Racing Paris

Racing Club de France, known as Racing Paris, are one of French football's most venerable institutions, a club dating back to the 19th century that enjoyed their greatest era in the 1930s and 1940s. French champions in 1936 and five-time winners of the Coupe de France, Racing were genuine giants of the pre-war and wartime French football landscape, and their sky blue and white colours are among the oldest kit traditions in the French game.

Founded in 1882 as part of the multi-sport Racing Club de France organisation, the football section competed at the top level of French football until the 1960s. Their honours include 1 French Championship (1936) and 5 Coupe de France wins (1936, 1939, 1940, 1945, 1949). Known as Les Bleu et Blanc for their sky blue and white colours.

The sky blue and white home shirt is Racing Paris's most enduring visual identity, a classic combination that speaks to a tradition of Parisian sporting elegance long before PSG reshaped the capital's football identity. The kits from Racing's trophy-winning years in the 1930s and 1940s are pieces of French football history, with surviving examples extremely rare and highly prized by collectors. For fans with an interest in the origins of professional French football, a Racing Paris shirt represents a direct connection to the very foundations of the French game.
