some of the kits that will be showcased in euro 2012 (and used in friendlies beginning this weekend) are rolling out. here's spain's....

i really like it. in the video you can see that there's a 'sublimated' (i think that's the word) sash across the chest, similar to the USA kit. i think that the adidas logo on the chest is featured a little too much, but i do like the number font (although it seems a little small) - hopefully it's paired with a similar name on back font (the current adidas one for national teams is terrible). i wouldn't be surprised if spain got special treatment for this kit as opposed to a cookie cutter design that other adidas national teams will get, so those could look different. i love the socks.
as an aside, i've always wondered why xavi wears 8 for the national team, and iniesta wears 6 (they're reversed at barcelona) - is this intentional, or a coincidence. i've tried googling and found nothing, but i don't speak spanish so that could be why.
new germany kit. very traditional, which is good in my opinion. same font used for the spain kit, so it looks like that will be adidas-wide....
again, the sash across the chest - adidas did a great job using the colors of the flag....
puma's switzerland republic kit....
the bad news is that they've decided to keep the lower case NOB font.... i hate it with a passion....
and finally, the czech republic....
soccer.com has tweeted that a new netherlands kit won't be out until 2012, so i would expect all other nike countries to not see anything new until then either.
