New Balance’s Special Edition LOSC Lille 80th Anniversary Collection

New Balance’s special edition LOSC Lille 80th anniversary collection masterfully combines tradition with innovation, celebrating the rich history of Olympique Lillois and SC Fives—two clubs that merged to create today’s LOSC Lille. The kit is both refined and nostalgic, with a crisp white shirt featuring red cuffs and a V-shaped collar inspired by Olympique Lillois, paired with SC Fives-inspired navy shorts and socks. An embroidered fleur-de-lis crest replaces the modern badge, symbolizing pride in the club’s roots. To complement the on-field attire, a lifestyle collection allows fans to celebrate off the pitch, offering a New Balance 327 trainer, hoodies, tees, pants, and jackets. Designed with cutting-edge materials, the kit promises top-tier performance in moisture control and comfort, with expertly crafted trims, ventilated side panels, and a premium collar. Senior Director Kenny McCallum highlights the collection as a tribute to LOSC’s legacy.
