White struck with red and blue, the lion on the heart: the OL jersey page brings together the adidas kits of Olympique Lyonnais, home, away and third in men's, women's and children's sizes, OL Lyon women's jerseys, tracksuits and the Tiro line puffer jacket, as well as Originals pieces with the clover.
The colours of OL, for men, women and children.
The Olympique Lyonnais, from 1950 to seven consecutive titles
The Olympique Lyonnais was founded on August 3, 1950, after splitting from the football section of Lyon Olympique Universitaire. The club played for a long time at Gerland before moving in January 2016 to its stadium in Décines-Charpieu, one of the venues for Euro 2016. Its golden age remains the early part of the century: from 2002 to 2008, OL won seven consecutive French champion titles, a national record, notably boosted by Juninho's free kicks. In 2025, the club celebrated its seventy-fifth anniversary, a longevity that its supporters celebrate even in the dressing room.

adidas, OL's kit supplier since 2010
adidas has been dressing OL since 2010, after a different supplier, and the partnership has been extended until 2029. It covers the men's and women's teams, the youth and the academy. The home kit stays true to the white accented with red and blue, while the away and third kits change every year. In terms of the dressing room, the Tiro line includes the All Weather jacket, tracksuit trousers, and the puffer jacket, while the Originals line, identifiable by its trefoil, offers OL-themed t-shirts and retro-style jackets for the city.
OL Lyonnes and women's kits: another Lyon pride
The women's section, now called OL Lyonnes, has won eight women's Champions League titles between 2011 and 2022, including five in a row from 2016 to 2020, with the eighth in 2022 against Barcelona in Turin. Its home, away, and third kits are available in both women's fit and regular fit, so everyone can wear the colours of the women's team. The women's kits from OL feature the design of the men's team in a fitted cut with narrower shoulders. This way, the whole family can sport the Lyon colours, whether in the stands or in everyday life.
When to buy an OL kit at the best time
For Lyon supporters, Black Friday signals the start of good deals, to keep an eye on in the Club Promotions, just before the end-of-year celebrations and their children's kits gifted under the Christmas tree. The winter sales approach with the second half of the season, followed by the French Days of spring that accompany the end of the league. With the summer sales and the return of training, the clearance sale features kits from past seasons.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there a lion on the OL badge?
The lion is the emblem of the city of Lyon, present on its coat of arms since the Middle Ages. The club incorporated it into its badge to assert its attachment to the city, and it has become a symbol of Lyon supporters.
What size should I choose for an adidas OL kit?
The supporter version of adidas has a regular fit, so your usual size is fine. If you're between sizes, compare your chest measurement to the sizing guide and go for the larger size if you want to wear it over a sweatshirt.
Does the OL away kit change colour every year?
Yes, both the away and third kits are redesigned each summer, whereas the home kit maintains the white with red and blue accents. This prompts many supporters to collect the alternate kits from year to year.
How can I recognise the OL Originals line?
The Originals pieces feature the adidas trefoil instead of the mountain-shaped three stripes logo. They are inspired by styles from the seventies and eighties and are typically worn in the city rather than on the pitch.
Home or away, what should a young Lyon supporter choose?
The kids' home kit remains the most popular, as it retains the club's historic white design with the badge and sponsors. For a young supporter who already has the home kit, the away or third kits make a unique addition.
