The American equipment manufacturer Nike and the FFF unveiled this Thursday the 2018/19 collection the home and outdoor outfits worn by the men's France team at the 2018 World Cup and the women's team. To unveil these new tunics, the comma brand has chosen as models three players of the French men's team (Kylian Mbappé, Samuel Umtiti and Ousmane Dembélé) and one of the women's team (Montpellier Sabina Karchaoui).

Sobriety and colors of the flag

For these new outfits, Nike has decided to do in sobriety. The home shirt has a dark blue color, with lighter blue sleeves. This jersey comes with white shorts and red socks, thus taking the colors of the flag. We find these same colors of the flag at the back of the collar, in the form of ribbon, while a badge stitched inside the jersey in a hexagon bears the inscription: "Our differences unite us"

For the outer jersey, a simple classic pure white, but with a subtle mottled red and blue pattern that runs through the frame. This outer jersey comes with dark blue shorts and white socks.

Finally, the shirt in "sailor" mode that wears Sakina Karchaoui represents the pre-match jersey.

Last little detail, that of the jackets! They were designed in red, white and blue by the Canadian equipment manufacturer Anthem. In this way, when the eleven players of the France team will line up to sing La Marseillaise, they will form the three colors of the national flag. The men's French team will have the honor of wearing for the first time the home and away jersey respectively against Colombia at the Stade de France on March 23 and against Russia in Moscow on March 27.
