2017/18 · Home

Santin Digital, a brand specialised in dressing amateur clubs across northern France, drew sober hoops with the LORC crest on the back and, on the chest, the En Mode Rugby slogan beneath a player's silhouette, flanked on the right sleeve by Marquette-lez-Lille's wave shaped municipal emblem. The sponsor is MultiRénove S.A.R.L., a regional building firm, its logo drawn as a house, with LORC in green letters finishing the back with no number.

It is the 2017/18 shirt, a decade after the name change that united the three communes under one badge, worn the year after the Haut Touquet stadium opened.

Here at Hoopster, enter Lille's suburban rugby in its own right: three town halls, one stadium and hoops with no pretensions.
