All our national sides will make their first appearance in the European Championship wearing the Stripe iD range of garments which Erreà has designed and made to measure for each of them. A common language that will make them stand out, in terms of style and image. Team and leisurewear garments that place the concept of customisation at their centre and are created ad hoc to emphasise their unique, inimitable identity.
