The Most Iconic Belgium Football Shirts of All Time

Belgium’s national team has produced some of the most memorable moments in world football — and just as many unforgettable football shirts. From the golden days of the 1980s to modern tournament success, each kit tells a story.

At Nostalgic Football Shirts, we celebrate the originals — like the legendary Belgium 2000–02 away shirt, which we proudly stock in original condition. But that’s just one chapter in a rich footballing wardrobe. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit Belgium’s most iconic football shirts of all time.

1. Belgium 1984 Home Shirt – Le Coq Sportif Brilliance

Worn during the UEFA European Championship in 1984, this shirt stands out as one of the most stylish in Belgium’s history. Designed by Le Coq Sportif, it featured a bold red base with a distinctive diamond pattern across the chest, reflecting the national colors in a striking yet elegant way.

Worn by legends like Franky Vercauteren, it’s remembered as much for its fashion as for the football — a true cult classic among collectors.

2. Belgium 1986 World Cup Shirt

The 1986 World Cup in Mexico marked one of Belgium’s greatest performances, reaching the semi-finals. The team, led by the likes of Jean-Marie Pfaff, Jan Ceulemans, and Enzo Scifo, wore a red Adidas kit with minimal design and traditional white numbering.

Simple yet powerful, this shirt became an instant classic thanks to the drama and glory it witnessed on the pitch — including that unforgettable semi-final against Argentina.

3. Belgium 1994 Away Shirt

Clean, rare, and minimalist — the white Belgium away kit worn during the 1994 World Cup in the United States is beloved by collectors today. Featuring subtle red and black trim, it was a sharp departure from the louder designs of the era.

It stood out for its simplicity and elegance, and was worn during Belgium’s group stage match against Morocco — a game remembered for Enzo Scifo’s control and precision.

4. Belgium 2000–02 Away Shirt

This iconic shirt was worn during Belgium’s co-hosted Euro 2000 campaign. Designed by Lotto, the shirt featured a crisp white base with black and red detailing, matching the national colors in a clean, modern look.

It’s a beautiful reminder of an ambitious era in Belgian football, when the country took center stage both on and off the pitch.

5. Belgium 2002 Home Shirt

In 2002, Belgium returned to the World Cup wearing one of their boldest shirts ever. The design featured a striking red base with a darker red cross through the chest — a risky but memorable visual that split opinions at the time.

It’s now considered a collector's gem, especially because of Marc Wilmots’ performances, including the decisive goal against Russia in the group stage.

6. Belgium 2014 World Cup Shirt

After over a decade away from major tournaments, Belgium returned to the global stage in Brazil 2014 with a new golden generation. Their kit, designed by Burrda Sport, was a clean red shirt with yellow accents and a subtle national crest woven into the fabric.

Worn by players like Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne, and Romelu Lukaku, it marked the beginning of Belgium’s modern-era dominance.

7. Belgium 2018 World Cup Shirt

Inspired by the legendary 1984 shirt, the 2018 home kit brought back the diamond pattern — this time modernised by Adidas. It struck the perfect balance between nostalgia and performance.

Belgium had their best-ever World Cup performance in this kit, beating Brazil in the quarter-finals and finishing third overall. With Kompany, Hazard, and De Bruyne at the heart of the squad, this shirt has already earned legendary status.

8. Belgium Euro 2020 Shirt

This shirt reflected Belgium’s ambition and aggression. With a black and red brushstroke design diagonally across the front, it was bold, modern, and visually powerful.

Worn by the likes of Jeremy Doku and Romelu Lukaku, the shirt captured the energy of a team hungry for silverware — and maintained their status as one of the world’s most feared attacking sides.

Conclusion

From bold early designs to modern masterpieces, Belgium’s football shirts reflect the evolution of a nation’s footballing journey. Each kit represents more than just fabric — it holds the emotion of goals, tackles, heartbreak, and history.
