Lyon 16-17 Home Kit
This is the new Olympique Lyonnais 2016-2017 home shirt.
Predominantly white, the new Olympique Lyon jersey features a bold, blue-and-red center stripe, intercepted for the Hyundai sponsor logo, in a design that draws inspiration from iconic Lyon kits from the 2000s.
Similar to many other Adidas 16-17 shirts, the new Lyon home kit boasts a faux polo collar. Continuing the front stripe design, the collar of the new Lyon jersey is split between a red and a blue half, with additional gold detailing.
White shorts with blue Adidas stripes complement the clean look of the new Lyon home shirt. The socks, meanwhile, continue the half-and-half design with blue and red trim, respectively.
Lyon 2016-17 Away Kit
This is the new Lyon away shirt.
The Lyon 16-17 away jersey is dark blue with four front hoops on a lighter shade of the color. Just like on the new Manchester United 16-17 away kit, the Adidas stripes are positioned on the shoulders of the new Lyon away kit, which additionally features subtle white and red trim.
The shorts and socks of the new Lyon 16-17 away kit are dark blue with white and red details.

First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
