The Belgium 2020/22 away shirt is a great reminder of the country's so-called Golden Generation at their peak. The shirt was worn during the delayed Euro 2020 tournament, where Belgium won all three of their group games before facing Portugal in the last 16. Thorgan Hazard produced the decisive moment with a brilliant long-range strike to knock out the reigning European champions, before Belgium's run came to an end against eventual winners Italy in the quarter-finals.
The design takes Belgium well away from their familiar red, with a light grey and white base covered by a subtle patterned effect across the body. Red adidas stripes run down the shoulders, while the sleeve cuffs combine red and black to bring the national colours into the design. The result is a smart, understated shirt that still has plenty of detail when you look closely.
In size Large, this is a particularly nostalgic piece from the era of Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois. Belgium were ranked among the world's best sides during this period, and although they fell short of major silverware, the shirt captures the character of a talented generation that consistently competed at the business end of international tournaments.
