AS Saint-Étienne’s new nuclear green hummel jersey isn't one that will slip into a rotation unnoticed.
Unveiled on French national television on Sunday evening by Timothy Chalamet no less, the jersey lands in a sharp green hue, closer to high visibility than heritage green.
A diagonal ASSE pattern runs across the body, giving the shirt a sense of motion and intent, resulting in a jersey that looks like it was made to be worn under lights rather than analysed on a mood board.
As ever with Saint-Étienne and hummel, the thinking goes beyond aesthetics. The jersey is made using recycled plastic, reworked into a high-performance polyester that meets the physical demands of the modern game.
Lightweight, breathable and functional, the jersey reflects the shared environmental commitments that have defined the partnership from the outset.
Personally, the kit feels like an extension of the club’s famed willingness to experiment, while also serving as a reminder that even within tradition-heavy institutions, there is still room to play and try something different.
