Portugal Football
Shirts
In 2016, Portugal achieved their
first major tournament victory when they stunned hosts France to win the
European Championships Final. Led by manager Fernando Santos, they managed to
end the tournament undefeated despite only winning one game in 90 minutes. It
was a reversal of their role in the 2004 Championships when, as the strongly
favoured host nation, they lost the final to the unfancied Greece, who were
also winning their first major tournament.
While the Euro 2016 win was seen
by many as a surprise, that belies the form of the Portuguese as they had
reached a minimum of the quarter finals ever since 1996 and boast one of the
world’s greatest ever players in Cristiano Ronaldo.
With a population of just over 10
million, Portugal have produced many top quality players in recent times with
the likes of Pepe, Luis Figo, Deco, Nani and most recently Renato Sanches who
has just moved to Bayern Munich. However, when ever you think of Portugual, 2
big names spring to mind - Cristiano Ronaldo and Eusebio. Eusebio spearheaded
Portugal to their best ever finish in a World Cup in 1966 where they finished
third. What was even more remarkable was
that this was their first appearance at a major tournament. He scored 41 goals
in 64 games for his country and is widely regarded as one of the greatest of
all time.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the current
holder of the Ballon D'or is the most capped player for Portugal as well as
being the all-time top goalscorer. At Euro 2016, he also equalled Michel
Platini's record of most goals scored in the competition.
Portugal Home Kit
Portugal’s home shirt has always
stayed in line with the country's colours represented on the flag. The shirt is
predominantly a deep red and has green piping.
One of the most famous Portugal
home jerseys of recent times was the Euro 2004 jersey. The tournament was
Cristiano Ronaldo’s first and it was at this tournament that Nike produced
their best template in many years, with a unique circle around the front number
of the shirt.
Portugal tend to rotate between
green or red shorts and socks to complete the look for their home strip.
Portugal Away shirt
The Portuguese away shirt has
been various different colours over the years such as black, white and most
recently a glowing green.
Traditionally, black jerseys have
sold the best for us, however this was unsurprisingly surpassed by sales of the
victorious Euro 2016 away kit.

Portugal Shirt History
In 1980, Portugal started a 14
year association with Adidas who supplied their kit throughout this period. In
1995, they moved to Olympic, a sports brand based in Belgium. However, this
turned out to only be a short term measure as in 1998, they moved to Nike where
they have remained ever since.
