The Greece EURO 2004 jersey has been reissued as an exact recreation of the away shirt the national team wore at UEFA EURO 2004. Like twenty-two years ago, the shirt comes from adidas and reproduces the kit Greece used during its UEFA EURO 2004 campaign, the tournament in which the team won its first and only major international football title.
The Greece EURO 2004 away kit design has a white base with dark blue details, which draws on the colors of the Greek national flag. Because the release is an exact recreation, the shirt follows the look of the original worn in Portugal rather than offering a reinterpretation of it.
The shirt has a specific place in the tournament’s history. Greece wore it in the final, where the team defeated a young Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of a star-studded Portugal side 1-0. That result completed a remarkable underdog run in which Greece defied the odds to take the title.
The kit stayed in use after the tournament, as Greece continued to wear it during FIFA World Cup 2006 qualifiers. Its life as a playing shirt therefore extended beyond the 2004 European Championship, which gives the design a longer match history than a single competition.
The recreation also keeps the oversized fit that was common in soccer jerseys from the mid-1990s to the late 2000s. That cut is part of what separates the Greece EURO 2004 jersey from the closer-fitting shirts that later became standard, and it keeps the replica in line with the proportions of its era.
