Designed to raise awareness and support the fight against breast cancer during Pink October, the jersey will be worn in official competition by both the women's and men's first teams at the Stade de la Beaujoire throughout the month.

Deep burgundy trims accent the collar, cuffs, and monochrome branding, while a pink ribbon sits proudly on the chest between the Macron Hero and the embroidered club crest. On the back neck, eight embroidered pink ribbons replace the traditional stars that represent Nantes' eight French league championship titles.
Burgundy shorts and pastel pink socks with a burgundy turnover band complete the full kit. In support of the initiative, 50% of the profits from shirt sales will be donated directly to local charities Madame S and Ma Parenthèse, along with the FC Nantes endowment fund.
