Crampons: Adidas confirms its leading position
Unsurprisingly, the
Adidas-Nike-Puma
trio monopolizes the football boots market in Ligue 1. “
In total, 97.59% of Ligue 1 players wear studs from one of these three brands
” , says
Footpack
.
Exactly like last year, it is the brand with the three stripes which monopolizes the first place with 42% of the titular players who wore one of its pairs at the start of the season.
Behind them come Nike (30%), which continues its (very) rapid decline, and Puma (26%).
Up five points, the German panther manufacturer “
reaches a historic level
".
Among those who use other equipment manufacturers, we find among others the Parisian Sergio Ramos (Mizuno), the Lille resident Timothy Weah (New Balance), the Auxerrois Quentin Bernard (Kipsta) and the Rennais Romain Salin (TRU).

Swimwear: an average price up slightly...
As far as jerseys are concerned,
Adidas
is also the brand “
the most present and is alone in charge
”, with four teams under contract: Olympique Lyonnais, RC Strasbourg Alsace, AC Ajaccio and Stade Brestois.
Puma
and
Macron
share second position with three teams equipped: Olympique de Marseille, Stade Rennais and RC Lens for the first;
OGC Nice, FC Nantes and AJ Auxerre for the second.
The average price of French elite club tunics - the replica versions, without flocking or badges - escapes inflation a bit.
It is up slightly, from €82.74 last season to €83.54 this year.

...and that of Olympique de Marseille the most expensive
If in 2020-2021, the most expensive jersey in Ligue 1 was none other than that of Paris Saint-Germain, this season there is a little change.
Indeed, now, “
by integrating official flocking and badges
”, it is to buy that of Olympique de Marseille that you have to spend the most (€115.9).
Those of the Ile-de-France club and - surprisingly - that of FC Lorient complete the podium.
And to get the cheapest tunic in the championship, you have to turn to Corsica, and more particularly Ajaccio with a cost of "only" 75€.
For the ball, it should be noted that Kipsta will be the official supplier until the end of the 2026-2027 fiscal year.
