Nike designs World Cup jerseys with advanced cooling and national symbols

Nike has designed new World Cup jerseys for teams like France and Brazil, focusing on player comfort and national pride.

The designs also feature national symbols, such as France's green away kit inspired by the Statue of Liberty and its home kit with a rooster emblem and stars representing past victories. AI
