I would have loved to do the history of Argentina vs France right now I save pics to Imgur. I also copy the image, but some sites will load here and others won't. This was the 2018 matchup. Not sure why we can't have this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I’ve seen has suggested that Argentina asked to wear the white shorts, leaving France with the choice between all-navy or navy/navy/red. They chose the former. A rare case where the teams are to blame instead of FIFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been plenty of times teams wore the same shorts and there were no issues, but FIFA seems to deny that now. I seem to remember that Inter Milan and AC Milan used to wear the same shorts, but different color socks and it wasn't an issue. Now one of the other is all white bottoms and all black bottoms.

In FIFA competitions, none of the kit elements (shirt, shorts, socks) can match the corresponding element of the other team. Keeper kits are included in that as well. I think it’d be totally fine if France wore the tricolor against Argentina’s all-white, but FIFA doesn’t allow that sort of thing to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andregunts Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 Croatia vs Morocco wearing their same kits as the group stage. I hate when this happens, when the same 2 team match up and they can’t do something different for the 2nd time around. I’m still not over USA vs Mexico in Gold Cup final and Nations League final.

upperV03 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 That gold winners badge just looks right nestled within the sky blue stripe: To be expected, they’ve placed the 3rd star above the previous two stars to form a triangle. Customary to place the new star above the other star(s), and also allows Adidas to more easily produce shirts with the third star (no word yet on when those will be released at retail). Eventually I would expect the three stars to be placed horizontally above the crest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their official pages already have all three in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their official pages already have all three in a row. Since I made that post, the 3-star jerseys have actually been put up for preorder on soccer.com and worldsoccershop.com. They have the three stars placed in a triangle, just like what the players were wearing after the trophy presentation. There are also a few other pieces of the Adidas winners collection that have the three stars placed in a triangle above the crest as well: The same was true for the USWNT in both 2015 and 2019. In 2015, the 3-star jerseys released after the WC triumph had the stars placed in a triangle. In 2019, the 4-star jerseys released after the WC had the fourth star placed above the other three (also rendered in gold): In both cases, the stars were placed horizontally above the crest when new kit sets were unveiled. I would expect Argentina to play with the triangle of stars until they get new kits altogether (likely in 2024). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that last case, it was because the URL wasn't secure — it started with http:// instead of https:// Though I'm not sure why you were posting Spanish kits from 2011 with no context. I'm assuming a comparison of champions badge/star placement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next Copa America is in 2024, so there will definitely be new kits in time for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
