1996 Season Germany Away

1996 UEFA European Championship in England: This away kit witnessed the “War Machine's” championship miracle: In the opening group stage match, Germany wore this jersey to defeat the Czech Republic 1-0. They narrowly beat Croatia 2-1 in the quarterfinals, then eliminated host nation England in a penalty shootout during the semifinals. In the final, substitute Oliver Bierhoff first equalized with a header, then scored the first golden goal in European Championship history to defeat the Czech Republic, helping Germany lift their third European Cup trophy. Core players like Klinsmann and Matthäus wore it, embodying the German football spirit through resilience and teamwork.
The jersey recreates the classic 90s design: a deep, steady blue dominates, breaking from the traditional pure white home kit to showcase understated strength for away matches; Horizontal red, black, and yellow stripes across the chest cleverly echo the national flag, while the black-embroidered federal eagle emblem stands solemn and striking. Adidas' iconic three-stripe shoulder design features a contrasting white colorway. Thick polyester fabric and a relaxed cut recreate the authentic on-field feel of the era, enhanced by flocked numbering for a retro touch.
This jersey stands as a testament to Germany's first major tournament victory as a unified nation and embodies the enduring spirit of “Never Give Up.” Wearing it captures the pinnacle moment of the golden goal victory while perpetuating the iron-willed legacy that blends retro style with championship heritage across time.
