Lyon – page 9

Olympique Lyonnais traces its origins to 1899 and was founded in its current form in 1950. The stock behind this page runs to 369 items spanning 1996 to 2026 — one of the deepest club holdings in the catalogue, and heavily weighted towards the recent past.

Almost nothing before 2000

Four items date from the 1990s. Seventy-seven are from the 2000s, 213 from the 2010s and 75 from the 2020s. The club’s most successful years in the 2000s are represented, but thinly compared to the decade that followed.

What sort of items these are

Away shirts lead with 93, ahead of 69 home and 49 third shirts. Then 33 training pieces, 26 Player Issue items, 23 goalkeeper shirts, 20 jackets and nine polos. Player Issue means first-team specification, allocated to squad members rather than sold in shops — a notably high share here, which suggests a steady flow out of the club rather than out of supporters’ wardrobes.

Dating and the women’s team

Every Umbro-branded item in the catalogue falls between 2002 and 2009; adidas pieces are spread across the remaining years. Ten listings are women’s team items, and one is a patch marking eight Women’s Champions League titles — worth knowing if you are searching, because the women’s shirts use the same club name in the listing. Grades run 3/10 to 10/10 with a median of 6, and prices from about £5 to £300 with a median near £41.
