Nike France & Brazil FIFA Centenary Kits | Closer Look
Apr 11, 2019, by Chris
Brazil and Nike this week released a white kit for Brazil's 2019 Copa America opener, inspired by the 1919 Copa America-winning shirt. We take a look at the last time when Brazil wore a white uniform.
As you might know, white has been not used by Brazil in an official match since they lost the 1950 World Cup final against Uruguay - however, in 2004, Brazil already entered the pitch wearing a white kit. In 2004, France and Brazil were selected as the two nations to spar in FIFA’s centenary match as World Cup holders and European champions (FIFA was founded in 1904). For that occasion, both Brazil and France used original kits inspired by the country's first-ever jerseys.
Brazil and France 2004 FIFA Centenary Kits
Brazil's shirt was white with a lace-up collar- a nod to Brazil’s jersey worn in their first game in 1914. It was combined withwhite shorts and blue socks.
The France kit paid homage to France’s first kit, worn in a 3-3 draw with Belgium on 1 May 1904. Les Bleus’ ensemble consisted of blue collared shirts, long cream shorts, red socks and a belt.
Brazil and France came out in their modern kits for the second half.
Brazil's side featured Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Kaka, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, while France's team included Lilian Thuram, Zinedine Zidane, Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry. The match ended 0-0, howver.

No More Nike: Adidas Croatia 2026 Training Kits Revealed
Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.
