This brief video (no English subtitles) gives France supporters a unique look into the making of the new 2011 France soccer jersey. One of the distinctive features of the manufacturing process is the use of fabric spun from 100% recycled cotton bottles.

After a World Cup campaign that can only be described as disastrous, the French national team decided to cut ties with the past by unveiling a new jersey. The 2011 France soccer jersey has an updated all-blue look with an inner red trimming on the sleeves, and will be manufactured by Nike instead of Adidas. Except to see team France wear the jersey at their next Euro 2012 qualifier. The jersey goes on sale today.
