In addition to being original, these armbands, which are 17 in number, are filled with history linked to Brittany and the city.
The emblematic corners of the city in the same armband
Proud of its city and its agglomeration, the club has decided to bring together several emblematic places of the city of Lorient and its surroundings, on the armband n ° 5. Thus, we can find the emblematic beaches of Guidel, which was a great success with local surfers, the peristyle or the tower of the discovery which was precisely built by the company of the Indies in 1737, before being rebuilt almost 50 years old after by the royal navy.
When you think of Lorient, and more generally, of Brittany, impossible not to mention fishing. First maritime fishing region in France, the Bretons are proud of their fishing tradition, which they strive to preserve. In their armband n ° 11, FC Lorient wanted to pay tribute to the fashion of fishermen and the Breton sailor, with the iconic yellow wax.
Eco -responsibility also honored
Brassard n ° 8, meanwhile, represent scales of Merlus, nickname given to this team from Lorient in connection with the activity of the Cuissard family in the marshed, at the creation of the club in 1926, can be read on their site. A creation at the Lorient fishing port, first auction of France.
To accompany Lorient history and culture, the Ligue 2 club has also focused on the future, with eco -responsible armbands. Indeed, their brassard n ° 6 is completely unprecedented, since it is made from recycled sails, honoring the Vendée Globe, famous sailing race, but also Lorient-La Base, the first European hut of offshore racing, which was an old base of submarines.
