In 2017, Belgium was in the midst of a build-up where results began to match the talent. The team played with confidence, pace, and technical superiority, and it was clear that something bigger was on the way.
The jersey represents the time when players like Hazard, De Bruyne, and Lukaku truly led the national team – not as outsiders, but as favorites. It was a period of big wins, strong qualifications, and a growing belief that Belgium could go all the way.
The design is classic Adidas from the period: a clean red base, graphic details across the chest, and a clear focus on national identity over clutter. A jersey that balances modern expression and tradition.
As a children's jersey, it's not a hardcore collector's item, but it still serves as a strong reminder of a national team heading towards its peak.
Should this jersey go to a young fan – or be kept as a memento of Belgium's great build-up?
