“We are a bit of a pioneer, with our own courage we are the first in this state to be a role model for others. Perhaps all other European countries use a one-word geographical name on their jerseys, and because the idea of sport is apoliticalism, without the political designation of the state department, “adds Jansta, citing the incumbent Spanish world champions Spanish in their yellow-red jerseys.
The change is also supported by the representatives. “The Czechia comes to me as a concise inscription, similarly, other countries, which are also a republic, have a well-expressed name on the jersey in their speech. “France, Greece, Serbia now just occur to me at random,” says Kateřina Elhotová, captain of the women’s team. her male counterpart Vojtěch Hruban.
Question marks at the premiere
The management of Czech basketball only hopes that the epidemiological situation in the country will allow a sharp premiere of the new jerseys in November. The men will face a home match of the European Championship qualification with Belgium, which at the moment considers the Czechia a risky country regarding the spread of coronavirus. “I try to believe that it will somehow happen, but there are too many factors against it,” Hruban thinks. “Perhaps better than a match without people in complete silence, so postpone it to February, for example. What’s worse is that no one can guarantee that it will be better then,” he muses.

The women have to fight for participation in the European Championship on their own board twice, against the Danes and the Italians. The jerseys have a triple color design. For men, the home is a blue variant, for women red and for outdoor matches, both categories have a common white. “I like red especially for women, I take it as such as a girl and I probably like to play in jerseys of this color. I can’t imagine not playing the national team at all in November, but I’m afraid there may not be any fans at all. Perhaps it would be at least a TV broadcast for them to see the jerseys in action, “Elhotová muses.
Giant billboard
The campaign to introduce a new identity for the national team will also be supported by a giant 50-meter billboard, which cannot be overlooked from Prague’s Nuselský Bridge. In addition to the two national team captains, Tomáš Satoranský is also photographed in a jersey with the inscription Česko, but he was missing from Friday’s presentation on the Royal Bridgehead, because he is already on his way to Chicago.
Hruban measures two meters, but is five times larger on the poster. “It’s very strange to see yourself in this life-size. The detail is as pronounced as if I were looking closely at myself in the mirror. In addition, my father-in-law lives a short distance away, so I’m waiting for him to react to the form of such a big son-in-law, “smiles the winger from Nymburk.

The player from the Prague USK also takes over with a view on the billboard. “I measure ten meters there, but I would say that I have a good expression in the photo, so somehow I tolerate myself. Fortunately, I don’t drive so much on the highway that I have to keep an eye on it, but it’s funny when my friends send me a photo with me like a girl from a poster, “Elhot laughs.
