The new Portugal Euro 2016 Home Kit celebrates the return to Portugal's traditional light red and green design after their last shirt boasted a striking color gradient design on the front. It was officially revealed today and will be debuted in the friendly against Bulgaria on March 25.
"Wearing the shirt of the national team and playing with this symbol on my chest is always a great honor. We play for a whole country, for all the Portuguese living in Portugal or abroad, for our families, for our friends, and this is always special," says Ronaldo. "This new kit makes us feel stronger than ever, lighter and more agile. Me and my teammates can’t wait to start playing and winning matches with it!"

This is the new Portugal Euro 2016 Home Jersey.
Based on the same design as the new England and France Euro 2016 Kits, the new Portugal Euro 2016 Home Shirt combines a light red main color with a darker shade of red for the design on the sleeves to create a design that is set to be a hit amongst supporters. Light green is used for the collar and the side of the shirt, in line with such kits as the Portugal Euro 2004 Home Kit, while there are no yellow elements this time.
"Nação" (Nation) and "Valente" (Brave), representing the adventurous spirit of the Portuguese, are knit into the inside cuffs while the inside of the body reveals an Armillary Sphere, a storied navigation tool that to pays homage to Portugal’s rich seafaring heritage.
Following Nike's PSG 15-16 CL kit, the new Portugal 2016 home shirt features an elaborate mesh panel on the front in the authentic variant.
Red shorts and green socks complement the new Portugal Euro 2016 Home Jersey.
