It's going to be an exciting summer of sport with the Women's European Championship taking place in England this year. The tournament kicks off on July 6, with the final taking place at Wembley on July 31.

Cities like Brighton and Hove, Manchester, Sheffield, and Southampton will be hosting group games. The rapid growth of the women's game has meant that tickets to the final sold out within an hour of going on sale. However, you can still grab some of the new kit launches for the tournament by top names like Adidas and Nike.

All of the Adidas designs focus on sustainability at the forefront as the shirts are made from materials using Parley Ocean Plastic. The kits were first revealed in a photographic campaign set in the same hotel used to film the music video for Spice Girls' 'Wannabe'.

Nike has also started to release their kits for the English, French, Dutch, Norweigan, Portuguese and Finnish national sides. The brand's campaign for their released kits focuses on paying tribute to those who have helped develop the women's game and the empowering stage it currently is at.

Here are all the Women's European Championship national kits released so far.

The Belgium national home shirt has pushed the boat out by opting for a black kit rather than their usual red colourway. Nevertheless, it's a sleek shirt with the colours used from the Belgian national flag, particularly with the yellow three stripes and brand logo, which goes well with the red line detailing on the collar and sleeves.

The French home kit gathers its usual royal blue colour, but Nike has added a twist with a decorative design. The print takes inspiration from and references neoclassical art and architecture. This is combined with the nation's tricolour to form the full kit: a blue jersey, white shorts and red socks.

Nike has nailed down a sleek and modern away kit for France, which is simply white with a rose pink national crest. A light pink embroidery strip also runs down each side of the shirt with the french flag on the outer left sleeve completing the look of a classic looking French away shirt.

The England home kit is constructed using a bespoke knit pattern which references the angular line of cut diamonds. This fine detailing pairs well with an iridescent glow added to the national team badge, which ties in with Nike's message of paying respect to the players who have made women's football what it is today. The singular triangular cut at the back of the collar finishes off the look in another great take on the classic, white England home shirt.

Nike has gone bold with a crimson colourway for the away kit to create a national team shirt, unlike anything that's come before. Once again, the badge has a pearl-like iridescent glow which almost looks like fire members with a red colourway. Maroon on the collar and sleeve lines add a nice contrast, whilst the triangular theme in the embroidery at the back of the collar is brilliant little touch to carry on their diamond theme.

Germany has gone with a classic white home shirt that is synonymous with them. But it's all in the sleeve details which don little squares of the colours of the German flag - black, yellow and red. It creates a pattern which makes the sleeves pop - the same effect is repeated once on the left side of the collar.

By contrast, the away shirt comes in a teal colourway, with a unique abstract pattern which looks like moving water. It's also a throwback to a similar colourway used by the men's team during the World Cup in 1996. The German woven crest present at the centre of both shirts finishes off the look.

Nike has stuck with the tried and tested Netherlands home kit we have been used to seeing throughout several football tournaments. But, they've also revitalised the nation's classic orange jersey with a stylish new edge of a complimentary black trim. The abstract embroidery on the trim runs down both sides of the shirt.

Sticking with the abstract theme, the away shirt draws inspiration from De Stijl, which is proudly a Dutch art movement. Colour blocking blue and red square rectangular shapes are randomly placed on the shirt to achieve the art movement's colourful aesthetic. A blue embroidered swoosh and national crest complete the look.

Thus far, Adidas has only given Northern Ireland a new home kit. It's a simple but effective kit with a nod to previous classic Northern Ireland shirts. The grass green shirt, with the traditional round white collar and plain sleeves, makes it an effective colourway. A bright pop of colour comes from the yellow on the national badge.

The Spain home kit is very classic looking and will be familiar to those who follow major international tournaments. The simple red colourway with navy and yellow detailing on the sleeve cuffs is lovely. The bold navy collar gives the shirt some character, with the entire design a throwback to the '90s style of Spain national team home shirts.

A more light and airy approach has been taken on Spain's away shirt, with the same template featured on Germany's away shirt. The colourway on the Spanish away kit is metallic blue, which looks more like clouds floating through a blue sky than water. Every detail, including the national emblem, Adidas logo, and stripes, are in navy blue, which gives the look a nice contrast.

This summer, Sweden went with an audacious campaign behind their home shirt for the Euros. Adidas created an entire campaign around giving the country's opponents every detail on each of their players, called 'How To Stop Sweden'. The shirt itself shows the classic yellow and blue national colourway. A nice little detail at the back of the collar featuring the word 'Sverige' showcases the Swedish pride.

Sweden's away kit gains its inspiration from the Swedish coastline. The dark navy colourway features a wavy design on the shirt, with a wavy silhouette also present on the collar. The Adidas logo's bright yellow brand detailing and three stripes make the shirt pop with colour.
