France World Cup 2006 KitsWorld Cup 2006 – So near yet so far! A heart-breaker of a World Cup started with a legend coming out of retirement and leading his team towards the Finals, only for that same player to be sent-off and, along with him, the momentum of the team in the championship match. Zinedine Zidane’s headbutting Marco Materazzi’s chest proved to be one of the catalyst in France losing the title to Italy. Wearing their white away shirt with red curvy trims on the front side, tricolour stripes on the sleeves, and a highlight ribbed, blue-to-red ribbed stretched band graphic around the chest, Zidane walked past the trophy after getting sent-off, an iconic moment in 2006 that summed up the nation’s fate in the tournament.

The said stripes were red and white on the blue home shirt, and blue and red on the white away jersey. Securing the nation’s first-ever World Cup against defending champions Brazil no less, and doing it in front of the home crowd, immediately elevated the shirts to cult-status.

France World Cup 1986 KitsWorld Cup 1986 – Despite getting the status of favourites at the back of their Euro, Olympics, and Artemio Franchi titles in ’84,France had a dejavu in the World Cup 1986, getting beaten by West Germany in the semifinals (the same ending they had in the 1982 World Cup. Their kits at that time were pretty much minimalistic, with the other national colours forming a striping pattern along the seams of the sleeves for the blue home and white away shirts.

France World Cup 1982 KitsWorld Cup 1982 – France’s 1982 World Cup will always be remembered for the Magic Square of Tigana, Platini, Giresse, and Fernandez, and the nation’s semifinal against West Germany, one of the greatest World Cup matches of all time that featured drama, controversies, and, above all, goals. The notable design of the ’82 kits were the pinstripes of contrasting national colours that made them visible on the blue primary and white secondary strips.

France World Cup 1978 KitsWorld Cup 1978 – Platini’s era with the national team in the World Cup started with a first round exit. It was a bit of a disappointment considering the nation’s winning streak heading into the tournament and the fact that it was a return of some sort, with their last appearance being the World Cup ’66. Kits back then sported long sleeves, where France’s jerseys at that time, both the blue home and white away, showcased a tricolour striping running down the full length.
