First Nike kit for
Greece features clean design with national colors and innovative performance
benefits.
On
June 7, the Greek National football team will play in their first ever Nike kit
as they take the pitch against Lithuania. The kit pays homage to the country’s
national heritage and features classic football uniform design.
For
the first year of the partnership Nike offers home and away kits that feature a
signature Greek white-and-blue color palette. The home jersey is classic white
with broad blue cuffs and blue V-neck trim, while the away jersey is blue with
contrasting white details. Colored
stripes on the shorts and socks correspond with the jersey’s cuffs to create a
complete look.
“To wear a national team jersey and represent
my country is a great honor for me and my teammates. We will do our best to perform at the highest
level while wearing our national colors and the flag at the heart,” said team
captain Giorgos Karagkounis.
The
kit showcases Nike’s belief in style, craft and strong aesthetics, while aiding
the performance of players with key technological features.
The
kit is made with lightweight Nike Dri-FIT fabric to draw sweat away from the
body to keep players dry and comfortable for 90 minutes and beyond. Ventilation
zones consisting of tiny laser-cut holes under the arms allow for additional
comfort and cooling. A mesh panel across the entire back increases air
circulation.
In line with Nike’s commitment to combining performance with minimized environmental impact, the home and away jerseys are made with recycled polyester. Each jersey is made using an average eight recycled plastic bottles.
