Switzerland Football
Kit
Despite their relatively modest
standing in world football, Switzerland have been one of the most consistent
European nations of the past 20 years, regularly reaching World Cup and
European Championship Finals and breaking into the top 20 of the official FIFA
World Rankings.
The Switzerland football shirt
has been worn by a number of good players over the years, but they have never
had anyone who would have been considered a superstar. Instead, the Swiss
success has been based on a strong team ethic, which has served them well in
recent qualification campaigns.
Switzerland's most notable achievement came in 1924. At the
summer Olympics in Paris, they were to reach the final only to be defeated by
Uruguay.
In 1934 and 38, Switzerland would reach the quarter finals
of the World Cup. 16 years later, Switzerland would host the World Cup again
reaching the quarter final stage only to be defeated by Austria 7-5 in a
thrilling encounter. Unfortunately, until this day, this would be the last time
Switzerland would reach a World Cup quarter final!
In 1992, Switzerland would appoint Roy Hodgson as their
manager and after a string of impressive results, the nation would rise to
their highest ever world ranking of 3rd. Despite this, Switzerland would fail
to live up to that billing and were knocked out in the second round by Spain at
the 1994 World Cup. This tournament saw one of the most famous Swiss jerseys of
all time, worn by the likes of striker Stephane Chapuisat, who was the star
player at the time.
Since the turn of the millennium, Switzerland have been virtually
ever present at major tournaments only missing out on the World Cup in 2002 and
the European Championships in 2012. Under the guidance of current coach
Vladimir Petkovic, Switzerland would reach the knockout stages of Euro 2016 for
the first time but were defeated by Poland on penalties.
Switzerland Home
Shirt
The Swiss home jersey has always been predominantly red with
white shorts, socks and detailing, which ties in with the national flag.
Switzerland signed a multi-year kit partnership with Puma, which would last
until 2018.
The Switzerland away jersey is traditionally a reverse of
the home kit, with white shirt being worn with red shorts and socks.
Switzerland shirts have never been one of our best selling international kits,
but sales have increased in recent seasons as an increasing number of players
such as Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka signed for English Premier League
teams.
Switzerland Shirt
Printing
At UKSoccershop, we offer printing on all Switzerland Home
and Away shirts as well as all leisure wear we have available in our extensive
International range. Since we started trading in 2004, record goal scorer
Alexander Frei has been our best selling players but in recent years the likes
of Xhaka, Shaqiri and Breel Embolo have taken over as our most popular players.
If you can't decide what player to have printed, you can customise and have
your own name and number printed!
