France Euro 2012 away

France will be wearing a new away shirt in their Euro 2012 campaign in Poland and Ukraine. The new Les Bleus away shirt has a polo-shirt style with a button-up, flapped collar. Classic white body with seven thin, obsidian blue stripes on the cuff of each sleeve to represent the iconic French design of the
Marinière. The shirt’s constructed collar also echoes French style with a long placket and a bonded tape around the edge of the collars.

Nike’s commitment to superior athletic performance and lower environmental impact, the fabric of the new kit’s shorts is made with 100% recycled polyester, while the fabric of the shirts is made with at least 96% recycled polyester.  Each kit is made using an average of 13 recycled plastic bottles.The fabric is also up to 23% lighter than the version four years ago. Embedded with Nike Dri-FIT technology, the kits help to regulate players temperatures on the pitch by removing sweat from the body to keep them dry and cool faster than ever before.  The Nike Swoosh and player number appear on the top right of the body in blue.

Inside the collar text “Nos differences nous unissent” (“Our differences unite us”),
which celebrates France’s diverse population.The away shorts are white with a
tonal print of the Marinière in a panel on each side. The away socks, now with
improved cushioning for greater comfort, movement and protection, are also white.
