1997-1998 RC Lens Home

The 1997–98 RC Lens home jersey, crafted by Umbro, wears the club’s vibrant “Sang et Or” identity with pride: cascading horizontal red and yellow hoops echoing Lens’ industrial heartland and working‑class spirit. The bold stripes are matched by a black‑trimmed collar and sleeve cuffs, while KIA sponsorship across the chest ties in with the zeitgeist of their first and only Ligue 1 title campaign.

Worn by heroes like Vladimír Šmicer and Frédéric Déhu, the shirt became an emblem of unity and triumph for the Pas‑de‑Calais faithful as Lens silenced critics and claimed historic glory.

 More than a kit, it’s a testament to resilience, community, and the unforgettable moment when Lens made history.
