In the end, the green shirt may not have had its final say just yet. While the “Statue of Liberty” kit seemed to have already been put away after just one appearance at this World Cup, the France team will finally bring it back out for their quarter-final against Morocco.
For this highly anticipated clash in Boston, Les Bleus will therefore play in their green away kit. It is a small logistical surprise, since France are nevertheless considered the home team for this match. Morocco, meanwhile, will wear their usual colors, red and green.
France Bring Back Their Green Away Kit Against Morocco
This green kit had only been worn once so far, during the match against Norway. That game remains memorable thanks to Ousmane Dembélé’s hat-trick. The green shirt therefore seemed destined to remain almost a collector’s item: one appearance, one standout match, and a strong image linked to Dembélé’s big night. But Les Bleus will now give it a second life in an even more important fixture.

Could this kit also become the one associated with qualification for the semi-finals? After accompanying one of the great individual moments of the tournament for France, it could now be linked to a collective turning point in Didier Deschamps’ side’s campaign.
Since its first appearance, the shirt has divided supporters. Some appreciated its originality and its very American nod, while others regretted a visual identity far removed from the traditional colors of Les Bleus. But it seems to be gaining more and more ground, as it has been sold out and difficult to find since the start of the competition.
Against Morocco, France will therefore try to reach the final four with this green shirt on their shoulders, an unexpected choice that could take on a whole new meaning if Les Bleus book their place in the semi-finals.
