Victormrey Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Here is a pic of the match. Really weird they're not using the "original" Nike design. But I actually think this one looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Here's another look: EDIT: And here's the Footy Headlines article on it: http://www.footyheadlines.com/2016/06/france-debuts-new-away-kit-switzerland.html?m=1 Looks like it's just a one-off, like Spain's white kit in the 2014 World Cup was. It's a shame because I too think this one looks much better than the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven919 Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 Albania vs. Romania. I can't really call these uniforms beautiful, but at least it's more interesting than another all white vs. all blue matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven919 Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 Really makes me annoyed to see that Nike has made an amazing looking kit for England and then given that kit to France. That doesn't make me happy about the good design. It just makes me angry about Nike's arrogant change for the sake of change approach to kit design.

Who knows maybe Nike will make this the "third" option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Pretty silly rule when in the case of France, the darkness (or whichever technical color term) of each sleeve was about the same. It wasn't as if one sleeve was brigh blue and the other black. EDIT- more pics of the France kit. Are the shorts and trim color navy or black? We already know France's home kit has black on it but I don't see much difference between the black training kit and the shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven919 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 England vs. Slovakia. Dark red arms and blue socks, that doesn't work either. England is looking truly terrible in this tournament. Slovakia in their same old all white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven919 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Russia vs. Wales. Simple, but good designs. No one-color kits. Good looking game. I also tend to like when both teams have the same kit supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven919 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Ukraine vs. Poland. A bit unusual to see white vs. yellow. Would have preferred Poland in red/white/red. Still a decent looking game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven919 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Germany vs. Northern Ireland. Two good looking adidas uniforms with no one-color kits. I'm pretty happy with this. Side note: What Northern Ireland is wearing would have been a good looking secondary kit for Germany. Blue is not color Germany has worn as far as I know, but it works really well with the green and Germany has been wearing green as their secondary in many tournaments.

Berlin Wall Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I would've also liked this as a Germany away kit. And no, Germany never wore blue as a uniform, but blue is our traditional training gear colour. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010.

Really would have wished they stuck with this or something similar as the secondary kit. Great looking kit and of course strongly associated with that triumphant game.

steven919 Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Croatia vs. Spain. Another all blue vs. all white. I've complained about that before, but in this case both uniforms are so good looking I don't mind it at all. Red and yellow on white is a great look and it's a very nice clash against Croatia's blue. Top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven919 Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Czechia vs. Turkey. Really like Czechia up close with the two different kinds of red. Love Turkey's kit as well, but really wish they would have brought a pair of teal or white socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do like Croatia's blue, especially with the checkered element that carries through from their home red/white, I hate that kit for Spain, it looks like someone vomited salsa on the front of a perfectly serviceable white kit. Reminds me of some of the awful Warrior Liverpool thirds. Also, I'm not a fan of monochrome kits for teams that have established non-monochrome home/away colors.

It looks like the dude was eating a hotdog with mustard and ketchup and then dropped it on his shirt leaving stains behind. The Catch of the Day!
