The 2008-09 season was the end of Lyon's dynasty with their 3rd place finish in Ligue 1. Maybe a new jersey will get them back on the title winning track as Umbro has released the new Lyon home & away jersey for the 2009-10 season.The big difference with the home jersey is the horizontal blue & red stripe as opposed to the vertical stripe pattern from the 08-09 kit. The horizontal stripe looks like its underlining Novotel's sponsorship logo and Apicil's logo in the upper left corner under the Umbro logo looks too crowded. Lyon's color scheme makes up for the crowded sponsorship on the top part of the jersey so that the home jersey still looks good but they should have kept the vertical stripe.

The road jersey has that rising red color that blends into the traditional road black on the top. Its much different from the solid black road jersey from 2008-09. The outlined Lyon logo on the upper right corner looks like the press operator forgot to add the Lyon colors to the machine. However, its a unique design and it works with black color scheme of the upper part of the shirt.

Overall, Lyon's new 2009-10 kit is still one of the Top 5 best looking kits in Ligue 1. You can check out more new 2009-10 jersey here.
