Design Story: A Bold Expression of Azzurri Identity

The Italy Euro 2024 pre-match jersey breaks from traditional kit designs, offering a fresh, dynamic aesthetic. While the home and away kits often draw on deep historical roots, the pre-match collection allows for more contemporary and abstract expressions of national pride. For Euro 2024, adidas has delivered a design that is both eye-catching and symbolic.

Visual Elements & Craftsmanship

• Color Palette: Dominated by the iconic Azzurri blue, the jersey incorporates vibrant contrasting colors, often featuring elements of the Italian flag (green, white, red) or other complementary shades that make the design pop.
• Graphic Pattern: The standout feature is the all-over graphic print. Research indicates this pattern is often inspired by abstract interpretations of national symbols, architectural elements, or the vibrant energy of Italian culture and football fandom. The specific pattern for Euro 2024 is a modern, geometric or fluid design that creates a sense of movement and dynamism across the fabric.
• Crest & Logos: The official FIGC crest is proudly displayed on the chest. On the Fan Version, the crest is typically a high-quality embroidered or woven badge, offering a classic, durable feel. The adidas logo (the three bars) is also present, usually embroidered or heat-applied depending on the specific design details, positioned opposite the crest.
• Collar and Cuff Details: Subtle design touches on the collar or cuffs might incorporate additional color accents or patterns, adding to the overall premium feel of the jersey.

Every element is carefully considered, from the placement of the logos to the intricate details of the graphic, ensuring that the jersey is instantly recognizable as belonging to the Italian national team while offering a unique visual identity for the pre-match moments.

Engineered for the Fan: Technology & Comfort

While the Authentic version is built for peak athletic performance, the Fan Version prioritizes comfort and wearability for supporters. adidas equips its replica jerseys with technology designed to keep you feeling good whether you’re cheering from the stands, watching at home, or out and about.

AEROREADY: Stay Dry, Stay Comfortable

• What it is: The core technology in this fan jersey is adidas AEROREADY. This is adidas’s widely used moisture-wicking fabric technology.
• How it Works: AEROREADY fabric is engineered with specific fibers and weave structures that draw sweat away from your skin and disperse it across the fabric surface, where it can evaporate quickly.
• Benefits for the Fan:
  • Moisture Management: Keeps you feeling dry and less clammy, even when the game gets tense or the weather is warm.
  • Enhanced Comfort: The fabric feels soft and comfortable against the skin, perfect for extended wear.
  • Breathability: While not as aggressively ventilated as the Authentic version, the AEROREADY fabric offers good breathability for casual and moderate activity.
• Comparison to Previous Tech: AEROREADY is an evolution of previous adidas moisture-wicking technologies, offering improved absorption and faster drying times, ensuring you stay comfortable for longer.

Sustainable Materials

In line with adidas’s commitment to sustainability, this jersey is made with 100% Recycled Polyester. This material is sourced from recycled plastic waste, helping to reduce environmental impact. By choosing this jersey, you’re not only supporting Italy but also contributing to a more sustainable future for the planet.

Replica vs. Authentic: Choosing Your Italy Jersey

Understanding the difference between the Replica (Fan) Version and the Authentic (Match) Version is crucial for making the right purchase. This product is the Replica Version.

Key Differences Explained:

• Fit:
  • Replica (This Product): Features a Standard Fit. This is a more relaxed, comfortable cut designed for everyday wear. It’s looser through the body and arms, offering freedom of movement and a casual feel.
  • Authentic: Has a Slim/Performance Fit. This cut is much tighter and more tailored to the athlete’s body, designed to minimize distractions and optimize performance on the pitch. It fits like a second skin.
• Fabric Technology & Feel:
  • Replica (This Product): Uses AEROREADY technology. The fabric is generally slightly thicker and softer to the touch, prioritizing comfort and durability for casual use.
  • Authentic: Uses HEAT.RDY technology (or similar high-performance tech). This fabric is ultra-lightweight, often has a textured or mesh-like structure for maximum breathability, and feels very thin and performance-oriented.
• Weight:
  • Replica (This Product): Slightly heavier due to the more durable fabric and embroidered badges.
  • Authentic: Noticeably lighter, engineered for minimal weight during intense activity.
• Breathability/Ventilation:
  • Replica (This Product): Good breathability for casual wear thanks to AEROREADY.
  • Authentic: Superior ventilation, often featuring targeted mesh zones or laser-cut perforations in high-heat areas for extreme breathability required during professional play.
• Badges & Logos:
  • Replica (This Product): Crest and logos are typically embroidered or woven. These offer a traditional look and feel, are very durable, and have a slightly raised texture.
  • Authentic: Crest and logos are usually heat-applied (thermally bonded). This makes them lighter, flatter, and less likely to cause irritation against the skin during high-intensity movement.
• Price:
  • Replica (This Product): More affordable, offering excellent value for fans.
  • Authentic: Significantly more expensive due to the advanced materials and construction methods.
• Recommended Use:
  • Replica (This Product): Ideal for watching games, casual wear, showing support, light activity, and collecting. Offers the official look with maximum comfort.
  • Authentic: Best suited for competitive play, serious training, or for collectors who want the exact jersey worn by the players on the pitch.

The Replica Version is the perfect choice for the vast majority of fans. It provides the authentic look, comfortable fit, and essential moisture management for everyday support, all at a more accessible price point.

Wear Your Azzurri Pride

This Italy pre-match jersey is versatile enough for various occasions:

• Match Day Essential: The ultimate attire for watching Italy play, whether at the stadium, a pub, or at home with friends. Feel part of the collective energy.
• Casual Style: Pair it with jeans or shorts for a comfortable, sporty look that clearly shows your football allegiance.
• Light Activity: Suitable for a casual kickabout in the park or wearing to the gym thanks to the AEROREADY technology.
• Collector’s Item: A unique piece representing the Euro 2024 campaign, distinct from the main kits.

Sizing & Fit Advice

This jersey features a Standard Fit, which is designed to be comfortable and not overly restrictive. It runs true to size for a regular, relaxed feel. For the most accurate fit, we highly recommend consulting the official size chart provided. Consider your usual t-shirt size, but also check the chest and length measurements against the chart to ensure the best fit for your body type. If you prefer a slightly looser fit, you might consider sizing up, but the standard fit is generally generous enough for comfortable casual wear.

Caring for Your Jersey

To keep your Italy Euro 2024 pre-match jersey looking its best and prolong its lifespan, follow these care instructions:

• Wash inside out.
• Use cold water (maximum 30°C or 86°F).
• Use mild detergent.
• Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
• Do not tumble dry; hang to air dry.
• Cool iron if necessary, avoiding direct contact with logos, crests, or printed graphics. Iron inside out.
• Do not dry clean.

Proper care ensures the fabric technology remains effective and the design elements stay vibrant.
