FC Lorient unveiled its new away kit on Saturday during the first pre‑season friendly against US Concarneau. The off‑white jersey, featuring a black collar and Breton floral motifs, bears the Breton inscription “Karantez da Viken” – “infinite love”. The club announced the kit will hit the official shop within the next few days.

What does the new kit look like?

The new away jersey stands out with an off‑white shade, a sleek black collar and stylised floral patterns inspired by traditional Breton attire. On the front, the flowers echo the region’s heritage, while the slogan “Karantez da Viken” appears at the lower right, reinforcing the club’s cultural ties. The club confirmed the fabric is high‑tech, ensuring breathability during summer training.

Why these colours and symbols?

FC Lorient aims to honour its Breton roots while presenting a modern look. The off‑white hue recalls the Emerald Coast beaches, and the black collar adds a sharp contrast. The floral motifs nod to the Morbihan’s traditional costumes, deepening the club’s local identity on the pitch.

How did players and staff react?

After a 2‑0 win over Concarneau, young full‑back Théo Le Bris said, “We’re good on the kits, it’s really beautiful.” Coach Christophe Pélissier added that the fabric’s comfort lets players focus on the game, especially during the physical preparation phase before Ligue 1 kicks off.

What is the club’s current situation?

As the 2026‑2027 season gets underway, FC Lorient sits 5th in the Ligue 1 table with 0 points, having not yet played an official match. Goals scored and conceded remain at zero, reflecting the early stage of the campaign. The next challenge will be the home game against Angers on 27 February 2027, where the Blues hope to turn training performances into real results.

Where can fans buy the new kit?

The club said the jersey will be available at the official stadium shop and online store within the coming days. Supporters will be able to wear the Breton colours proudly from the first match of the season, strengthening the bond between fans and the club.
