Belgium's Change Kit at Euro 2024 Has Been Leaked. Is It a Tribute to Comic-Strip Hero Tintin?
Belgium's Euro 2024 kit has been leaked. Speculation arises: Is it a homage to the comic-strip hero Tintin?
Several Belgian soccer players at the upcoming European Championship might sport a change kit paying homage to the iconic reporter Tintin, as per leaks on specialized websites. The Belgian federation plans to reveal this Euro 2024 kit at the Hergé Museum, dedicated to Tintin's creator, during a press conference.
Coach Domenico Tedesco is set to announce the squad for upcoming friendlies against Ireland and England on the same day. While leaks suggest the kit resembles Tintin's trademark ensemble of a light blue jersey with a white collar, brown shorts, and white socks, the federation neither confirmed nor denied these details when contacted by The Associated Press.
In Tintin's adventures, he often wears a blue sweater over a white-collared shirt, paired with brown cutoff pants, white socks, and brown shoes. Tintin, created by Hergé, first appeared in 1929, captivating readers globally with his travels and escapades, selling over 270 million copies in 70 languages.
If the tribute is confirmed, it is unlikely to generate the controversy seen when Belgium sought to wear "Love"-branded jerseys at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar due to a commercial connection to a rave festival. The potential Tintin homage adds a cultural touch to the football scene, celebrating Belgium's rich heritage in comic-book storytelling.
