France Unveils New Football Shirt: First Impressions

After France's embarrassing exit from last summer's World Cup, their Football Federation has replaced the manager, much of the roster and now their kits. After many years of Adidas' wildly-striped designs, new supplier Nike has introduced a severely sparse shirt. The just-bleu shirt follows a trend toward yesteryear led by Umbro, itself a Nike subsidiary.
