Clean white body with a deep burgundy red V-neck collar, dark green side seam stripes, dark green #16 on the front, black Nike swoosh on the right chest, and the Portuguese Football Federation cross crest on the left. R. CARVALHO arced in dark green across the back with a large #16 beneath it. Nike FIT, size XL. Simple, elegant, understated — the way Portugal's away kits should look.
Ricardo Carvalho was one of the finest centre-backs of his generation, and by Euro 2008 he was at the peak of his powers. He'd already won everything at club level — back-to-back Premier League titles at Chelsea under Mourinho, a Champions League with Porto in 2004, and a reputation as one of the smartest defenders in Europe. For Portugal at Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland, Carvalho anchored the backline alongside Pepe in a squad that featured Ronaldo, Deco, and Simão. Portugal made it to the quarterfinals before falling 3-2 to Germany in a wild match in Basel. Carvalho would go on to join Real Madrid later that summer, adding La Liga titles to his collection.
A defender's name on a national team shirt is always a connoisseur's pick. Nobody grabs the #16 centre-back jersey unless they truly understand the game. This is that kind of piece.
