Holland’s new away kit celebrates Dutch football’s style and authority in Nike’s most environmentally-friendly kit ever.

The new away shirt is black, a naturally stylish and sharp color, which denotes both authority and a lethal approach to the game.  It is augmented with a striking orange panel from the home shirt on the right side from the shoulder to the torso. 

Made with 96% recycled polyester, each kit is made using an average of 13 recycled plastic bottles.  The fabric is 23% lighter than four years ago and embedded with Dri-FIT technology.

The kit will debut on February 29th when Holland visits England in an International Friendly.

France’s new away kit celebrates French style & elegance in Nike’s most environmentally-friendly kit ever.

The new away shirt has a classic white body with seven thin obsidian blue stripes on the cuff of each sleeve to represent the iconic French design of the mariniere.  The shirt’s constructed collar also seeks to echo French style with a long placket and a bonded tape around the edge of the collars.

“FC Wurzburg is a fictitious football team based in Germany. The concept was to try to make an identity based off a culture, and design style that is completely foreign to me. The logo was designed to resemble the Bavarian Mountains with a contemporary abstract assembly of triangles, that form the mountain range while integrating a cool color pallet of greens, and blues. The Wurzburg tagline is “United we are 11”, this grants a form of unity and harmony amongst the players for Wurzburg, and fans. This way, the viewer can place themselves within the players “boots”, and become apart of the team. “We are all Wurzburg”.

The complete style of Wurzburg was outside my comfort zone, this was one of the challenges of unifying the project. The re-design of the Bundesliga logo was also taken into consideration by using the colors of the German flag, and making a abstract shape of a football. As a result of the new logo design, the newly created German league is called the Ersten Liga. Nike and Zelle(a logo also designed for the identity project) are the sponsors and makers for the Wurzburg kits.”
