Lyon Changes Adidas 21-22 Kits From Prototypes
- 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.

All-New Ligue 3 Revealed
The French Football Federation (FFF) has officially announced the launch of the fully professional "Ligue 3" for the upcoming 2026-2027 season, permanently replacing the current third-tier Championnat National. This historic move marks the first time the FFF will directly organize a professional men's league.
As part of this major restructuring of the French football pyramid, the lower divisions will also be renamed for better clarity: the current National 2 will become National 1, and National 3 will shift to National 2. The newly formed 18-team Ligue 3 aims to bring greater financial stability, technological innovation such as a coaches' video challenge system, and increased exposure to the division, with all 309 matches set to be broadcast exclusively on the Ligue 1+ platform.
To mark this monumental transition, the FFF has also introduced a completely new visual identity for the competition. The rebranding is centered around a modern logo that combines the rectangular shape of a football pitch with the tiered structure of a stadium grandstand. This design visually embodies the league's new official slogan, "Terrain de rencontres" (Meeting Ground), aiming to highlight the intersection of professional ambition and popular, locally rooted football.
