Kit Design Inspiration: The Lyon 26-27 home kit is inspired by the club's 1996-97 home shirt but with notable differences.
Key Features: The jersey has a white base, blue raglan sleeves, a central vertical stripe split into red and blue, and gold detailing on the collar and cuffs.
Controversial Elements: The design incorporates a lot of elements, including a vertical stripe with the silhouette of the Lyon coat of arms, which may be considered too busy for some fans.

Update - May 1, 2026: As we expected, the Lyon 26-27 home kit is receiving a lot of criticism. Using Kit Creator, we have created a concept that keeps the core elements but removes details that make the official bad in our opinion - the gold details and the stripe cutout.

May 1, 2026: Footy Headlines can exclusively leak Olympique Lyonnais' new 26-27 home kit. While being inspired by the popular club's 1996-97 home shirt, it is sure to generate debate.

Lyon 26-27 Home Kit

The Adidas OL 2026-2027 home jersey has a look inspired by the 1996-97 home shirt, but not closely. It features a classic white base paired with solid blue raglan sleeves.

The standout element of the Lyon 26-27 home kit is a prominent central vertical stripe, which is split into red on the left and blue on the right. The negative space (the white gap where the Emirates sponsor is placed) actually forms the exact silhouette of the traditional coat of arms of the city of Lyon (the Blason de Lyon). The coat of arms is also a subtle part of the stripes, in the form of a pattern.

To complete the design, the Adidas Lyon 26-27 home kit incorporates gold detailing on the collar and sleeve cuffs.

All in all, a lot is going on on the Lyon 26-27 home jersey. For many, this will be too much.
