For the matches that Lyon will have to travel to, Umbro and Lyon management went with a kit that has little to do with the overall color scheme of the club. Little, yet still sufficient.

Going with the gold that is in the outline of the club’s badge and not cluttering it with other colors and designs makes this kit simple. However I think adding more than just a touch of red here, and a touch of blue there would have been smarter and made the kit look that much better. As it stands right now it is hard to look at and I personally think there were many other options Umbro and Lyon management could have gone with. Maybe a red kit, or a blue kit, or a combination of the two. The gold is not a bad color, just should not be the “only” color. I give it a 2 out of 5 stars and that is only because it is simple which makes it look good regardless.

It is not a secret that I think Umbro makes some of the nicest kits on the pitch in today’s game. Lyon will take the field for the home matches with a nice kit supplied by Umbro that matches the clubs color scheme perfectly.

Utilizing a solid field of white with nothing more than a red and blue stripe down the left side of the jersey makes this kit simple yet timeless. Matching the blue and red from the badge makes everything flow smoothly together, and for good measure throw an Umbro logo on the right side to make it official. I think with the simplicity that was showin in this kit, and many other kits produced by Umbro, they are one of the top manufacturers in today’s game. I give this kit a 4 out of 5 stars.
