LOSC Lille and New Balance have announced the release of a new fourth kit that pays homage to the city’s heritage as the northern powerhouse within the French textile industry.

The shirt, which will be on rotation for the rest of the 22/23 season, commemorates Lille’s rich history via its clean ecru colourway - inspired by the pigment of raw cotton used in the metropolis’ fabric production for centuries - and provides an understated yet clean look to NB's latest release.

The phrase “nous somme le nord” (we are the north) can be found on the shirt’s inside collar and celebrates the club’s position in the region, whilst the shirt's unique graphic depicting a compass pointing north, finished with LOSC Lille’s iconic red and navy club colours, completes the look.  

New Balance applied cutting-edge design technology across all 22/23 kits to ensure superior performance, and Les Dogues' shirt is no different. Developed using innovative NB Dry technology, the brands’ innovative material that wicks away moisture, will help keep players fresh and dry from the first to the final whistle.

On-sale from 4th February at 09.00am GMT, the New Balance LOSC Lille fourth kit will be available from LOSC stores and selected retailers in France.
