French side Stade Malherbe Caen is celebrating its 110th anniversary this year, and to mark the occasion, the club has partnered with Kappa, their kit maker, and Saint-James, their official dressing partner, to create a limited edition collector’s kit.
Collaboration between brands is always exciting, and for their 110th anniversary, SM Caen has brought together the two brands associated with the club. Saint James, a fashion label, has been the official dresser of Stade Malherbe Caen since 2014, while Kappa has been the club’s equipment supplier for the past two seasons. The collaboration between the two brands resulted in a lifestyle capsule that subtly references the club through the use of its traditional colors, as well as an exclusive match kit.
The exclusive match kit will be worn by the players on October 21st in the match against Auxerre at the Ornano stadium. The players will also be sporting the lifestyle collection upon their arrival for the game. The Kappa x Saint James Caen 110-year anniversary jersey features an off-white base with two horizontal stripes in the club colors: one red and one blue.
As part of the collaboration, a special logo was created, integrating the iconic stripes of the Normandy brand into Kappa’s famous Omini logo. This new logo can be seen throughout the lifestyle collection, as well as on the right chest of the kit and on the upper arms. Only 110 jerseys have been produced for retail, adding to the limited edition allure of the drop.
To complete the collection, fans can also find a range of lifestyle products featuring the collaborative logo. This includes t-shirts, jackets, and accessories, all of which showcase the unique design.
Overall, the Kappa x Saint James SM Caen collection is a must-have for fans and collectors alike. With its limited edition status and stylish design, it is a fitting tribute to the club’s 110-year history. Fans can purchase the collection on the Kappa website. So, don’t miss out on this opportunity to show your support for Stade Malherbe Caen in style!
