Kit Detail & Heritage – A Look Back at Macedonia’s Iconic Jerseys
North Macedonia’s kits frequently feature the bold red & yellow of their flag, strong graphical elements, and motifs tied to national identity. Over time, the kits have incorporated symbolic graphics (like the Balkan lynx), sunburst designs, contrasting trims, collar styles, and modern fabric technologies. Jako has been the kit supplier for several years, bringing custom design features and continuity in supplier and style.
