The American equipment manufacturer recently shared a series of snapshots featuring several personalities from the world of sports and beyond. Among these visuals, a photo of Simon Porte Jacquemus wearing a vintage-inspired jersey caught the attention of online communities. The French designer appears in a piece that blends sporting codes and luxury signatures.

Slightly fitted, this tunic is embellished with fine tricolor vertical stripes. It features the Fédération Française de Football rooster on the chest, as well as the two stars representing each World Cup victory. In addition, the French flag, the Provençal logo and the Nike Swoosh appear on both sides of the shirt.

“It could be the pre-match jersey worn by Les Bleus as part of the 2026 World Cup.”

According to several specialist sources, this piece could accompany the French team to the tournament, which kicks off on June 11. The competition will take place in the USA, Canada and Mexico. For the time being, neither the brands concerned nor the FFF have confirmed this information.

This eagerly-awaited World Cup promises to be a global showcase for the partners of major federations. Indeed, luxury brands are increasingly seeking to associate themselves with major sporting events. This strategy enables them to reach a diversified international audience.

A shared history between the designer and the French team

This isn’t the first time Simon Porte Jacquemus has gravitated towards the French team. Back in 2018, working alongside Nike, the designer took part in a campaign to present Les Bleus jerseys. This campaign was photographed by Jean-Paul Goude, an emblematic figure of the French image.

Since that first collaboration, the alliance between the two brands has gone from strength to strength. It combines capsule collections, revisits of iconic sneakers and high-profile activations. Among the models revisited are theAir Humara,Air Max and Moon Shoe.

Known for their sportswear-inspired ready-to-wear drops, the two partners now look set to expand their alliance. The move from the lifestyle dressing room to the competition arena would mark a new stage in their relationship.

Sport as a global showcase for luxury brands

This potential announcement is part of a wider trend. High-end fashion houses are increasingly investing in the athleisure market. Dior, for example, recently launched a sport and wellness line, while Burberry is investing ambitiously in this segment.

Sport offers brands unrivalled visibility at major international events. As a result, partnerships between equipment manufacturers and fashion designers are multiplying. This convergence of luxury and sporting performance meets growing consumer demand.

Jacquemus continues to expand its creative territory

The house founded by Simon Porte Jacquemus is multiplying its initiatives in 2026. It recently opened up to online customization, enabling customers to create unique pieces. In addition, the brand has renewed its patronage of Versailles, confirming its roots in French heritage.

Last January, the designer unveiled the name of his very first ambassadress. He also announced the presentation of his next collection at the Musée Picasso. These choices illustrate a constant desire to combine fashion, art and culture.

If the jersey in the colors of Les Bleus is confirmed, it would represent further proof of this ambition. The Provençal fashion house would continue to extend its influence far beyond the traditional catwalks. The 2026 World Cup could be a key moment to observe this evolution.
