Custom Prints Dominate Finland Kits
The Eagle-Owls of European Football will have a new set of Nike kits that they start wearing in the upcoming UEFA Nations League for the men’s division and the Euro 2022 for the senior women’s team. Because the strips are Vaporknit III Teamwear-based, the visuals are added in print form. For both the home and away outfits though, the custom prints are something to behold and should look good on the players once they come out swinging on the pitch. The 2022 Finland kits will be worn by the senior teams for the next two years.
The Finland home shirt sports a white base that elegantly displays a blue cross on its right-hand side in full length and width. Such a choice for the visual graphic proudly and directly incorporates the national flag as its main design element. The cross intersects at the gold Swoosh, another custom print detail that matches the accent of the team crest. On the other hand, the blue away shirt and its body panel show off an-all over pattern of diamond-shaped pine trees, appearing boldly prominent towards the bottom and a gradual fade towards the top. Both shirts employ a relatively loose round collar.
