New Balance have dropped the curtain on LOSC Lille’s Third Kit for the 2025/26 campaign — and this one comes armoured in heritage. Drawing deep from the heart of the city, the shirt is a bold tribute to Lille’s most enduring monument: the 17th-century Citadel.
Sharp and sophisticated, the LOSC Lille 25/26 third shirt from New Balance lands in a moody Black base, punctuated with Team Royal detailing and flashes of Clementine, a palette that feels as commanding as the fortress it salutes. At the core of the design is an abstract geometric pattern — all jagged edges and structured lines — echoing the architectural identity of the Citadel itself. It’s a subtle nod to strength and resilience, values that have long defined both the city and the club.
The fortress theme doesn’t stop at the visuals. It runs deeper, right into the DNA of the badge. LOSC’s distinctive five-sided crest? That comes from the Citadel too, its pentagonal silhouette repping the city’s military past and the unyielding spirit of the Dogues.
"The Citadel has stood as a symbol of strength and determination in Lille for centuries, and we wanted to bring that spirit onto the pitch with this kit," said Kenny McCallum, Senior Director of New Balance Football Product. “This year’s Third Kit is a tribute to the club’s heritage and a reminder of the qualities that make the Dogues so formidable.”
The LOSC Lille 25/26 third shirt is available from 7 August at newbalance.com
