France to Leave Nike? Adidas and Under Armour Reportedly Interested
The French football federation today officially announced that it has started looking into choosing which brand will be awarded the French national team contract for the period from 2018 to 2026.
France to Leave Nike?
France announced that it would first speak with the most important brands, with this obviously including the likes of current France jersey supplier, Nike, and the previous one, Adidas. Additionally, the federation says that interested brands can apply for the process until November 10, 2016.
Meanwhile, French media reported on brands that are supposedly interested in taking over from Nike, with reputable radio station Radio Monte Carlo claiming that Adidas and Under Armour would try to win over one of the most important contracts in the football world. RTL, another radio station, adds New Balance to this mix.
"We are pleased with Nike, and Nike is with us," said FFF (French Football Federation) president Noël Le Graët told L'Equipe recently.
The current contract between France and Nike, which was the most valuable for a national team when it started 2011, is valid until after the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Harrogate Town 26-27 Home Kit Released
Harrogate Town has officially revealed its new home kit for the 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor New Balance, the latest primary strip offers a bold and modern twist on the club's traditional yellow and black colors. Following the recent reveal of their striking geometric away jersey, this home release confirms that New Balance is committed to delivering highly bespoke and eye-catching designs for the North Yorkshire side's upcoming campaign.
The New Balance Harrogate Town 26-27 home shirt features a vibrant yellow base, anchored by thick black vertical stripes across the front of the torso. However, instead of traditional solid bands, these stripes are executed with a modern, pixelated halftone gradient effect that fades heavily around the midsection to seamlessly accommodate the black "envirovent" sponsor logo. To ensure a cohesive and sharp aesthetic, the New Balance manufacturer logo and the official club crest are both applied in a sleek black and yellow monochrome finish.
The launch completes the team's set for 2026-2027.
