2016-17 Ligue 1 Kit Overview - All 16-17 Shirts
Aug 11, 2016, by Pat
The new Ligue 1 season kicks off this weekend. As last year, we want to give you a compact overview over all 20 teams' new jerseys going into the season.
Angers
The new SCO Angers 16-17 kits are unlikely to offend anyone. Made by Kappa, they bring pretty standard looks to the club.
SC Bastia
Also made by Kappa are SC Bastia's new kits, all three of which feature interesting designs.
Girondins Bordeaux
Girondins Bordeaux's 2016-17 Puma kits feature designs that could barely be more different, ranging from the 1980s-inspired home shirt and the pretty traditional away shirt to an outrageously bold third kit that features important landmarks of Bordeaux as photo prints.
SM Caen
Both the kit supplier and badge are new at Caen, as Umbro supply the club with a clean set for the 16-17 season.
Dijon FCO
Newly promoted this season, Dijon has some quite interesting kits this season, with both the home and away third featuring an eye-catching gradient. The Dijon 16-17 away kit is more standard, black and red.
EA Guingamp
While EA Guingamp's new kits feature a relatively interesting, asymmetrical base design, they are let down by an overkill of sponsors.
Lille LOSC
As New Balance take over from Nice at Lille, the brand decided to play it safe for the first year, and it seems to have worked well.
FC Lorient
The new Lorient 16-17 kits are based on Adidas' miadidas teamwear service.
Olympique Lyon
Once again made by Adidas, the new Lyon home and away kits for the 16-17 Ligue 1 season feature bespoke, club-specific designs.
Olympique Marseille
Both of these things are also true at Marseille, with the club additionally receiving a third kit that celebrates the rich history of Argentinians at OM.
FC Metz
All based on the same template, the FC Metz 16-17 kits were modified with enhanced on the sides.
AS Monaco
Both of Monaco's new kits introduce very clean and powerful designs, while the previous away shirt got carried over to serve as new third.
Montpellier HSC
Another team to be supplied by Nike, Montpellier's new kits have simplistic designs that are altered by the addition of almost countless sponsor logos, for the better or worse.
FC Nantes
As we've become so accustomed to, Umbro's new kits for Nantes bring very smart looks for the Ligue 1 club.
AS Nancy
Another team to source its 16-17 kits from Nike's teamwear offering, AS Nancy Lorraine decided to base both on the same 'Striped Division II' template.
OGC Nice
Made by Italian brand Macron, the OGC Nice 16-17 kits introduce clean designs. More importantly perhaps, the team will wear a special version of the away kit on the first match day, featuring the names of the victims of the terror attack in the city earlier this summer.
Paris Saint-Germain
Celebrating the club's traditions and aspirations, the PSG 16-17 home and away kits boast fairly simple and clean designs, based on Nike's Vapor kit template with AeroSwift technology. The yet-to-be-released PSG third kit could prove to be the most stunning of the set.
Stade Rennais
The Stade Rennais 16-17 kits are made by Puma and feature powerful, relatively simple looks.
AS Saint-Étienne
Made by Le Coq Sportif for the second time in row, the new Saint-Étienne 2016-2017 kits introduce clean, traditional designs.
Toulouse FC
The last team in this overview, Toulouse was also the last in the league in terms of kit releases and only launched its new jerseys for the 2016-17 season on August 11.

Girondins Bordeaux 26-27 Home Kit Released
FC Girondins de Bordeaux and Hummel have officially unveiled the club's new home kit for the 26-27 campaign. Continuing the partnership that began last season, the Danish sportswear brand delivers a clean, heritage-focused look designed around the club's traditional identity.
The Bordeaux 26-27 home shirt is predominantly dark navy, centered around the iconic white scapular across the upper chest. A retro-styled white polo collar with a crossover V-neck and contrasting white sleeve cuffs complement the classic aesthetic. Adding depth to the navy base is a subtle tone-on-tone geometric pattern featuring a diamond grid interwoven with the three interlaced crescents from the city of Bordeaux's coat of arms.
Hummel completes the jersey with its signature white chevrons running along the shoulders, alongside the Hummel wordmark and the club's crest displayed on the chest. Navy shorts and socks complete the full 26-27 home kit.
Chelsea 26-27 Third Kit Spotted for Sale
Chelsea's new 26-27 third kit has been spotted on retail shelves and has now begun appearing across select Nike online stores, providing a full look at the retro-infused design ahead of its formal club launch. Following initial leaks over the past week, the shirt has already surfaced in both player-issue and replica versions in multiple locations. Big thanks to @batsflip.
In-store displays show the kit equipped with the USDC by Circle front-of-shirt sponsor and the gold FIFA Club World Champions crest positioned centrally between the Nike swoosh and the club badge. Clean, sponsorless editions have also appeared on official retail channels, complemented by matching white shorts and socks.
Stade de Reims 26-27 Third Kit Released - Celebrating 100 Years of Circuit de Gueux
Puma and Stade de Reims have officially unveiled the club's new third shirt for the 26-27 campaign. The design serves as a tribute to the historic Circuit de Gueux racing track located just outside the city, marking the 100th anniversary of its opening in 1926.
The Puma Stade de Reims 26-27 third jersey is predominantly black, accented by curved light grey brush-stroke graphics across the body that resemble skid marks on asphalt. A contrasting grey V-neck collar, matching cuffs, and grey side panels complete the frame, while the club crest, manufacturer branding, and sponsor prints appear in clean monochrome white.
A standout finishing touch can be found at the lower hem in the form of a special commemorative jock tag. The badge features the Circuit de Gueux layout, the French tricolor, a checkered flag motif, and the inscription "100 ANS 1926-2026". The new third kit is available through the club's official webshop.
Sunderland Announce Shuffle as Official Sleeve Partner
Sunderland AFC have announced a new multi-year agreement with Shuffle, naming the centralized crypto casino and sports betting platform as the club's Official Sleeve Partner. The Shuffle branding will make its on-pitch debut on the first-team kits starting this weekend.
The deal replaces LiveScore Bet, who served as Sunderland's sleeve sponsor during the 25-26 season. While Premier League regulations prohibit front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships starting in the 26-27 campaign, betting and casino brands remain permitted to feature on shirt sleeves.
Shuffle's logo will be displayed on the sleeve of Sunderland's kits throughout the multi-year partnership, providing global visibility for the platform as the Black Cats continue to overhaul their commercial lineup.
BG Pathum United 26-27 AFC Champions League Two Home Kit Released
Thai League club BG Pathum United has officially revealed its dedicated home kit for the 26-27 AFC Champions League Two campaign. Produced by Nike, the jersey adapts the club's domestic home look into a streamlined, competition-compliant design for continental action.
The 26-27 ACL2 home shirt utilizes the same royal blue base and template as the standard domestic kit, accented by dark navy ribbing on the collar and sleeve cuffs alongside white side panel details. To adhere to AFC equipment regulations, the domestic sponsors have been stripped away. In place of the usual LEO front sponsor, the continental version showcases a white Singha Corporation graphic paired with the player's squad number on the front, complemented by a monochrome white club crest and Nike Swoosh.
The Nike BG Pathum United 26-27 AFC Champions League Two home kit is now available through the club's official club store and online shop, priced at 999 THB with optional full flex printing.
Newcastle Jets 26-27 AFC Champions League Elite Home & Away Kits Released
A-League side Newcastle Jets have officially revealed their new 26-27 home and away kits for their upcoming AFC Champions League Elite campaign. Crafted by New Balance, the special collection takes direct inspiration from the kits worn during the club's very first Asian continental adventure back in 2009.
The Newcastle Jets 26-27 ACLE home jersey is predominantly gold, highlighted by a navy panel across the upper chest and shoulders separated by a thin red accent line. The retro-inspired template is completed with gold shorts and socks. Inverting the palette, the away jersey features a deep navy base topped with a contrasting gold chest block and matching red piping, paired with navy shorts and socks.
Both shirts feature the club crest, New Balance logos, and the Wadam Living sponsor across the midriff, as well as the official AFC Champions League Elite tournament sleeve patch on the right arm.
CR Belouizdad 26-27 Home Kit Released
Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 side CR Belouizdad have officially unveiled their new home kit for the 26-27 season, produced by Puma. Designed as a celebration of the club's legacy and identity, the shirt brings a classic look back to the forefront for the capital side.
The Puma CR Belouizdad 26-27 home shirt is predominantly red, anchored by a bold white chevron across the chest. It incorporates a white V-neck collar, patterned white sleeve cuffs, and a subtle "1962" detail on the sleeve honoring the year of the club's founding. The CRB crest with its championship star is placed over the chest alongside white Puma branding and the logo of main sponsor Madar Holding.
Built with Puma's dryCELL performance fabric and RE:FIBRE recycled materials, the new jersey is completed by matching red shorts and red socks.
