The Belgian Away Kit is Made with Inspiration from Tintin

adidas designed a new Belgian away kit for Euro 2024 and it is inspired by one of the most beloved characters from the country. Tintin is a cartoon or a young reporter by Hergé and he is the latest influence on the national football team. The bright red tones are replaced by the calm blues.

The jersey has a base of sky blue with crisp white details in contrast at the collar, which references Tintin's iconic attire. The shorts follow the same color palette as it is complete in a rich brown tone that mimics the character's outfit even further. It is complete with a pair of classic white socks to finish the entire look.
