As Red Star FC gear up for their latest campaign in Ligue 2 BKT, they’re doing so carrying the weight of 128 years on their backs. And now, thanks to Kappa and the hands of designer Tom Ducarouge, they’re wearing it too, with the reveal of their new home and away shirts for 25/26.
Unveiled ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, Red Star’s new home and away kits aren’t just fabric—they’re slabs of story. In typical Red Star style, they don’t follow trends; they cement them. Literally. The theme? Concrete. But not just any concrete—the kind that’s cracked, weathered, and full of soul. The kind that’s seen generations chant from the terraces of Stade Bauer and still stands tall.
Because if Red Star FC were a material, they wouldn’t be silk or satin—they’d be concrete. Forged by time, sweat, community, and resistance. Ducarouge, known for his textural eye and sculpted sensibility, channels this belief through a deeply personal design language. This isn’t nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake—this is a love letter to Saint-Ouen, pressed into the threads.
Let's start with the home shirt. Green and white. Instantly recognisable. But here, those iconic stripes are fused with a unique pattern born from a physical fragment of the old West Stand at Bauer. It's a visual and tactile homage to the terraces that shaped the club's spirit, a badge of honour for those who stood through highs and lows. There’s something almost poetic about wearing the very surface that held the weight of the club’s most loyal.
Where the home is bold, the away is meditative. A concrete-white canvas that allows the story to speak. The texture lifted straight from the Bauer stands wraps the shirt like a relic, subtle but loaded with meaning. It’s ghostly in the best way—like the presence of past Red Star legends etched into the game’s present.
These aren’t just kits. They’re artefacts. Testament to a club that’s never forgotten where it comes from, even as it rises. In a football world often quick to chase the shiny and new, Red Star and Kappa remind us that beauty lies in what endures.
This is what happens when you let culture lead design. This is Red Star FC—concrete, cracked, but unshakably alive.
The new Red Star FC jerseys are available on the club's online store.
