Why Are Lens Called the Blood and Gold?
Lens wear red and yellow, known in French as "sang et or", blood and gold. The colours are tied to the region's history. Fans also see them as a tribute to the miners who built the town and the club.
2026-27 Home Shirt
The home shirt is yellow with red trim. Its design is inspired by the twin slag heaps of Loos-en-Gohelle, symbols of the area's coal-mining past.
2026-27 Away Shirt
The away shirt is black with green tonal chevrons. Its pattern is inspired by the mines. It continues the club's tribute to Saint Barbara, protector of miners.
