Kit Detail & Heritage – Iceland’s Memorable Designs
Iceland’s kits combine bold Nordic identity and modern performance. The signature blue home shirt, accented by red and white, draws from the national flag and mountain landscapes, while away and alternate styles often reverse or reimagine the palette. From Erreà’s earlier designs to newer PUMA kits, changes in fabric technology, crest design, and pattern work reflect Iceland’s rise from underdog to respected international side.
Famous Icelandic Kits & Key Eras
-
2014-16 Erreà Home Kit – One of the earlier official modern era designs: classic blue with a red stripe bordered in white, combining tradition with fresh stylings.
-
Euro 2016 Breakthrough Kit – The home kit worn during Iceland’s unforgettable run to the quarter-finals; defined by its bold blue colour, clean lines, and the atmosphere of unity it helped foster among fans.

Legends & Current Heroes Who’ve Worn the Iceland Shirt
Iceland may be small in population, but its football legacy is large:
- Eiður Guðjohnsen – One of the most famous Icelandic football exports; goals, versatility, and presence at club level made him a national icon.
-
Birkir Bjarnason – The central midfielder known for consistency and many caps, bridging generations.
-
Other notable names include Hörður Magnússon, Sverrir Ingi Ingason, and emerging talents who carry the Viking spirit forward.
Who Makes the Iceland Kit?
-
PUMA — The current supplier of Iceland’s home, away, and alternate kits. Recent releases emphasise sustainability, lightweight fabrics and a blend of performance and style.
-
Erreà — Previous supplier (e.g. 2014-16) contributing early modern era designs that combined national identity with classic sportswear aesthetics.
Iceland Kit Evolution: Identity, Technology & Culture
Iceland’s kit story shows evolution in several dimensions:
-
Colour & Symbolism — The dominant blue home shirt with red/white accents is deeply linked to Iceland’s flag, landscape, and national identity. Away kits often invert, swap, or contrast.
-
Crest & Branding — In recent years, updates to the KSÍ crest, typeface, and identity have added folklore, mythic elements (like the Landvættir: the Icelandic land spirits), and clearer branding across the shirt.
-
Fabric & Fit — Moving from traditional heavier fabrics to light, breathable, performance material; especially in the 2024/25 kits that use advanced fabric technologies.
-
Graphic Design — Use of volcanic/ice motifs, subtle geometric patterns, tonal contrasts; smaller details in collars, cuffs, back neck, also contributed to making each shirt more unique.
Honour a legend like Guðjohnsen, or simply customise with your own identity. Personalisation is available on most adult and junior kit styles.
