The Racing 92 club unveiled its new jersey for the 2021-2022 season on Monday, with a notable change since the Ile-de-France club breaks the usual codes of its outfit. The Hauts-de-Seine club changes equipment supplier, from Coq Sportif to Nike. No more horizontal bands in sky-and-white colors. “
Since 1892, the Racing jersey had not changed, which made 139 years of tradition and affection. We wanted, like what we did with the training center at Plessis-Robinson and the Arena, to show that the club was evolving and continuing to grow. Nike has concocted an evolution of the jersey that expresses this evolution with unstructured bands. This represents both tradition and modernity
”,explains President Jacky Lorenzetti to
Le Figaro
.
And to anticipate the critics on this small revolution: “
We are aware that there is a change but it looks like a Racing jersey.
The colors remain the same.
We wanted to be a little more modern.
We do not renounce the past, but we want to be more contemporary.
The traditionalists will cry their shirts but, for all the other teams of the club, from the youth teams to the Under-21s, there will be no changes.
