Lille OSC 25/26 Home Kit Revealed by New Balance
The Lille OSC 25/26 home kit has officially been revealed, continuing the club’s strong partnership with New Balance. For the 2025 season, the French club's home shirt pays homage to its local heritage and national pride with a design that’s both modern and meaningful.
Design & Inspiration
At first glance, the kit remains faithful to Lille’s traditional red, but a closer look reveals a detailed geometric pattern woven into the fabric. This intricate design is inspired by the Citadel of Lille, reflecting the club’s historical roots and the city's iconic architecture.
Adding a refined touch, the shirt features a soft V-neck collar that brings a classic look to the otherwise modern silhouette. Pinstripe cuffs in red, white and blue add subtle flair, while tricolour accents on both the collar and sleeve edges offer a nod to the French flag.
On the upper back, just below the collar, the bold club mantra ‘Fiers. Forts. Féroces.’ ("Proud. Strong. Fierce.") is stamped in clean type — a message that resonates with both players and supporters alike.
Release Date & Availability
The Lille OSC 2025/26 home kit by New Balance was officially launched in late May 2025. The release aligns with the club’s pre-season preparations and marks the first glimpse of the new season’s look. As with previous kits, availability began shortly after the unveiling, with online and club store listings going live the same week.
Expectations are that the away and third kits will follow later in the summer, potentially in July or August, as Lille finalises its pre-season calendar.
Fan Reaction & Comparisons
Early reaction across social media platforms has been positive, with many supporters praising the Citadel-inspired design and subtle use of tricolour detailing. Some have compared the pattern work to the 2021/22 third kit, which also featured architectural influences, albeit in a different tone.
While the overall red base is a familiar choice, the fine-tuned updates and historic symbolism have helped this kit stand out as one of New Balance’s most thoughtful Lille designs yet.
Where to Buy Lille OSC 25/26 Kit
Fans eager to get their hands on the Lille 25/26 home kit can now find it available through several retailers and official club outlets.
