First time they won was back in 1984, where Ballon d'or Winner, Michel Platini, was captain of the team. Second time was in 2000 when FIFA World Player of the Year, Zinedine Zidane led the team. Now the year is 2016 and France is yet again the host nation for this prestigious tournament. Les Bleus is under the leadership of Didier Deschamps, and will definitely try to regain the Euro Trophy. • Innovative AeroSwift technology • Vapor Edition - Same set as the players use • Worn by players such as aul Pogba, Raphaël Varane, Antoine Griezmann and Anthony Martial AeroSwift technology AeroSwift technology is made from a combination of single and double knitted yarn. The shirt is single knitted in the areas where you need breathability the most and double knitted the areas where you need a more stronger structure. The construction method is so detailed, that the ventilations holes are directly implemented in the shirt from the beginning. The yarn has a textured upper and is also rich, which makes Nike able to use less yarn without the risk of the being transparent. As a result the Vapor shirts with AeroSwift technology are 10% lighter, 50% more stretch and dries 25% quicker than the earlier shirts. The new yarn also have a brushed quality, which makes it very comfortable against the skin. Nike Dri-FIT The shirt is made with Nike's Dri-FIT material. The Dri-FIT material is a breathable, quick drying lightweight material, that wicks sweat and moisture away from the body, so you always are kept dry and comfortable. It works by distributing sweat and moisture equally around the material and thereby increasing the body's natural chilling system. The shirt has mesh stripes, which runs along the side of the shirt. The mesh stripes are elastic and will expand when the player is in motion, and thereby the air ventilation will increase.

A single star is printed above the FFF logo, which symbolizes World Cup gold which they won in 1998, where they as host country won the tournament with a team full of stars.

On the inside of the shirt, directly under the FFF logo, a hexagonal structure/pattern/symbol is framed with the text "Nos Differences Nous Unissent", which translated means "Our Differences Unite Us" Both the symbol and text represents the varied multicultural groups of people which the Modern France posses. The knitted areas on the chest is designed as a geometrical pattern which increases the fit and gives a more aesthetic and superhero look.
