NETHERLANDS

Questions remain about Netherlands manager Frank de Boer and his tactics. But, the Oranje have once more produced an excellent kit for Euro 2020. With their kit sporting a trademark orange and the outline of a lion, the team will hope their game gets as much attention as their new kit.

Stars like Memphis Depay, Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt will be in action for the Oranje at Euro 2020. The Netherlands will be keen to make an impact at the Euro and certainly have the personnel to do so. However, they have been extremely inconsistent under De Boer.

ITALY

Inspired by Renaissance architecture, the Italy kit at Euro 2020 is a thing of beauty. Italy's new jersey sports subtle designs, an ode to the creativity during the Renaissance period. Italy will be seen in action with some big names like Lorenzo Insigne, and Giorgio Chiellini among others.

The arrival of Roberto Mancini as manager has ushered in a new era for Italy and transformed their fortunes. The Azzurri, who are on an impressive unbeaten streak, are one of the dark horses for the Euro 2020 title. They had lost in the quarterfinals of the previous Euro Cup.

FRANCE

At Euro 2020, Didier Deschamps' men will wear a kit inspired by the one they wore during their triumphant 1998 FIFA World Cup-winning campaign, a tournament where Deschamps was the captain. France's Euro 2020 jersey is dark blue in colour with light blue strips on it.

With superstars like Paul Pogba, Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann and Karim Benzema in their ranks, France are the overwhelming favourites to win the Euro 2020. Under Deschamps, Les Bleus won the FIFA World Cup in 2018 and ended runners-up in Euro 2016 respectively.

GERMANY

Germany's Euro 2020 kit is an impressive one. A classic Germany kit, Die Mannschaft's Euro 2020 apparel includes a white jersey with black horizontal stripes. However, there are doubts about Germany's title hopes at Euro 2020, particularly with regards to squad selection and tactics

Also, UEFA Euro 2020 will be Germany's long-standing manager Joachim Low's last tournament as the team's manager. Having been at the job since 2006, the German has led his country to success at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil and also led them to the Euro 2008 final.

CROATIA
IMAGE CREDITS: GETTY
A lot has changed for Croatia since their dream run to the final of the FIFA World Cup in 2018. Long-serving players like Mario Mandzukic and Ivan Rakitic have retired from national duty, so the pressure on midfielder and veteran captain Luka Modric could be immense at the Euro 2020 .

However, there is little change to their kit - the classic red and white checks still dominate their jersey. The Croatia jersey stands out because of its unique pattern. At Euro 2020, young stars like Duje Caleta-Car, Josko Gvardiol and Nikola Vlasic will be given a key role by coach Zlatko Dalić.
