Metz

FC Metz are one of French football's most recognisable clubs thanks to their stunning grenat (maroon) kits, a colour so distinctive it has become the club's identity. Founded in 1932 in the cathedral city of Lorraine, Les Grenats have spent the majority of their history in the top two divisions of French football, building a reputation as a resilient, spirited club with a loyal regional fanbase.

Founded in 1932 and based in Metz, northeastern France, the club play at the Stade Saint-Symphorien. Their honours include two Coupe de France titles and two Coupe de la Ligue wins. Known as Les Grenats (The Garnets), their signature grenat maroon colour sets them apart from any other club in French football.

The grenat shirt is the soul of FC Metz. That deep maroon-red colour, paired with white trim, has barely changed in decades and gives Metz an identity that shirt collectors and French football fans instantly recognise. Kappa has been a long-term supplier and produced some of the most beloved Metz shirts of the 1990s, when the club were regularly competing in Europe. The clean white away kit provides a sharp contrast to the bold, commanding home look.
