As they prepare for a fifth straight season mixing it up in Ligue 1, FC Nantes – the Norwich City of France (visually, at least) – and long-time kit partner Macron have pulled back the curtain on the club’s 2025/26 home shirt — a piece that plays the hits with style while pushing forward with sustainable innovation.
Macron — the Bologna-based sportswear maestros — continue to show why they’re considered one of the sharpest operators in the game. For this latest drop, they lean into Nantes' unmistakable DNA, delivering a home jersey for the 25/26 season that feels both heritage and fresh. As ever, it’s crafted from high-performance, eco-conscious fabrics, with sustainability sitting right alongside sharp aesthetics in the design process.
The shirt drops in a vibrant yellow base — no surprises there — but it’s the refined green pinstriping that gives it that edge. Running vertically across both front and back, the stripes vary in width and texture thanks to a sublimated graphic treatment that adds depth without shouting. It’s a detail that gives the shirt a dynamic feel, even in stillness — a subtle nod to movement and energy.
Up top, a knitted Korean-style collar and matching sleeve cuffs in green add a tailored touch, while the green Macron Hero on the right chest keeps the balance opposite the sewn-on club badge sitting proudly over the heart. Flip the shirt and you’ll find eight green embroidered stars across the upper back, quietly flexing the club’s eight Ligue 1 titles. Beneath them, the neckline carries a neat graphic hit featuring both brand and club insignia alongside the “Designed in Bologna” stamp — a signature calling card of Macron’s commitment to in-house craftsmanship at their Valsamoggia campus.
Completing the look, the kit pairs with green shorts — dressed with yellow side stripes — and yellow socks that carry a knitted green top band finished with a crisp yellow line. Cohesive, clean, and unmistakably Canari.
In a landscape flooded with remixes and risky takes, this release stands firm. Classic colours, modern execution, and just enough flair to catch the eye — FC Nantes and Macron continue to prove that tradition doesn’t have to mean tame.
The new FC Nantes Home kit, along with the full range of apparel and merchandise developed by Macron for the French club, is available at macron.com.
