The main components of the new jersey design include the inscription "United for Ukraine" and a patch with the graphics of the U24 platform. In addition, at the initiative of the President of the UAF, UEFA Executive Committee member Andriy Pyvovar, two original elements were added to the jersey design. The first is a unique image of the map of Ukraine with borders in the form of flags of countries that support our country in its war against Russian occupiers. This is as a sign of respect and gratitude to foreign partners for their help. The second element — player numbers, which are depicted in the form of names of Ukrainian settlements defended by real heroes who are already known around the world.
