New humiliation for OL!

In the hard sporting, Olympique Lyonnais is not helped either by its equipment supplier, who designed a clownish third jersey for it.

This start to the season is decidedly complicated for OL. Beaten in Strasbourg (1-2) then swept away by Montpellier at home (1-4), during the first two days of Ligue 1, Lyon is already at its worst sportingly. And he is not helped by his equipment supplier either. For this 2023-2024 season, Adidas has actually designed a (very) colorful third jersey for Les Gones. A tunic that has earned the Rhone club a lot of mockery on social networks.

Produced in collaboration with the French artist Poter, this “third kit” was unveiled on Monday by the specialized site Footy Headlines. “A circus-themed jersey, perfect for a team of clowns”reacted immediately on the fan account @OL695, followed by more than 26,000 followers on X (ex-Twitter). “At least he is connected with the ubiquitous situation of the club. I’m going to buy it and wear it just to make sad people smile again, it should work”dropped @sims_simsi.

” Everything is explained. The players already knew that would be the Europe jersey so they did everything not to play it., tweeted @MicKLBry. According to the regional daily Progress, the Rhone leaders do not yet know what use they will reserve for this colorful jersey. But whether they wear it as a third shirt or just a training shirt, Laurent Blanc’s men will have to avoid covering themselves with further ridicule.
