sport news Euro 2024 kits revealed: How each nation will look in their swanky new home and ... trends now
Once the club football season ends, there is just the small matter of a European Championship for football fans to get their teeth stuck into.
The tournament will get underway when hosts Germany take on Scotland on Friday, June 14.
And one of the highlights, usually, for those watching is seeing the new kits that their nation will turn out in.
For the most part, these kits have already had their first outing in the most recent international break.
England fans got a glimpse of both their new home and away kits when they took on Brazil and Belgium respectively at Wembley.
England fans have already seen their home and away kits for Euro 2024 donned by players
Hosts Germany's home kit represents a classy touch with the tricolour of the flag on the shoulders
But what else can we expect when the tournament gets underway in June?
Group AGermany
As to be expected, Germany's home shirt is predominantly white and provides a neat base layer to tee up the rest of the jersey.
The tricolour of the national flag adorns the shoulders of the Adidas home strip and there is a subtle design on the body of the shirt.
The home kit is clean and simple, but the away kit for Julian Nagelsmann's side is definitely more lively.
The pink strip fades into a purple spiked design towards the bottom of the shirt and is reportedly inspired by the 'digital world of the metaverse'.

The away kit is more out of the ordinary, with a purple and pink design blending together
Scotland
Scotland have qualified for their second consecutive Euros and their home strip is a traditional look we have come to expect.
The navy kit features yellow trim and numbering with white Adidas stripes, but the real standout part of this kit is the tartan pattern that runs across the shirt.
Scotland will be decked out in tartan as usual, with a patterned design adding to the look
As for the away kit, it is a much simpler set up from Adidas for Steve Clarke's side and is quite the departure from what we usually see.
The pale blue strip features purple stripes that are reportedly tartan with the kit based on an 'iconic Scotland strip from the 1990s'.
Their away strip is different to the usual Scottish design, although it is also inspired by tartan
Hungary
Often for international tournaments we see kit manufacturers roll out a template and then set the colours that match the national side's usual set up.
Hungary are the first team here to be set up in such a way by Adidas, who will be stepping out in what can only be described as pretty plain kits.
Hungary's home (left) and away (right) designs are simple and feature the same colours
The home strip is red, with the country's crest affixed to both sides, and has some white and green trim to try and liven the look up.
The away kit is essentially the inverse, a white strip accompanied by red and green slashes.
Switzerland
Switzerland's home kit features a two-tone red design said to represent all things Swiss
The away shirt with it's white base is adorned with a light blue detail across the body
Switzerland may well boast the best looking effort of any team wearing a Puma kit at this summer's tournament.
The home shirt features a two-tone red effort, with subtle pinstripes adorning the jersey.
Puma claim the two shades of red carry special symbolism for the nation of Switzerland and reflects all things Swiss.
The away kit, sporting a white base, may have risked being called boring, but the two shades of blue pattern add a smart accent to freshen up the look.
Group BSpain
Spain's home kit will feature their traditional red and yellow, while the back of the neck features the national flower of Spain, the carnation
The yellow away kit has a red trim coupled with a pale blue wave graphic on the side of the top
La Roja are set to line up in a rather traditional yellow and red kit, reminiscent of their hugely successful period in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
It is boosted by an infusion of the wildlife and geography of Spain, with the wavy pattern on display said to be in reference to the seas on the Spanish coast.
The Carnation, which is Spain's national flower, is also embroidered on the back of both the home and away tops in a further nod to their heritage.
The away strip has a similar theme, but instead of red, the main colour is yellow, with a red trim coupled with a pale blue wave graphic on the side of the top.
Croatia
Croatia's home kit features the famous chequered design, though the bigger squares may not appeal to the traditionalists
Fans may be far more impressed with the away strip that features a two-tone blue chequered pattern with red piping
Croatia's home kit will come as no surprise to anyone as we all have grown accustom to their red and white chequered home shirt.
But Nike have made a decision that may not appeal to everyone, abandoning the usual smaller design to opt for bigger alternating squares of red and white.
The away kit is typically blue as we have seen Croatia pull on across numerous international tournaments.
The two shades of blue feature the usual checks but this time in a diagonally tilted fashion.
Italy
Italy's home strip provides another smart look and has the letter 'I' running through the design
Italian kits are often easy on the eye and their Euro 2024 look is no different with the home blue strip simple but classy.
Predominantly one colour, it also encapsulates the Azzurri's rich history and the three colours of their national flag - white, red and green.
The away kit is similarly classical, with the white colour boosted by the conventional tricolour trim on the shoulders
The away kit is similarly classical, with the white colour boosted by the conventional tricolour trim on the shoulders.
Both the home and away strips have the letter 'I' running through them, for Italy, while 'L'Italian Chiamo', which translates as 'Italy has called' and is a line from the national anthem - is printed on the back of the shirt collars.
Albania
Macron's effort for Albania features an all red body with a subtle print with black collar and detailing
It is much the same for the away effort as they turn out a white kit with subtle print, black collar and black detailing with red piping
It is unclear whether Albania will be wearing a brand new strip when they take to the pitch at Euro 2024 with Macron refreshing their international kits every 24 months.
Their current home kit features a deep red base shirt with a black collar and black accents.
The away kit follows much of the block colour design of the home strip featuring an all black look.
There is red pin striping down the side and at the base of the black collar adding a splash of colour to the otherwise pretty plain effort.
Group CEngland
England have unveiled their new kits ahead of this summer's Euros - with captain Harry Kane seen wearing the home strip
England's away kit, worn by Declan Rice, is a departure from the more traditional red option

England's home kit caused controversy upon it's release after a 'playful' change to the St George's Cross caused uproar.
But the home kit itself is a clean choice from Nike, the white base with a navy collar and navy and red accents will give fans a sense of a throwback to Euros gone by.
The away kit also divided fans with Nike making the decision to move away from the more traditional red offering.
The all blue effort features gold trim including a monochrome gold Three Lions crest.
Slovenia
Not much is known about the Slovenian kits for Euro 2024 just yet, but it is expected they will be made by Nike.
Denmark
Denmark and Hummel is a combination fans have become accustomed to and their efforts this year are pretty simple but make for good viewing
Denmark and Hummel are an iconic duo that fans have become accustomed to seeing at European Championships.
