Shirts and kits of the France team

The cockerel and the two stars on the jersey of the Blues

Created on 7 April 1919, the French Football Federation has kept the cockerel chosen by the committee that preceded it, and it has adorned the jersey of the France team ever since. Above it shine two stars: the first for the 1998 World Cup, won 3-0 against Brazil at the Stade de France, the second for the one in 2018, triumphed 4-2 against Croatia in Moscow.

The Blues also have two European championships, in 1984 and 2000. The home jersey is blue, the away jersey is most often white, and red completes a tricolour reinterpreted for each new edition.

The other national teams

The Blues have faced all the major nations, and each has its own page. The Nations page brings together all the teams, Brazil highlights the jerseys of their opponents from the 1998 final, and Argentina showcases those of the Albiceleste, against whom France played in the 2022 final. Spain, Germany, and England gather the kits of their European neighbours.

Jacquemus and the Blues' pre-match jersey

For the 2026 World Cup, the FFF has teamed up with designer Simon Porte Jacquemus for the Blues' pre-match jersey, unveiled on 1 June 2026. Dark blue with fine vertical lines, it includes the cockerel, the tricolour flag, the two stars, and the designer's signature, alongside jackets, trousers, and matching shorts.

The collection is linked to the association Sport dans la Ville, which supports young people from priority neighbourhoods through sport. It fits into the tradition of pre-match jerseys, which are more free in their design than the official jersey and designed for both the city and warm-up.

Home, authentic and children's sizes: the official range of the Blues

The home jersey in blue and the away jersey are available in supporter version, with a straight cut and an embroidered badge, and in authentic version, the players' version, fitted, lighter and featuring a heat-pressed badge. Supplier to the Blues since 2011, Nike also provides the tracksuit jacket KMC for pre-match and the Primary t-shirt, which displays the badge for everyday wear.

For younger fans, the mini home kit includes a jersey and shorts in small sizes, the children's pre-match jersey features the breathable Dri-FIT fabric of the players, and gloves and a beanie in the Blues' colours keep warm in the winter stands. All jerseys, for adults and children, can have a name and number printed on them.

Giving a Blues jersey at the right time

A piece from the France team is a great gift all year round, but some occasions suit it better. Black Friday and the holiday season kick off the gift season, then the winter sales see Blues items hit the sales. In spring come the French Days, followed by summer sales and the return of training, when past season models join the Clearance. Your order is prepared and dispatched within 24 hours.

Retro Copa jerseys, 1998 socks and Blues merchandise

The brand Copa Football reissues the kits that have marked the history of the Blues: a jersey inspired by 1971, a long-sleeved home jersey in the style of the 1950s, during the time of Just Fontaine and Raymond Kopa, and a zip-up jacket with a 1960s style. The socks inspired by 1998 and 2000 recall the two great titles from the turn of the century, just like the champion T-shirt from 2000.

For younger fans, the collection also includes children's t-shirts with the FFF badge, all-over patterned flip-flops, and supporter slippers, along with a logo keychain as a small gift. The Legends t-shirts, whether classic or embroidered, and the hoodie complete the adult range.

Frequently asked questions

What jersey does France wear against a blue team?

Against an opponent in blue, the Blues wear their away jersey, which is most often white. Each team's colours are approved beforehand by the organisers to avoid any confusion on the pitch.

Why is the France team called the Blues?

The nickname comes from the colour of the home jersey, worn by the team since its early years. It refers to the men's team, and its feminine form, the Bleues, refers to the France women's team.

How to choose between the supporter jersey and the authentic jersey?

For the stands or everyday wear, the supporter version, looser and more durable, is the most comfortable. To play, the authentic version, lighter and fitted, wicks moisture better; take one size up if you don’t like a tight fit.

Which French player holds the record for the most goals in a single World Cup?

Just Fontaine, with thirteen goals during the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, where France finished third. No one has done better in a single edition since, across all teams.

How to wash a France team jersey?

Turn it inside out before washing it in the machine at 30 degrees, without fabric softener or bleach. Dry it on a hanger, away from a radiator: heat damages the printing and the heat-pressed badge of the authentic version.
