Lille OSC to feature Flemish Lion on 2026/27 kit

French football club Lille OSC has unveiled a special fourth kit for the 2026/27 season in collaboration with New Balance. The design serves as a tribute to the Flemish history and cultural heritage of the Lille region.

In a rare move, the club's traditional emblem will be replaced on this specific jersey by the Flemish Lion, the historical coat of arms of Flanders. The kit features a black base with yellow accents, reflecting the historical colors of the region. Additional design elements include patterns inspired by Flemish stained-glass windows and the local landscape. The collection also includes accessories such as a ball, scarf, and hat.
