The Belgian team should wear a very original outfit for the European Nations Championship.
Always highly anticipated in major international competitions, Belgium will once again be among the top seeds for the next European Nations Championship, which will take place in Germany from June 14 to July 14. Despite the retirement of Eden Hazard and the gradual decline of certain executives, Domenico Tedesco can still rely on a golden generation led by playing master Kevin De Bruyne.
The Belgians should make notable appearances during the competition. For their talent, but not only. The second outfit they will wear after their traditional red jersey could cause a sensation.
A very successful tribute
The Belgian Federation has in fact decided to pay homage to a figure of local culture: Tintin. Belgium’s away jersey will be light blue with a white collar, matched with brown shorts. A visual reference to the outfit of the powder-puffed hero in Hergé’s comic strip, who often wears these colors with his sweater and golf pants during his adventures in the four corners of the world.
Unveiled this Thursday at the Hergé museum in Louvain-la-Neuve, south of Brussels, this Away outfit caused a sensation. “ As a big Tintin fan, I am delighted that our Red Devils are set to conquer Europe with a jersey inspired by one of the greatest Belgian heroes“, enthused Piet Vandendriessche, executive director of the Belgian Football Union.
