What This Jersey Represents

The 2013-2014 season is Lyon in reconquest mode. The seven consecutive Ligue 1 titles are in the past, the club is coming out of a complicated period, and Rémi Garde is at the helm to get OL back on track. Olympique Lyonnais 2013-14 isn't just playing to survive — they're playing to remind everyone that they belong in the leading group of French football.

On the pitch, it's a transitional but not untalented generation. Bafétimbi Gomis is still there to put pressure on defenses, Lisandro López brings his South American experience, and youngsters like Alexandre Lacazette are starting to make a serious name for themselves. It's a team with character, even if it's still looking for collective consistency over the course of a season.

Moments Etched in This Jersey

Lacazette Explodes — The Season of Confirmation
2013-14 is the season when Alexandre Lacazette truly gained momentum and established his name in French football. His goals began to significantly impact Lyon's results, and observers realized they were dealing with a future great striker.

The Return to the Champions League as a Top Priority
After a less glorious period on the European stage, OL fought in Ligue 1 to secure qualification for top-level European competition. Every away game in this jersey became a test of character for this rebuilding team.

The Derby — The Eternal Rendezvous
Wearing the OL away jersey in 2013-14 also means carrying the history of the rivalry with Saint-Étienne, that derby that has electrified French football for decades. The Gones never needed an extra reason to excel against Les Verts — honor was enough.

Authentic vs. Replica

An authentic vintage Adidas jersey is not the same as a replica produced for the general public. The cut, the materials, the interior finishes — everything speaks of a specific era, of specifications designed for a professional player on a field. This is the difference collectors seek, and it's what you have in your hands here.

The PRINTING condition on this jersey is the mark of time — a flocked design that has lived, that tells a story. The 8/10 condition indicates a jersey that has been worn, carefully preserved, but not fresh out of a display box. For a serious collector, this is exactly what's sought: authenticity, not sterile perfection.

Vintage Size Guide

Vintage Adidas jerseys from this generation fit more snugly than modern cuts. An era M often corresponds to what you would wear today as an S or a tight M, depending on your body shape. Don't rely solely on the label — the 2010s saw significant changes in cut among kit manufacturers, and Adidas is no exception.

Before confirming your order, measure your chest circumference and compare it with the flat measurements of the jersey. If you don't have the measurements, contact us directly — we prefer that you order the correct item the first time rather than having to process a return. This is vintage, not fast fashion: every piece deserves to go to the right person.

Why Have It in Your Collection

The Lyon 2013-14 collector's jersey represents a pivotal period for the Rhône club — this phase of reconstruction that precedes its return to the top. Jerseys from clubs in transition are often underestimated by the market, then they become rare and sought after when people realize what they let slip away. "La Bouche," with its nickname that resonates with all OL fans, already has this emotional value that doesn't diminish.

In 8/10 condition with PRINTING status, this jersey is not common on the market. Such a clean example of an Adidas away jersey from this specific season doesn't stay long in good collections. There aren't many in this condition, and even fewer with this emblematic nickname that is part of Lyon folklore — that's why it deserves a place in your display case.
