Fans were in amazement as Premier League players Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard unveiled the new Norway uniforms.
The sole distinction between Norway and England’s new-look shirts unveiled ahead of Euro 2024 this summer is that the Norwegians won’t be participating in the competition.

This time, Haaland was not injured.Given that friendly matches are the only occasions when Norwegian supporters will get to see this obviously magnificent kit on the field, Monday’s kit announcement was likely bittersweet for them.
Neutral supporters certainly seem to be big fans, though, with one writing on X: “Out of nowhere, Norway come out with two absolute belters.”
“I have to get my hands on that new Norway kit, it’s magnificent,” wrote another, while a third fan said: “That’s one of the cleanest kits I’ve seen. Wow.”
And it seems even rivals are keen on the new Norway design, with a Sweden fan saying: “Are you telling me that I will need to buy a Norway kit AS A SWEDE?! It feels very wrong but at the same time it feels like the only right thing to do.”
