Denmark football jersey 2022

Even before Denmark played a single minute in Qatar, the shirt had gained a significance that extended far beyond the pitch. Hummel faded both its own logo and the DBU emblem in red – a conscious choice surrounding a World Cup marked by the debate about the host country.

FOOTBALL MEMORIES

The design also looked back 30 years. The stripes and Hummel's classic chevrons were inspired by the 1992 shirt – the year Denmark entered the tournament as a late replacement and left Sweden as European champions. On the inside, the DBU narrative continued with the messages "FOR DENMARK" and "PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER".

Sportingly, the expectations were almost the opposite story. Kasper Hjulmand's team arrived in Qatar after the European Championship semi-final in 2021 and with Christian Eriksen back on the national team. Denmark had even beaten France twice in the Nations League in the months leading up to the World Cup.

But the World Cup was an anti-climax. A 0-0 draw against Tunisia was followed by a 1-2 loss to France, where Andreas Christensen equalized before Kylian Mbappé sealed the match. Against Australia, Denmark had to win to keep the tournament alive. Instead, the team lost 0-1 and went home as fourth in the group with one point and one goal.

Thus, this national team shirt became almost more remembered for what surrounded the World Cup than for Danish football on the pitch: the 1992 reference, the faded logos, and a Danish national team that arrived in Qatar with high sporting expectations and left the tournament after three matches.
