Adidas and Olympique Lyonnais have unveiled the club’s away shirt for the 2025/26 campaign, and it’s a design that walks the line between tradition and innovation with unmistakable French flair. Cloaked in Lyon’s iconic red and blue and steeped in architectural inspiration, this design is a love letter to the club’s past, present, and the city it calls home.
Carrying the DNA of generations past, the new Olympique Lyon 25/26 away jersey from adidas resurrects classic vertical striping, a visual signature that stirs memory and pride among Les Gones faithful. But this isn’t a simple throwback. Woven directly into the engineered fabric, the stripes are not printed but embedded — giving the piece a refined, premium finish that whispers quality from every angle.
The design nods subtly to the Groupama Stadium, Lyon’s modern footballing fortress. Echoes of the ground’s structure are baked into the aesthetic — the geometry of the stadium’s walkways and its neon-lit pitch exits find themselves reinterpreted across the shirt’s layout. The red and blue, worn like armour on away days, channel both club spirit and civic pride.
A sharp V-neck injects a dose of contemporary class, while the phrase “proud of our colors” emblazoned on the upper back cements the connection between player and supporter, past and future. It's heritage with intent, a kit that reminds everyone what it means to wear Lyon’s colours on the road.
Crafted with performance in mind, the jersey doesn’t sacrifice substance for style. Engineered fabric brings lightweight comfort and unrestrained movement — a canvas built for the modern game, dressed in timeless Lyonnais elegance.
For a club that continues to forge its story on both domestic and European stages, this shirt feels like a rallying cry. Red. Blue. Unmistakably Lyon.
