Fun fact about the 1998 France soccer jersey:

It was inspired by Napoleon’s uniform!

The iconic blue jersey worn by Les Bleus when they won the World Cup was designed with red and white horizontal stripes across the chest — a nod to the military-style uniforms of the French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. This subtle historical reference added a sense of national pride and power to the kit, and it became legendary after France’s 3–0 victory over Brazil in the final at the Stade de France.

Bonus: Zinédine Zidane scored two goals with his head in that final — all while wearing that iconic kit. 🏆
