Leaked: Lyon 2026-27 Third Kit — Funk-Inspired Design
Olympique Lyonnais’ 2026-27 Adidas third kit has leaked, and it is a loud one: a black base covered in funk-inspired multicolour graphics drawn from spinning vinyl records, with a multicolour embroidered crest, a psychedelic pink, blue and yellow take on the Adidas three stripes across the shoulders, and turquoise, pink and orange accents throughout. It is a tribute to Lyon’s reputation as a home of French funk music.

How did the Lyon 2026-27 third kit leak?
The shirt was shared online by kit leaker KamilBerberler and picked up by Footy Headlines. The images show a finished design with embroidered detailing, which points to a near-final production sample rather than an early mock-up.
Neither Adidas nor Lyon has published the kit officially, so we are treating it as a leak. The level of finish on the crest and stripes, though, suggests this is close to the version that will end up on sale.
What does the new Lyon third shirt look like?
This is one of the more adventurous shirts of the 2026-27 cycle. The black base is broken up by flowing linework and colour splashes inspired by funk music and spinning records, with accents in turquoise, pink, orange and light blue. It is a clear departure from Lyon’s usual clean red, white and blue identity.
The details carry the theme all the way through. The club crest is rendered in multicolour embroidery, the Adidas logo uses diagonal segmented colours, and the three stripes on the shoulders are reworked into a wavy pink, blue and yellow pattern. Inside the collar sits a stylised “Olympique Lyonnais” graphic. Every element leans into the funk concept rather than treating it as a surface print, which is what separates this shirt from the more generic graphic third kits that tend to fill the market each summer.
How does it compare to Lyon’s other 2026-27 kits?
| Kit | Base colour | Theme |
|---|---|---|
| Home (leaked) | White | Red-and-blue centre stripe, gold trim, 96-97 nod |
| Away | Darker tones | Standard away styling |
| Third (leaked) | Black | Funk music, multicolour graphics |
Where the leaked 2026-27 home kit plays it classic with a white base and heritage centre stripe, the third shirt does the opposite. It is the expressive option in the range, aimed at fans who want something that stands out well beyond match day. Adidas has increasingly used third kits as its most creative slot, and this Lyon design fits that pattern.
When can you buy the Lyon 2026-27 third kit?
The third kit is expected to launch in August 2026, which lines up with how Adidas usually rolls out third shirts across its club partners. Once it is on sale, you will be able to find Lyon shirts in our Olympique Lyonnais jersey collection. The Lyon 2026/27 away jersey is already available if you want the latest look now.
