I can think of Northern Ireland (Green), Germany (white) and the Netherlands (orange), but that's only within Europe.

Are there many more?

Italy
Cyprus

Scotland!

Is our kit not modeled on an old Queens Park shirt? The Saltire is "azzure" blue.

New Zealand (White shirts, black shorts).

And the Aussies with their gold and green.

I believe India wear Blue & White in the football tops

Pre-1918 and between 1933-1945 (Swastica) there was white in the German Flag.

There was a touch of white in the Swastika flag as well.

I thought the white and blag in the german kit was based on the prussian flag as it was the biggest component of the original german empire.

They also have the colours of the flag across the chest

I thought I could use this thread for a slightly different question but what about national teams that have changed colours?

I noticed Austria played in red and white at the Euros but used to play in white and black similar to Germany. When did the chance occur exactly and are there other examples of a country, in modern times, changing their colours?

Japan's first choice colours are all blue.

In the Nazi era the German flag was red with a black swastika on white circle, I think, but.... at that time the national team, I believe, played in red shirts with black shorts.

Japan..play in blue white and a hint of yellow now
South africa maybe?

yeah they're white but there are also black, red and gold on them, the colours of the german flag

Venezuela play in Maroon, I think Kuwait play in blue.

But his point was in referance to the predominant colours of the top. Germany's first choice kit is traditionally a white top, black shorts and white socks. Over the last couple of decades, Adidas have added in touches of the flag's colours to vary the design. In my view, that doesn't count as they have never constituted the predominant colour of the top.

Venezuela play in maroon.

Japan and Australia are two I can think of.

It has always slightly irked me that England play in blue shorts. I presume that the blue comes from the Scottish part of the union jack. Unless there is another reason that I have missed.

The three lions are blue. May be a reason?

The three lions on England football team's shirt are blue, but the three lions on the coat of arms of England are yellow.

Slovenia
Thailand
Iraq
Honduras*
East Germany



* though their away kit IS like their flag

It's a bit of a complicated question really. If you apply the rules in the loosest sense, ie. the predominant colour of the national team's shirts/kit does not feature on the national flag then you get this list;
Africa
Djibouti, Eritrea.
Asia
Australia, India, Iraq, Japan, Kuwait, Malaysia.
Concacaf
Brittish Virgin Islands, Montserrat.
Europe
Cyprus, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Slovenia
Oceania
Cook Islands, Fiji, New Zealand
South America
Venzuela.
You could argue that the white shorts of Cyprus, Italy, Netherlands and India, not to mention the white shirts of Slovenia and New Zealand, are colours that do appear in the national flag.
Maybe a better question - which has been hinted at already - could be which national sides feature colours in their kit which do not feature on the national flag. For that you could add Bangladesh, England, Ghana, Spain and even Scotland when they were playing in red socks.

Japan used to play in red tops and white shorts, like their flag, I believe. But considering that both South Korea and China also wear red they wanted to distinguish themselves more and changed to blue.

My first thought was us too.
