1996 Season Spain Away White Retro

At the 1996 UEFA European Championship in England, this white away kit was hastily produced by Adidas to avoid color clashes with the home red jerseys and opposing broadcasters. The team wore it during the group stage, drawing 1-1 with Bulgaria, defeating Romania 2-1, and holding France to a 0-0 draw to advance. In the knockout stage, they drew 1-1 with England before being eliminated on penalties. This jersey witnessed Raúl's major tournament debut and captured the defensive prowess of Zubizarreta and Hierro.
Crafted by Adidas, this kit features a white base with a round neckline accented by red and yellow trim echoing the national flag. The embroidered crest on the chest incorporates red and yellow stripes, while the iconic red Adidas three-stripes adorn the shoulders. Made from 1990s polyester with a loose cut, its minimalist design embodies the early away kit's “utility-first” aesthetic.
As a rare artifact of Spain's special event kits, it carries memories of the European Championship and the design narrative born from broadcast technology—making it more distinctive than regular jerseys. The white base with national flag details breaks tradition, while its time-sensitive context elevates it to a niche retro collectible. It fills a gap in Spain's kit collection and serves as a tribute to the evolution of 90s football apparel.
