Lyon Changes Adidas 21-22 Kits From Prototypes
May 21, 2021, by Chris
- Kit Changes: The final Adidas Lyon 21-22 home and away kits differ from the original prototypes due to changes requested by the club and Adidas.
- Home Kit Details: The home kit was changed from pinstripes to feature a classic red and blue vertical stripe, reminiscent of the club's most successful era.
- Away Kit Details: The away kit now includes a subtle camouflage pattern, which was not present in the original prototype.
Pictures of the Adidas Lyon 2021-2022 home and away kits were leaked. Both leaked jerseys have slightly different designs to the kits we leaked - this is because the club / Three Stripes changed the kits from the ones Adidas originally planned to give them.
Fans were not happy with many of Adidas' recent OL jerseys
Adidas presented the club their prospected designs around 18 months ago. However, as fans were not happy with many of Adidas' recent OL jerseys, the club and the Three Stripes changed the looks of the kits - the result is much accepted by fans it seems like.
Adidas Olympique Lyonnais 21-22 Home Kit - Prototype vs Final
For the home kit, Lyon and their fans got Adidas adding the all-time classic red and blue vertical stripe on the left chest. The original kit wanted by Adidas had pinstripes.
The red-blue side stripe is reminiscent of the jersey design worn in the most successful years of the club from the early to mid-2000s when Lyon won seven Ligue 1 titles in a row.
Adidas Olympique Lyonnais 21-22 Away Kit - Prototype vs Final
For the away kit, Lyon added a subtle camouflage pattern. The prototype Adidas presented to the club featured a very clean design without it.
We expect the new Adidas OL 21-22 jerseys to be released in May 2021.
Change for the better? Should more teams force Adidas to change their kits to be more interesting? Comment below.

Eldor Shomurodov Wears Custom Adidas F50 Uzbekistan Flag Boots
During Uzbekistan's 2026 World Cup opener against Colombia, captain Eldor Shomurodov caught the eye with a pair of beautifully customized football boots. The striker took to the pitch in a personalized edition of the Adidas F50 that proudly displayed the colors of the Uzbekistan national flag. Thanks to @abcdefutbol for the spot.
Shomurodov opted for a clean white base for his Adidas F50 boots, featuring a clever lateral customization.

FIFA Approves Special Legacy Patch for Muslera at 2026 World Cup
During Uruguay's 2026 World Cup match against Spain, goalkeeper Fernando Muslera took to the pitch wearing a special Legacy Patch on his jersey. This exclusive badge is reserved by FIFA for players who have participated in at least five World Cup tournaments. Muslera's appearance at the 2026 tournament marks his fifth inclusion in a World Cup squad, following his selections for South Africa 2010, Brazil 2014, Russia 2018, and Qatar 2022.
The inclusion of the badge was initially in doubt, as Muslera did not play any minutes during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where Sergio Rochet started in goal. However, the Uruguayan Football Association submitted a formal petition to FIFA to recognize his squad selection as a full participation. FIFA officially approved the request, allowing the veteran goalkeeper to sport the Legacy Patch.
