French rugby sevens teams reveal new jersey

The French rugby sevens teams have unveiled a new jersey featuring electric blue, red details, and a golden rooster. The design includes a deep blue base with red accents on the sleeves and a white collar, and it is described as having a superhero-like appearance, with graphics inspired by the number 7.

Jersey features advanced technology

Adidas is providing a home model of the jersey equipped with Climacool technology, a henley collar, and recycled polyester. The choice of a superhero theme is said to fit well with the fast-paced nature of rugby sevens, where quick movements and decisive plays are common.

Golden rooster honors past victory

The golden rooster on the jersey is a historically significant detail, recalling the French men's team victory at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where they defeated Fiji 28 to 7 in the final. Antoine Dupont scored two tries in that match.

Women's team also has Olympic legacy

The reference to the golden rooster is specific to the men's team, but the French women's team also has Olympic heritage, having won silver at the Tokyo 2021 Games against New Zealand.

Jersey part of 2028 Games preparation

The new jersey is part of the teams' preparation for the Los Angeles 2028 Games, with the aim of competing at the highest level globally and earning a place at the Games. The golden rooster symbolizes the expectations placed on the team, and it remains to be seen if the next generation of French players will match the excitement of their predecessors.
