This is the new France home rugby shirt 2014/15, France’s new home kit as they embark upon the autumn internationals and the 2015 Six Nations. Made by Adidas, the new Les Bleus jersey was officially unveiled by the FFR on 6th November, 2014. France’s new 14/15 rugby strip will be first worn this weekend against Fiji.
The jersey has evoked mixed reactions from French rugby supporters, with some fans accusing Adidas of not showing enough importance to all the colours of the French flag
Some closeup shots of this new French rugby shirt can also be seen in the video below, which features Wesley Fofana and Damien Chouly.
France have had some torrid times under Philippe Saint-Andre and Les Bleus will be hoping to turn things around heading into the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

More red and white required. Doesn’t immediately strike you as FRANCE’s uniform.
Well, the side’s no longer French anyway; they have three Saffas playing for them against Fiji!
This looks very much like the traditional colour combination of Namibia.
Great kit,but please can you explain why France wore Red shirts today againt Scotland,also why was there a Scottish saltaire on the front?
Red is France’s new alternate shirt- https://www.newrugbykits.com/2015/02/red-france-rugby-shirt-2015-new-france-away-rugby-jersey-2015-six-nations/
There would’ve been a colour clash for the French and Scottish primary strips (both blue). Therefore the home side changes to avoid the clash, so France wore red.
The Scottish saltaire was just to mark the opponent against which the team was playing. Won’t be present on every shirt. If you go back to France v England at last year’s 6N, you’d see the St.George’s cross on the French shirt too.
