were unveiled on social media on Tuesday, June 13, and will be worn at this summer’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. The front of the jersey features silhouettes of mountains in shades of red that get progressively darker as they move toward the bottom of the shirt.

The kit also has white vertical pinstripes that are broken up by small white crosses from the Swiss flag. That flag also appears on the left chest, while the Swiss Football Association logo is on the right chest, with the Puma logo in between. The front half of the crew neck collar and the sleeve cuffs are white.

Switzerland will play in Group A at the Women’s World Cup alongside co-hosts New Zealand, Norway and the Philippines. They play their first match against the Philippines on July 21 at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin, New Zealand.

ITALY – 125th Anniversary Kit

Adidas and the Italian national team have teamed up for a special edition kit celebrating the 125th anniversary of the Azzurri and the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC). The kit is all white with gold detailing, including the Adidas logo and shoulder stripes. The crest features a gold border and gold lettering along with gold laurels around the outside. Written under the crest in gold are the inscriptions “125° ANNIVERSARIO” and “1898 – 2023”.

The Italian national men’s team will wear the anniversary kits in their UEFA Nations League semifinal against Spain on Thursday, June 15.

UPDATE (June 15, 2023): The anniversary kits that the Italian national team wore during their UEFA Nations League semifinal Thursday had a few differences from what was unveiled earlier in the week. Most notable, the gold Adidas shoulder stripes stopped at the seam connecting the sleeve to the rest of the shirt. As well, a badge celebrating their 2020 European Championship was added mid-chest along with an inscription noting the date and location of the match and the Spanish and Italian flags. The numbers on the shirt and shorts were printed in a gold bevelled font.

EL SALVADOR – Third

After unveiling new home and away kits in March, El Salvador is back with a new third kit in time for this summer’s Concacaf Gold Cup. The kit is predominantly black with a pattern of blue and yellow rectangles forming waves woven into the collar and sleeve cuffs. Like with the home and away kits, the Umbro logo and the country’s ‘ES’ crest are centered on the chest; the ‘ES’ is black with yellow and blue outlines.

The yellow and blue rectangles carry over to El Salvador’s pre-match jersey for the Gold Cup. They repeat diagonally across the front of the white pre-match shirt, with the ‘ES’ crest in blue on the left chest.

BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA – Home and Away

In time for men’s European championship qualifying matches coming up this week, the Bosnia and Herzegovina Football Federation unveiled new national team kits this week, made by Kelme. Both the blue home kit and the white away kit have a tonal pattern of dragons all over, playing off the team’s nickname. The home kit also has tonal vertical stripes down the front. Trim on the collar and sleeves is yellow on the blue home kit and blue on the white away kit.
