“Lundi 30 juin, à partir de 18 h seront présentés les nouveaux maillots de l’Olympique Lyonnais pour la saison 2008/2009 en présence de Jean-Michel Aulas, des principaux partenaires du club et de nombreux joueurs rhodaniens (Juninho, Cris, Lloris, Ederson, Pjanic, Tafer, Grenier).”

Basically, it’s saying that Lyon’s kit presentation will be this Monday at noon. The players presenting the new kits will be Juni, Cris, Lloris, Ederson, Pjanic, Tafer, and Grenier.

That’s weird. Lyon normally have their new recruits (from the previous winter and this summer so far) model the kits. So I’m not sure what Cris and Juni are doing there. Instead, Delgado and Boumsong should be there with Ederson, Pjanic, and Lloris.

Also, it’s strange to see Grenier and Tafer there. They were promoted from within, not purchased. Guys like Benzema, Remy, Mounier, etc never got to present kits before.

The blacked out guy is you, and everybody who buys the jersey. The ad reads “find the colors of the european jerseys and take your spot among the pros”. It’s kinda like “once you get one of these, you’re part of the team”

the blacked out guy… is cris. it’s the same silhouette as his other one in the same pic, they just touched up one ear to make it a little less spocky.

it’s hard to judge from a swatch, but the blue kit will probably be alright. that’s a traditional OL color, most recently worn winning the coupe de la ligue.

the black had to go eventually. i would have loved to see the gray come back, my all time fave (the real gray, not the dirty white w/ red shorts, our worst kit since justin bridou days).

the yellow may just be alright if it isn’t too fluo, and they get the shorts right. black, or silver, why not?

my big question is the stripes on the white kit. dollars to doughnuts they’ll be horizontal. hope so anyway.

On a side note, I hear Lyon’s training outfits and accompanying gear are going to look very awesome next season.

Oh wow, I am so dense. Now that I think about it, that Ben Arfa comment is actually really funny. My cleverness radar is way off the mark today.

@ Inara: I was just being sarcastic. Ben-Arfa is the only black-listed player in the Lyon squad.

But Ben Arfa’s head isn’t shaped like that…is it? Plus it’s strange that Lyon would promote their kits if Ben Arfa won’t be around to play in them next year.

We can rule out Boumsong, Benzema, and Cris because they are already in the poster. Fabio Santos? But he’s still in Brazil.
