The inspiration for the design of the Egyptian national team's uniforms comes from the pyramids of Giza, which are closely identified with Egypt and have significant symbolism for the country and its culture. The pyramids were given a formal abstraction to match the home uniform.
A pattern composed of reeds and spikes, which are common in the vicinity of the Nile River and are also mentioned in folk tales in various cultures, is added to the pyramids. The spikes were subjected to a process of abstraction and arranged in a wavy shape that recalls the waves of the Nile River as well as the shapes of the waves on the dunes, as mentioned in the design of the national team's emblem. These motifs were chosen to appear on the national team's home uniforms and represent it.
The colorfulness of the emblem and uniforms was also added with the color yellow gold, which recalls the desert but also the monarchy in ancient Egypt and its rich culture and history.
