In a historic moment for women's football! Olympique Lyonnais Féminin, the most decorated club in the sport's history, has officially announced a major rebranding, adopting the new name "OL Lyonnes" and unveiling a striking new crest, effective from the 2025-2026 season. This transformation, detailed by owner Michele Kang, "signals a new era of ambition under the fitting slogan, "New History, Same Legend.""
OL Lyonnes - Olympique Lyonnais Women Team Announces New Name & All-New Logo
The new name, "OL Lyonnes," maintains the club's connection to the "OL family" and its Lyon roots, while the evolution to "Lyonnes" powerfully affirms its all-female identity.
Central to the rebrand is a brand-new OL Lyonnes logo, described as "resolutely feminine and modern." It features a proud, roaring lioness's head instead of the traditional lion, symbolizing boldness and determination. Her flame-shaped neck evokes passion, while the design's blend of rounded curves and sharp lines represents power and femininity. The iconic red and blue club colors are retained, now complemented by a new golden yellow for added warmth. Fittingly, the lioness wears a crown, acknowledging past glories and future ambitions.
Club captain Wendie Renard lauded the design, stating the new lioness emblem "perfectly reflects our warrior spirit." This significant rebranding comes alongside announcements of a new dedicated performance campus and the permanent move of all home matches to the Groupama Stadium, as OL Lyonnes aims to redefine what's possible in women's football.
We strongly expect that both the Men's and Women's football teams will get the same Adidas kits for the 2025-2026 season, just with a change of crests. We might see a bespoke Women's (extra) kit soon, possibly already in the 25-26 season.

Burnley Forced to Wear Ajax Socks in 26-27 Pre-Season Friendly
An unusual kit mishap occurred during the pre-season friendly between Ajax and Burnley at the Johan Cruyff Arena on July 26, 2026. Burnley lined up in their light blue Castore change kit for the match, but a kit color clash forced the English side into an unexpected equipment modification right before kickoff.
With Ajax wearing their traditional red and white home kit paired with white socks, Burnley's kit management only had white socks available, creating an obvious sock clash. To allow the match to proceed smoothly, Ajax came to the rescue by lending Burnley a set of their dark blue Adidas socks.
Burnley players wore the dark blue Ajax socks throughout the match, with many players cutting off the lower foot section to wear them as sleeves over their white grip socks. Consequently, the Ajax branding and Adidas logo were clearly visible on the legs of Burnley's players during the game, which eventually ended in a 2-1 win for Ajax.

Slovak champions ŠK Slovan Bratislava have officially unveiled their new 26-27 kit made by Adidas, dubbed the 'Heart of Bratislava' (Srdce Bratislavy). The design blends club identity with key historical symbols of the Slovakian capital.
The kit comes in a royal blue base highlighted by gold details, including the iconic Adidas three stripes on the shoulders, gold main sponsor branding, and gold player names and numbers on the back. The choice of gold pays homage to Bratislava's coronation history as the official crowning city for Hungarian monarchs over nearly three centuries.
Several bespoke elements are incorporated directly into the fabric. The lower front features an embossed graphic of the iconic Bratislava Castle, while a subtle atmospheric graphic pattern across the upper front represents the Danube River flowing through the heart of the city.
