"Belgium love a cultural reference for their kits. For Euro 2024 they used the colour scheme of Tintin’s outfit, complete with brown shorts. This time, their away kit (modelled here by Aston Villa’s Amadou Onana) is apparently inspired by René Magritte, Belgium’s most famous surrealist – even if the colour scheme looks a lot like Japan’s away shirt for the Women’s World Cup in 2023. The real Magritte reference comes on the inside, where it reads: “Ceci n’est pas un maillot” (“This is not a shirt”) in the artist’s signature script. Très arty."
