France Euro 2016 Away Kit
This is the bold new Nike France Euro 2016 away shirt.
Based on the template of and employing a similar style as the new USA 2016 Copa America away kit, the new France away jersey is predominantly white with the sleeves resembling the colors of the French flag. Instead of the contemporary FFF logo, the iconic rooster is once again used for the France 2016 away kit, with a sole star above it representing the 1998 World Cup win.
Following the futuristic design reference set by the PSG Dark Light kit, the new France Euro 2016 away jersey features a distinct mesh panel on the front, although only in the authentic variant. A new take is added to the design with an elaborate pinstripe panel on the sleeves and around the v-collar of the France 2016 away shirt.

As expected, the new France away kit combines shorts of the same color as the France shirt with differently colored socks. The France Euro 2016 away kit socks are navy with light blue and white detailing.

Nottingham Forest Women Wear Training Tops vs Southampton to Avoid Color Blindness Clash
In an unusual kit occurrence, Nottingham Forest Women took to the pitch wearing training tops instead of their official 26-27 away kit during their match against Southampton Women at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday. The late switch was implemented specifically to avoid color blindness visibility issues that would have arisen from a red-versus-green clash. Huge thanks to @david_g_cooper for the spot.
With Southampton wearing their traditional red-and-white home kit, Nottingham Forest's primary alternative option - their green 26-27 away shirt - posed a serious dilemma. Red and green kit pairings are strictly discouraged by governing bodies and accessibility guidelines because they become indistinguishable to individuals with red-green color vision deficiency, which affects roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women.
Since Nottingham Forest's home shirt is also red, the club resorted to dark training gear with match numbers applied on the back to provide adequate contrast for players, referees, and spectators.
Forest could have worn their light blue kit, but apparently they did not bring it.
