Nagoya Grampus Eight

Nagoya Grampus Eight are one of Japanese football's most storied clubs, famous for two moments that captured the world's attention. In 1992, they signed Gary Lineker, one of England's greatest strikers, as the J-League era dawned. Then in 1995 they appointed Arsene Wenger as manager, and he transformed the club, winning the Emperor's Cup and Super Cup before departing to take charge of Arsenal. Grampus capped it all by winning the J-League title in 2010.

Founded in 1939 as Toyota FC and turned professional in 1991, Nagoya Grampus play at Toyota Stadium and have won the J-League title in 2010 alongside Emperor's Cup honours. Red and black are the club's colours, known across Asia and beyond thanks to the global figures who have worn and managed the shirt.

Red and black define the look of Nagoya Grampus, a palette that has been worn by Lineker, Wenger's title-winning squad, and J-League champions alike. The red shirt from the Gary Lineker era in 1992-94 is one of the most sought-after in J-League collecting. The Wenger years produced equally memorable kits, and the 2010 J-League championship shirt stands as the pinnacle of the modern era. Puma have been among the manufacturers to dress the club.
