The 2026 World Cup qualifiers started very well for the French team. In early September, the Blues signed two victories against Ukraine (2-0) and Iceland (2-1), which already places them on the right track. However, two results to be confirmed for the players of Didier Deschamps, who have an appointment with Azerbaijan and again Iceland, on October 10 and 13.
Even before validating their ticket for the next North American World Cup, Kylian Mbappé's teammates are fixed on one point: they know what their jersey should look like. The new tricolor of the tricolors has indeed leaked on social networks, the account Opaleak Having unveiled the first shots on X (formerly Twitter). And she may make a lot of talk.
While the current home hold is entirely blue, with a fairly imposing rooster and a collar in the colors of the French flag, the next version should reveal a surprising pattern. Fine navy blue diagonal strips are expected on the jersey, the rooster becoming more metallic and rosy. A design inspired by the Statue of Liberty, which unites France and the United States.
The new Blues jersey already criticized
The white collar gives the whole a polo look. “It doesn't look like a jersey of the French team”also confirms the artistic director Clément Thiery, specialist in sports outfits. An opinion overall shared by fans. “Avant”, “ugly”, “hideous”, “disgusting”, “what is this horror? »»can we read in many comments.
If this version is confirmed by Nike, the Blues should logically wear it for the first time in March, as they do for each launch. The outdoor jersey should not be revealed either. According to the site Footy Headlinesit should be in color … mint green. A tribute, too, at the famous monument located in New York, south of Manhattan.
