Switzerland have used one colour code since the association was founded in 1895: red shirts, white shorts and red socks at home, the reverse away, with all-red and all-white variants recurring. The colours come from the flag, so there is no era you can spot by a colour change. The maker does the dating instead. Puma has supplied the Swiss kit since 1998, so any other brand on the chest predates that.
The listing spans 1976 to 2026 but is far from even: of about 165 items, 83 fall in the 2000s and 40 in the 2010s, against 14 from the 1990s, eight from the 1980s and two from the 1970s. That matches the team’s most visible decade. Switzerland co-hosted Euro 2008 with Austria, and at the 2006 World Cup went out without conceding a goal, a tournament record they extended to the 75th minute against Chile in 2010. Their four World Cup quarter-finals came in 1934, 1938, 1954 – the year they hosted and lost 7-5 to Austria in the highest-scoring World Cup match ever – and 2026.
Not everything here is a senior home or away shirt. There are 79 home and 27 away shirts, but also 15 match-issue and eight player-issue items, 11 training tops and five goalkeeper shirts. Seven adidas referee shirts issued by the Swiss federation appear, plus two under-21 shirts, women’s shirts and at least one ice hockey jersey that shares the country name. Prices run from six pounds to 1,200, with the middle near 42.
