Below is how the brand announced this partnership through an official press release:
"In Portugal, doing things ‘por amor à camisola’ or ‘for the love of the jersey’, means doing things out of passion, commitment, and love for the cause endeavor, or team. The new Portugal Home kit captures this emotion with the men’s jersey featuring a classic red base with gold and green detailing with a crew neck collar."
It also adds,
"The women’s jersey features a red base with green, mint and black detailing and a custom crew neck collar. Along with the signature Portuguese colors each jersey features a custom repeated graphic of the Quinas emblem from the national coat of arms."
PUMA’s Senior Director of Product Line Management Performance Apparel, Marco Mueller, shared his excitement over this partnership, saying,
"We are very proud to unveil the first-ever PUMA Portugal Home and Away kits for both the men’s and women’s teams. We are thrilled to partner with one of the most exciting national teams in the world and bring a new era to Portuguese football with custom products for both the men’s and women’s teams and create products that resonate with the incredible passion, culture and history of Portugal."
