France 1969-71 Third kits

The first red jersey of the team of France in 1906. At the time France were playing in white and had been England who also played by White. France had played so red and had been thrashed by England. Other fact, the away shirt was red until the beginning of the 1960s and then it became white. It was due to the TV in black and white at this time, so the different team needed to have contrasted colors. On a black and white TV, a blue shirt is grey, and a red shirt is grey. So to help the telespectectors, the scond shirt must be really different from the home shirt.
