The Legacy
Orange sponsored this RC Lens third shirt throughout the 1996-1997 Division 1 campaign. The club finished 13th in the league standings. Umbro provided the equipment for a group that included Jean-Guy Wallemme, Vladimir Smicer, and Tony Vairelles. Wallemme provided stability in defense while the club looked to integrate new attacking options like Smicer. Vairelles contributed as a forward during his time in northern France. This shirt features the kit manufacturer and main sponsor associated with the team for that specific year of domestic competition.
