The French Riviera – The French Riviera takes the field in a football kit that evokes sun-kissed sands, endless azure waters, and a kaleidoscope of colourful beach umbrellas.

Nouvelle-Aquitaine – The land of Bordeaux wines and sandy beaches perfectly plays the pitch in a shirt that is soaked with shades of deep burgundies, contrasted by beige lines representative of vineyards that cross its land.

Puglia – Shades of cobalt and aquamarine, evoking the Adriatic Sea, are easily seen during a football match. The shades of olive and the stark white geometric patterns recall the Puglia’s rich architecture and olive production.

Tuscany – Tuscany rushes the field in a football kit that has a bold upper torso, heavy with the colours of red wine and purple-hued sunsets that dip below fertile green valleys and earthy beiges.

Costa del Sol – Spain’s Sun Coast makes a colourful splash on the field. Its shirt features rich browns balanced against soothing turquoise and bright white, recalling the region’s Nerja Caves, sparkling Mediterranean Sea, and historic architecture.

The Canary Islands – Taking the pitch, the Canary Islands don a dramatic football kit. The islands’ volcanic birth is represented by the bold black background juxtaposed against the magma-red geometric design.

North Rhine-Westphalia – This German state takes on the competition in a memorable football kit. The shades of walnut and moss juxtapose a shower of pink hues that recall cherry blossoms.
