Euro 2012 begins tomorrow, which for soccer fans means one thing—no, not the chance to see the world’s best players—it means all kinds of new boots and kits to spend our hard earned cash on. So, forget about camping for the Yeezy’s—get stuck into our guide to the best gear you’ll see in action at Euro 2012.
Adidas Tango 12 Euro 2012 ball
The Tango has been the ball used at World Cup and European Championship tournaments for as long as we can remember—it's iconic. This updated version for Euro 2012 will be used in every game of the tournament, and for $120, your next kickaround at the park.
Holland Away (Nike)
The Dutch are known for their legendary orange shirts, but it's their away jersey that is the object of our affection this time out. All black with a hint of orange, this is one of the stand-out kits of Euro 2012.
Umbro Geometra Pro Touch Gloves
As you'd expect from Umbro, the design of these gloves is on point, forming part of the brand's St. George Collection of apparel, boots, gloves and luggage. They also feature all of the performance tech you'll need to make those Hollywood diving saves in your pick-up games this summer.
France Home (Nike)
Since taking the reins from Adidas, Nike has done a great job with the French team kit. The military inspired Euro 2012 home shirt is a classic design with great detailing. The smar collar will have you walking on to the pitch with that Eric Cantona swagger.
Sweden Away (Umbro)
Another classy kit from Umbro, this time for the Swedish national team. Deep navy blue, striking yellow sash, and a nice tailored fit. Keeping it simple FTW.
Germany Away (Adidas)
This new away jersey, designed by Adidas, gives the German players a great retro-styled shirt, with a subtle design finished with the iconic three stripes.
Nike Clash Collection
Nike always bring the heat when it comes to soccer boots at major tournaments, and this year is no exception. The Euro 2012 releases, dubbed the 'Clash Collection', feature a consistent white/bright color clash across all four boots-– Mercurial (white/red), CTR (white/blue), T90 (white/green), and Tiempo (white/black).
Adidas Predator Lethal Zones
The Predator is one of the most iconic soccer boots of recent times—made famous back in the day by the likes of David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane. The Lethal Zones are a completely new take on the Predator, featuring five specially designed control zones placed around the boot to improve touch and power.
Poland Home (Nike)
Poland might not be on the top of the list of teams that come to mind when you're planning you're Euro 2012 viewing schedule, but they do possess one of the nicest looking jerseys.
England Home (Umbro)
Umbro makes the most stylish kits in soccer, and the new England home jersey is no exception. Simple and clean, with a great tailored fit—yet again Umbro have produced a shirt that looks as good off the pitch as on it.
