Completing the set for the coming season, New Balance launch the Lille 20/21 third shirt, which draws inspiration from none other than the French national flag itself, the world famous Tricolore.

Following up the recently released classic colours of the home shirt, albeit with a modern addition, and the dark hues of the away shirt for the 20/21 season, New Balance round out Lille’s look for the coming campaign with a lighter feel for the third shirt. Inspired by the world famous Tricolore and the club’s primary colours, the third shirt is a classic white design, with a distinct cyan blue and red anaglyph graphic adorning the sleeves. 

The New Balance logo and the LOSC crest have also been applied with an anaglyph, with the blue cyan and red graphics adding visible depth. General Manager of New Balance Football, Kenny McCallum said: “We wanted to continue our history of creating bespoke kits. Introducing new design applications such as anaglyph graphics shows our commitment to producing special kits for the Clubs we sponsor”.

Anaglyph or not, while the design is clean and shouldn’t offend fans, it’s hard not to notice the certain resemblances with Liverpool’s 19/20 away shirt if we’re being totally honest.
