Kits and crests [edit ]
Following the pause up of the Soviet Union, the Russian Football Union opted for a new identity, replacing the red and white Adidas kits with strips supplied by Reebok. Reebok presented the team in crimson, aristocratic and white kits reflecting the readopted national iris of Russia. In 1997, Nike decided on a simple design using good amobarbital sodium and white. The design, used at the 2002 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2004, consisted of chiefly a white base with blue shave and the opposite combination for the away kit. After failing to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Nike moved in another guidance by reintroducing red, this time as the home kit, while white being reversed as the away color.
