France Team Jerseys, the Rooster XV

From the first match of 1906 with the rooster on the chest

The French XV plays its first official match on 1st January 1906 at Parc des Princes against New Zealand, and then faces England in March of the same year. The rooster appears on the chest at the initiative of captain Marcel Communeau in the early 1910s, becoming the emblem of the team, to the point that the players are called the Bleus or the XV of the rooster. The Bleus achieve their first Grand Slam in 1968 and reach the World Cup final in 1987, 1999, and 2011, occasions that each left behind a legendary jersey.

adidas and the Bleus: home, away and major venues

Since 2024, adidas has once again outfitted the French XV, having done so several times in the past. The home jersey is blue, the colour that gives the players their nickname, and the away jersey, most often white, is used when the opponent is wearing a similar colour. Both are available in the same cuts, allowing for a choice based on usage rather than colour. Major matches are held at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, and the team also travels to Marseille, Lille or Bordeaux for autumn tests or preparation.

Supporter, authentic, performance: three versions of the Bleus' jersey

The supporter version is recognised by its straight cut and thicker fabric: it’s the jersey for the stadium, match nights, and gifts. The authentic version is for the players, fitted to the body in a lightweight and stretchy mesh that resists tackles; it’s recommended to take a size up for everyday wear. The performance version incorporates match jersey features using material designed for effort, ideal for training at the club. The kids' home jersey closely follows the adults’ design in sizes according to age.
