Czech Republic 2022/23 Kits
The Czech Republic is home to several notable players of all time like Petr Cech and Tomas Rosicky. Their kit history would show them wearing red for home kits and white for away. And though 2020 maintains the home colour tradition, the away kit is a historic first for the national football team as it is in lime green, drawing inspiration from linden leaves.
Czech Republic Home Kit
Puma has been Czech Republic's kit supplier since their establishment in 1996. And every home kit since 1996 had always been red with blue accents. including the home shirt for the Euro 2020.
As part of Puma's Crafted from Culture series, the Euro 2020 Czech home kit has a geometric pattern depicting the LÃpa tree, the Slavic symbol for freedom.
Czech Republic Away Kit
Since 1996, the away kit of Czech Republic has gone through different iterations of a white shirt. All shirts have been produced by Puma.
Czech Republic tries something different for Euro 2020 with a lime green away kit, with the shade derived from that of young linden leaves. The shirt also has a geometric pattern showing the linden leaf structure. The application of the said pattern and colour is part of Puma's Crafted from Culture series.
2020/21 Czech Republic Home Shirt
The Puma home kit of Czech Republic for 2020 features a vibrant red base with subtle abstract multidirectional linear graphics on the front including the sleeves. The round neck, as well as the sleeve cuffs, are dark blue. The badges are in their usual placement in the chest area, with the country badge on the left and a white Puma on the right, with two more white Pumas on the side of the sleeves just right under the shoulders. The entire backside is clear except for the white CZECH REPUBLIC stitched on the collar.
2021/22 Czech Republic Away Shirt
After a brief stint with lime, the Czech Republic away kit is back to white as the primary colour. With that said, the 2021-22 iteration shows a rarely-used central placement for the Puma Cat on the chest. Underlining the manufacturer logo is the CZECH REPUBLIC branding which is light blue like the symbol above it. The team crest appears below the branding and retains its official colours. The only other colour accent is red that emanates from the minimal sleeve cuffs, the shoulder linings, and the horizontal lines on the side of the nation's name. Upon closer look, one will see that the horizontal lines house a micro-dotted pattern.
2020/21 Czech Republic Away Shirt
The away kit of Czech Republic for 2020 is officially announced.
Per Martin Malík, Chairman of the Football Association of the Czech Republic, the use of lime green as the base colour of the shirt is aimed at invoking emotions for two reasons. One is the anticipated fan reactions with green not being a traditional colour, and second, to match the bold, ambitious, and ferocious attribute of the current Czech team.
Continuing the 'Crafted from Culture' approach to the Euro 2020 kits, Puma has added a subtle geometric print on the front of the body to represent the linden leaf, matching the colour choice. The black collar does not completely form to the v-neck and instead cuts horizontally as it reaches the point of the V. The back of the collar shows the lime-coloured 'CZECH REPUBLIC' lettering. The cuffs as well the Pumas on the right chest and sides of the sleeves are black. The Czech badge is placed on the left chest.
When the Czech Republic was part of Czechoslovakia, the national team had runner-up finishes in the World Cups of 1934 and 1962 and a European Championship win in 1976. On its own, Czech Republic has a second-place finish in Euro 96 and reached the semi-finals and quarterfinals of the Euro 2004 and Euro 2012 respectively.
The Czech national football team played their first international under their present guise against Turkey in Istanbul on the 23rd February 1994 winning 4-1. Prior to Euro 2020, the side's previous major tournament was in the 2016 Euro in France where they crashed out of the competition in the group stage.
Czech Republic was formed after the splitting of Czechoslovakia, whose national team was founded in 1901, in 1992. Their first international competition as Czech Republic was the 1996 UEFA Euro.
