PUMA today released the Czech Republic EURO 2016 away kit. The mainly white uniform will be worn by all of the Football Association of the Czech Republic (FACR) national teams during the 2016/17 international football calendar.
The shirt will be available soon at World Soccer Shop, Kitbag, UK Soccer Shop, Lovell Soccer and Subside Sports along with the former EURO runners-up new home kit. It will be first worn in the team’s international friendly against Scotland on 24 March, as they continue their preparation for EURO 2016 in France this summer.
The Czech Republic’s new away shirt design remains classic in white with understated royal blue detailing on the hem, collar and Form Stripe panels along the sleeves. The Form Stripe continues down on the shorts, creating a sleek appearance. The body of the shirt features tonal horizontal embossed hoops, which add a subtle hint of style to the overall sleek look. The PUMA logo and FACR badge are located on the left and right side of the chest, adding subtle red detail to the all white and blue kit.
The new Czech shirt features PUMA’s new apparel technology ACTV Thermo-R, strategically inserted in both the front and the back of the shirt to help players maintain an optimum body temperature. A unique phase-change material is injected into the shirt’s inner athletic tape, which allows microcapsules to absorb excess heat and release it back to the body when needed. The taping in the shirt provides an extra snug fit, micro-massaging the skin in specific areas to provide a faster, more effective energy supply to the active muscles.
Tomáš Rosický of the Czech national team said, “The new away kit has a classic look to it, which is a style I really like. It’s a shirt we will all wear with pride in France. We qualified top of our group for the Euros so we are going into the tournament with confidence, and we are motivated to do well for the people of the Czech Republic.”
