Women’s Euros football kits from Adidas put men's kits to shame

In recent years, Adidas's output of football kits has been incredibly consistent, thanks to increasingly inspired design choices. Adidas even brought back the Originals logo this past season for select third kits, to the joy of many fans.

The German sportswear company is undoubtedly on a hot streak, but with the release of the women's away kits ahead of Euro 2025, it's obvious Adidas has been holding back.

Adidas released eight kits in total, six to feature at the Euros, whilst Northern Ireland and Scotland also received a makeover despite not competing in the upcoming tournament. The women's sides will wear the same home kit as the men during the tournament, which are still lovely — but these away tops are on another level.

When designing these shirts, Adidas has taken inspiration from each nation's unique artistic identity, enhancing each shirt with distinctive designs that really pop without being garish.

There's no denying these shirts are bright and bold, which won't be to everyone's taste. However, I wish this level of fearless experimentation went into designing the men's kits, too. Despite how nice some Adidas kits have been in recent years, the Euro 25 kits perfectly demonstrate that men's shirts could do with taking more risks -- as shown by the popularity of the pink away kit worn by the German men's team at Euro 24.

Keep reading for a detailed look at each of the kits, where we have also ranked them from worst (none are that bad, to be fair) to best.

Adidas women's away kits ranked from worst to best for Euro 2025

Germany

The Germany away kit is at the bottom of this list, and honestly, it's not because it's terrible, but something has to be last. This kit is based on street art seen around urban areas of Germany, which is full of graffiti and murals.

Wales

To mark the team's first international tournament, Adidas has blessed Wales with a charming mint green number to celebrate the traditional Welsh Love Spoon: a symbol of loyalty and togetherness. These ideals will help them throughout the tournament so the team can prove doubters wrong.

Spain

Spain's kit will no doubt turn heads but will likely also be the most divisive of the bunch because it is pretty out there. It really reminds me of a screwball ice cream for some reason. 20th-century Cubism is the inspiration here. As one of the tournament favourites, they could bring the trophy home in style.

Sweden

Sweden's away kit is one of the more classic designs, and it does not take as many risks as some of the other kits released by Adidas. Still, its subtlety has charm as the blue fades from dark to light in the corners, celebrating Abstract Expressionism. I also go mad for a well-sized central badge, so there are some extra points just for that.

Belgium

Bright colours, a sharp pattern, and flames on the back of the kit make this one of the nicest Belgian tops you'll find, and it demonstrates that football could do with more vibrant designs. Especially if the kits keep pushing in the direction of becoming fashion statements.

Italy

This Italy kit is bold, with contrasting red stripes resting on the shoulders and a pattern inspired by Italian Realism and Naturalism. As with all the above kits, Adidas wants to see the shirts pop in the crowd and be worn down the pub regardless of whether or not a game is on.

The most exciting thing about this is that all of the above kits are available on Adidas's website for men's, women's, and kids' sizing. So the whole family can get kitted out to enjoy the only football on tele this summer. It will be interesting to see if more steps are taken in the future to get more creative with men's football kits, but if not, at least we can pick up one of these.
