The Belgium Euro 2024 away kit has dropped: and this one is special.
With Euro 2024 just around the corner, Adidas have dropped their international shirts – and Belgium have been treated. The home is a dark red top that goes deeper than the Red Devils have ever had before, while the away is a contrasting blue.
With so many memorable Euro 2024 kits this time around though, this one could be a gamechanger.
The Belgium Euro 2024 away kit is an ode to… Tintin!?

Yes, these are the colours that the classic blonde Tintin donned when out on adventure with Snowy. He's Belgian, by the way (is it us or does he look like De Bruyne?).
Not only is this is a gorgeous shirt with a stunning base pattern and lovely collar, it feels like a concept kit brought to life. It's special, a tribute to a literary character and we'd love to see more of it.
“The away jersey celebrates the rich art and design culture in Belgium, specifically Belgium cartoonist, Hergé, and the comic character he is famously known for; Tintin,” Adidas confirms. “Inspired by Tintin’s iconic outfit, a royal nod is found on the back of the collar with a golden crown that glimmers against a bright blue backdrop.
”Embossed into the print of both articles is a tessellation of 3D diamonds, including geometric lines, that emulate the Royal Belgian football crest. The two jerseys are also bound via the same emblem, which showcases the crown, national flag, and the date of 1895.”
It's a lovely shirt but is it enough for Belgium to go all the way at the Euros?
Oh – and Adidas, please give Peru a Paddington jersey.
