'Our Differences Unite Us' claims Nike's new France kit

After France's colossally catastrophic World Cup debacle in South Africa over a summer, they sacked manager Raymond Domenech, criminialized multiform players as well as now, they've even dumped long-time kitmaker adidas.

The brand brand brand new Nike pack (which is very suggestive of England's white World Cup kit) was unveiled in Paris upon Monday as well as features a word "Nos Differences Nous Unissent" (our differences unite us) stitched behind a FFF pinned token upon a shirt. This isn't entirely a sign for a players before they resume their cliquey infighting, though. "Nike as well as a FFF are mutually committed to ancillary a work of a Fondation du Football in using football as a vehicle to promote a positive aspects of diversity in society," a press recover states.

France manager Laurent Blanc seems to similar to it:

"This jersey represents a suggestion of French elegance, something recognized all over a world. The loyal collar, a brand brand brand new blue, a addition of a red unequivocally raise a brand brand brand new kit. It goes well with a philosophy I wish to create: creativity, humbleness as well as ambition."

Yes, nothing says humbleness similar to creation a indicate to mention that world-renowned French elegance. Aside from that, Blanc's comments do bring a engaging subject to mind. Namely, what would a pack that goes with Raymond Domenech's philosophy look like? My theory is a ripped loincloth lonesome in astrological signs.

Anyway, a brand brand brand new pack comes along with a brand brand brand new TV spot. Video as well as reason right this way...

The dramatic voiceover to a TV mark is a poem from a famous*Duel* stage in a play Cyrano de Bergerac, narrated by French hip-hop artist Oxmo Puccino. The mark draws a parallel between a duel scene, in that C! yrano co nfronts a king who dared bluster him, as well as French footballers during opposite levels competing opposite their opponents.

Through a verse, a audacity, creativity as well as leisure of French football is expressed. Those talents are expressing themselves in various places, Clairefontaine for a French team, but also a playgrounds of Belleville, Marseille as well as La Courneuve for a amateur players.

So there we have it. New kit, brand brand brand new look, no Domenech.
