What if the Blues started playing green? This is indeed what predicts Footy Headlines. This site, which publishes rumors concerning future jerseys of clubs and selections, reveals that the next outdoor jersey of the France team could be a mint green color.
“We do not yet know if the mint green will be the main color of the Nike jersey of the French team in 2026. It is possible that white remains the basic color and mint green, black and gold are used as accentuation colors. Anyway, the mint green will be very present in the jersey design ”, Can we read on the site.
As a reminder, part of the next World Cup will take place in the United States. It is precisely for this reason that the mint green would have been envisaged by the equipment supplier Nike and the French football federation. It would be a nod to the statue of freedom offered by France for the centenary of American independence in 1876.
The Blues in green, not a first?
If this information is confirmed, this would not be a first for the French team. The Blues had already, in the past, wooded a green jersey. It was on the occasion of the 1978 World Cup which had taken place in Argentina.
While France faced Hungary in the group stage of the competition, the two teams had presented themselves with almost identical jerseys. The Blues were then obliged to wear the Kimberley de Mar del Plaza jersey, a local club. France had won the 3-1 meeting. A green jersey which therefore recalls good memories to the Blues.
