Shirt condition
Excellent condition
Remarkable condition for a fifteen-year-old shirt: the burgundy is deep, the pink arabesque pattern has not faded, the gold shoulder stripes are intact and the LISANDRO No.9 printing is crisp with no cracking. The rear Groupama sponsor and the Ligue 1 patch are flawless. No holes, no stains, no major flaw found during inspection.

🛠️ Workshop note — The printing reads « LISANDRO », not « LÓPEZ »: that is the name the Argentine striker actually wore at Lyon. A detail resellers regularly get wrong, and the first thing collectors check.
📖 2010-2011: Lyon's 60th anniversary, in burgundy and pink
Some shirts you never forget. This is one of them: deep burgundy, pink arabesques, gold stripes — for Olympique Lyonnais's anniversary season adidas produced one of the boldest away kits ever worn in Ligue 1. On the back, the No.9 of Lisandro López, the striker who lit up Gerland.
🎂 1950-2010: sixty years of the club. The wording is printed inside the collar. It only existed on that season's shirts — the clearest dating marker on this piece.
🎨 The most debated design of Lyon's adidas era. Pink arabesque pattern on burgundy, gold collar and stripes: divisive on release, fifteen years later it has become one of the most sought-after French shirts on the vintage market.
🃏 Everest Poker. A sponsor typical of the period, long gone from French shirts. This kind of detail is exactly what gives a vintage piece its value: it anchors the shirt to a precise year.
👑 Lisandro López — born in Buenos Aires in 1983, joined Lyon in 2009 from FC Porto in what was then a club-record transfer. Lyon's top scorer for several seasons, Argentina international. The last great No.9 of the Gerland era.
❓ Frequently asked questions about this shirt
Is the shirt 100% authentic?
Yes. Original adidas label 04/10 with code P00325 (photo 4), gold-thread embroidered crest, 1950-2010 anniversary collar, period Ligue 1 patch. Authentication carried out in my workshop, real photos of the exact item sold, lifetime authenticity guarantee.
Why « LISANDRO » and not « LÓPEZ »?
Because that is the name the striker officially wore on his back at Lyon, like many South American players who use their first name. A « LÓPEZ » printing on a Lyon shirt from this period would in fact be a red flag.
What does « 1950 — 2010 » in the collar mean?
It marks the 60th anniversary of Olympique Lyonnais, founded in 1950. It only appears on that anniversary season's shirts, which dates this piece beyond any ambiguity.
How does this M fit?
52 cm pit to pit and 75 cm in length, flat measurements given above. It is a 2010 adidas M with a fairly generous straight cut for the period. Compare with a shirt you already wear.
