Last year Nike and Turkey unveiled a new design for their away kits. Now this is always a big deal, however this time around was more shocking than anything else as the away kit went from being the traditional red to solid white.

I really like this kit because it is simple and extremely nice looking with the mix of colors. But I have no idea where the light blueish green on the collar comes from. Maybe one of you can tell me, but I know it does not match the National colors of Turkey so I’m lost as to where it came from. On a side note it looks great on this kit with the contrast of white and the Turkey National Flag on the left chest. Overall a great looking kit that deserves 4 out of 5 stars. Great work Nike and Turkey.

Update: SL reader ‘linda’ writes in: “you said you didn’t know what the light blue color around the neck was about as it didn’t appear on the flag. that blue is turquoise and is known as turkish blue. it’s like italy’s blue or netherlands’ orange…”

Thanks for the assist linda!”
