shaydre1019 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Damn France looks good!! I want to wear that whole kit around the town. I don't blame you man, they look amazing. I feel like I'm in the minority, but I've loved every single France kit Nike has put out. They look so so classy. I have high hopes for the US now, I really hope we went with the centennial crest.

Going to be pretty hard to make that look good for the US, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be pretty hard to make that look good for the US, IMO.Yeah me too, but I think I'm imagining like super super bright blue. Maybe it's darker than royal but lighter than navy?The kit manage said yet were awesome and seemed really excited as opposed to like a "yeah they're pretty cool" positive but meh post.I just really hope we don't use the current crest.

shaydre1019 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Nike Soccer officially posted the new France kits on their Facebook page, so it's possible the floodgates will open. Unless they just did that to cover up the leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they just did that to cover up the leak.Eh, if they were just doing it to cover the leak, I think they would have done a couple other teams by now (Holland, Portugal).I think they may be trying to capitalize on the best support for the French national team in at least 4 years.

Jaffa Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I think they may be trying to capitalize on the best support for the French national team in at least 4 years.That would be my guess, too - Nike would have all the publicity materials sorted, makes sense for them to unveil the shirt for pre-order whilst there's a wave of positivity about the team.

Because royal blue qualifies as a "light" color, so they can wear it with their white jerseys. I guess they wouldn't be allowed to wear white jerseys with navy shorts.

As we've already debunked it's not a new regulation. Also as we've seen France are not in monochrome. And not every adidas country is in monochrome (thanks Mexico). 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaydre1019 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 http://chariotsoffire11.blogspot.com/2012/05/us-soccer-jersey-history.htmlIt's not unheard of for the US to wear white with royal blue. Also, maybe we see a kit similar to the '75 red away?I feel a leak just around the corner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 As far as the debate regarding the monochrome kits and the few kits with the traditional shorts (France, Mexico, etc), my take is that these squads are introducing them with the contrasting shorts and that will be their preferred kit combo. However, when used in strict FIFA tournaments, I bet they will use an alternate pair of shorts. Compared to Germany and Spain, those kits were introduced as monochrome. For that reason, I am not expecting those teams to release their more traditional contrasting shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarindude Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I am just really excited for the United States kits to come out. I have very high expectations for all 3 kits we should be seeing. The move to Royal Blue is fine with me (if not, preferred). I am just praying that we see something anywhere near as great as the "Wheres Waldo Red Hoops" kits that we saw recently. With this being the last World Cup with the current logo, I want it to go out with a bang.Please, just don't be as bad as the Pageant stripe we saw last World Cup.

Whenever we have a third kit it seems to debut a year or so after the primary kits or is released as a one-off like the DTOM kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
