Lacazette Jersey, OL 2015-16 Adidas: When Lyon Still Dreamed of Europe

The 2015-16 season was Alexandre Lacazette's last great year in an Olympique Lyonnais jersey before his record transfer to Arsenal. An Adidas vintage home jersey, size L Boys, flocked with the name of Ligue 1's most bankable striker at the time—and sponsored by Hyundai, like any good OL jersey from that decade.

What this jersey represents

In 2015-16, Olympique Lyonnais was in a period of reconstruction post-domination. The seven consecutive league titles (2002-2008) were a distant memory, but the Rhône club remained a safe bet in Ligue 1 and a regular in the Champions League group stages. Bruno Génésio had just arrived on the bench, Hubert Fournier had just left, and OL was looking to regain its European standing.

That season, it was primarily Lacazette's season in all his Lyonnaise glory. The home-grown striker, trained at the club, scored goals in the league consistently and carried the team on his shoulders with clockwork regularity. Beside him, names like Nabil Fekir, Maxime Gonalons—the historic captain—and even Mathieu Valbuena made up a squad that looked formidable on paper.

Moments etched in this jersey

Lacazette, Ligue 1 top scorer
In the 2015-16 season, Lacazette scored 21 goals in the league, finishing as Ligue 1's top scorer. A deserved individual title for the player who would soon become one of the most expensive French strikers in history.

OL's European journey
Lyon qualified for the 2015-16 Champions League and faced Valencia and Zenit Saint-Petersburg in the group stage. The club reached the round of 16, confirming its European stature despite internal sporting turbulence.

Fekir on the rise
Nabil Fekir, returning from a serious injury, began to regain his form and devastating dribbling skills. This season marked the beginning of his true emergence as a world-class player, alongside a peak Lacazette.

Authentic vs. Replica

A vintage authentic jersey is not a supermarket item taken out of stock with tags. It's a jersey that has lived, been worn, and experienced the atmosphere of the stands or the pitch. The Adidas Authentic finishes from that era are superior to mass-market replicas: more technical fabrics, different flocking, a closer-fitting cut for performance.

This one honestly displays its history: a few light stains (spots) and slightly worn flocking (slightly used printings). No lies, no touch-ups. This is exactly what makes it authentic—and frankly, a Lacazette OL 2015-16 jersey in 8/10 condition is still a fine piece for any serious collection.

Vintage Size Guide

This jersey is tagged L Boys, which corresponds to a children's/junior L size. Adidas junior sizes from this generation generally fit children aged 14-15 depending on their build, meaning a chest circumference of around 76-80 cm. Please note: vintage Adidas junior sizes often run true to size and are not as stretchy as modern textiles.

Before buying, measure the child's chest circumference (or the small-sized collector's) flat, arms by their side. Then compare it with our exact measurements available on request. A jersey that's too tight is a frustration—too big is a disappointment. Take the right measurements, it takes 30 seconds and avoids all regrets.

Why have it in your collection

Alexandre Lacazette is one of the most emblematic French strikers of his generation. His time at Lyon is a pure love story between a player trained at the club and its supporters—before his departure to Arsenal, then his return in 2022. A flocked Lacazette OL Adidas 2015-16 jersey is a piece that tells the story of that pivotal moment: the last great season of the Décines native in the colours of his formative club, at the peak of his art.

In junior L size and 8/10 condition, it's not commonly found in bins. Flocked jerseys from that era with such an iconic name, in this correct but not perfect condition—this is precisely what appeals to true collectors. There aren't many still circulating, and even fewer with such legible flocking. It's not new, it's real.
