There can be no doubt that lederhosen are the traditional clothing for men in the Alpine regions of Austria – and have been worn in their present form since the 17th century. What is more obvious than playing football (after all, still mainly a man’s game) in lederhosen? Whether made of chamois or stag leather is irrelevant, what matters is that the quality is in event something special, just like the football that will be on display in the UEFA EURO 2008™ games. The lederhosen are of course accompanied by the traditional broad-brimmed hat with a tuft of chamois hair – a genuine Tyrolean hat. And it is Tyrol, to be precise the new Tivoli stadium in Innsbruck, that will be hosting three of the preliminary round games with the teams from Russia, Spain and Sweden.
The original idea for this stamp was created by 12-year-old Vanessa Schennach from Burgstall in the district of Mutters. She attends the third class of the Pastorstrasse secondary school in Innsbruck. Her participation in the 2007 school children’s drawing competition was certainly worth the effort!
