The 2024 Germany home shirt for that year’s Euro tournament has a clean white look for the most part. Much of the design literally rests on the shoulders, which carries a transitional colouring from black to red to yellow starting near the collar. The detailing extends past the shoulders but does not go full blast on the sleeves. Embedded with the said colouring is a subtle repeating diamond pattern that invokes memories of the 1994 World Cup kit. Making this connection more pronounced is the tricolour gradient on the inside of the neckline. And just like the said outfit, the body of the 2024 Germany home carries a tonal pattern, this time a pattern made up of the DFB logo.

World Cup 2022 – After a relatively successful period with Joachim Low that produced a title in 2014, Germany had the Qatar World Cup to kickstart the era of Hansi Flick, who hoped to spread his domestic success to the national side. His wards played with a home shirt notable for its wide central vertical stripe in black and a predominantly black away shirt carrying a maroon all-over graphic. The design was a polygonal representation of the D in Deutschland, applied with a faded and static effect for more dynamism.
World Cup 2018 – Heartbreak ensued as the defending champions exited in the group stage, becoming the 6th overall and the 3rd consecutive nation since 2010 Italy to do so. The black chest graphic on the white home represented a stylised depiction of the waving of the German flag, while the tealish away kit took inspiration from the popular EQT collection of the ’90s, and added pinstripes applications and abstract solid-filled interconected diamond patterns for an active look.
World Cup 2014 – Germany reached the promise land in 2014, after consecutive third place finishes in 2006 and 2010. It was a great moment for the then-debuted Nike Magista Obra as it was worn by Mario Gotze, who scored the winning goal in the finals. The broad chevron chest band with three distinct shades of red provided a memorable detail to this cup-winning German home kit. The change shirt at this time was a broadly hooped shirt in black and red.
World Cup 2010 – One of the talking points for Germany in 2010 was the disallowed goal from England’s Frank Lampard despite the ball clearly going past the line after bouncing off the post. Many in the German camp thought of the decision as going full circle from the controversial 1966 England goal (a similar setup but with the ball clearly not crossing the line) that essentially gave momentum to the nation to finish of Germany en route to the title. In both Euro 2008 (finals) and World Cup 2010 (semifinals), Germany lost to a Spanish side considered as the country’s golden generation. For this World Cup, the home shirt had, running the entire length of the shirt on the left hand side, three pinstripes coloured after the German flag. The black secondary shirt had sufficiently spaced narrow tonal vertical stripes in addition to the pinstriped red trims on the left hand side.
World Cup 2006 – Expectations were low for the Germans in 2006 despite being the host, but did put up a good showing that led to a third place finish.

World Cup 2002 – Germany had a plain-looking home shirt in 2002 (with the three stars above the crest the only other colour detail in black, red, and yellow. The same accents were carried over to the alternate shirt, which was predominantly grey, bluish and dark on the sleeves and chest band, and a bit brighter for the rest of the body. Germany’s campaign in this World Cup had lots of surprises. First, despite the rich history of Brazil and Germany in football, their 2002 WC finals match was just their first meeting! Second, Germany was not expected to do much due to their poor qualifiers and managed to go all the way, just failing the final hurdle against a Brazilian side led by the great three Rs of Ronaldo, Rivaldo, and Ronaldinho.

World Cup 1994 – Both the white home and teal away had a rippled polygonal design draping over the top edge of the shirt. The graphic made no mistake that the shirts were for Germany because of the colours representing the national flag. Germany also suffered a quarterfinal upset, this time to Bulgaria via 2-1 scoreline.
World Cup 1990 – The 1990 kits provided the inspiration for the design of the 2018 kits. The angular representation of the waving of the German flag was more pronounced in this cup-winning home kit, having broader stripings that were coloured after the national flag. Also becoming popular was the predominantly green with white spraypaint-like fade alternate kit. The colourway resulted to a 3D effect-a chevron formation of interconnected bricks. Andreas Brehme’s 85th minute penalty secured the title for then West Germany and a measure of revenge against 1986 World Cup champions Argentina.
World Cup 1986 – The white home and green away kits this World Cup featured a templated design of tonal rhombuses formed into a diagonal striping formation.

At extra time, a back and forth of goals led to a dramatic 4-3 victory for the eventual runners-up Italy.
World Cup 1966 – Germany’s ’66 kits had a similar look as their uniforms in ’74, employing the bespoke white and green base with black and white collarsfor the home and away shirts, respectively. Germany reached the finals of ’66 against host England. Tied 2-2 going into extra time, momentum shifted to the home side with the controversial third goal(whether the ball fully moved past the goal line is still debated to this date)being awarded. Geoff Hurst added another one at the last minute, producing the now-iconic ‘It is now…’ commentary.
